“LISTENING TO THE HEART.”

The mind always makes comparisons, such as ‘right or wrong,’ but the heart cannot make any comparisons, because it has no ideas to compare.

Therefore, the heart’s voice is sometimes too free or unrestrained for the rational mind, and in a sense, it is a nuisance.

Because the ego of the mind wants to be ‘rational,’ so-called ‘mature adult,’ if the heart’s voice is not consciously listened to by the person, it is easily denied and suppressed.

Eventually, the voice of the heart of many people will be denied and suppressed by the mind, and its volume will become increasingly faint and inaudible without their being aware of it.

Thus, people who have become too used to suppressing the voice of the heart, even though the voice of the mind is suffocating and rigid, become bound to many stereotypes without realizing it, and even become fixated on their own viewpoints, let alone seeing things from multiple perspectives.

Still, it goes without saying that if one is to step out of the suffocating and rigid world of the mind, the dual world and, aside from spiritual awakening anyway, at least to live life as oneself, one needs to listen to the voice of the heart from the innermost, however faint it may be, rather than the voice of the mind.

That said, it is also true that for those who are not used to listening to the voice of heart, it is often difficult to recognize whether it is the voice of the mind or the voice of the heart. In fact, many times you may mishear the mind’s (ego’s) mere greed as the heart’s.

——— By the way, the mishearing of the mere greed of the mind (ego) as the pure voice of the heart is also very common in intimate relationships, even romantic relationships. ———

This is because the voice of the heart, unlike the voice of the mind (ego), does not take the form of clear words.

For instance, the mind is always bound by comparisons, such as “This is definitely much better,” “This suits much more for my lifestyle,” or by ideas, such as “I should do this,” “This is ridiculous,” or by feelings that are based on stereotypes, such as ‘aversion,’ while the voice of the heart, for instance, if there are A and B in front of you and the heart longs A, then when you touch A, you sense relaxation or genuinely of being interested in A. There is definitely no comparison, no conception of any kind. Also, the pupil, which normally opens and closes in response to the amount of light, naturally opens when touching A, regardless of the brightness of the surroundings, while no such change occurs when touching B.

——— As a matter of fact, feelings of fear or aversion are born from the mind. More specifically, they only come from the mind. On the other hand, what comes from the heart is pure, calm, and moreover you will even be able to sense invisible spatial expansion. ———

Thus, the less we are used to listening the voice of the heart, the more it is drowned out by the noise of the mind (ego) and the harder it becomes to even recognize it.

Yet, the more times we try to listen, the far more clearly we can hear the faint voice of the heart than the voice of the mind, whoever one is.

Furthermore, being able to listen to the voice of the heart is fundamental to deepening one’s spiritual awakening.
Because if you cannot listen to the voice of the heart, you cannot even grasp the direction of the path that the heart most longs to take.

Listening to the Heart is synonymous with ‘taking care of yourself,’ and in fact, listening to the voice of the heart is what will lead you to a life where you can sense the pure happiness without any comparison, of your true nature, as the Consciousness.

Furthermore, it will inevitably lead you to the state of ‘living in the now’ and ‘cherishing the now moment’ as well.

Therefore, take your time and do not be in a hurry, but continue to listen to your true voice (the voice of your heart). (OM 🙏)
