The VOICE
In his capacity as the United Nations Secretary General, Dag Hammarskjold had his hands full with international issues and plans to defuse diplomatic crises. On one such mission of reconciliation, his plane met with a mysterious accident over Africa and he lost his life.
After his death, it was his personal diary that revealed the depth of his interior life in the very midst of pressing preoccupations. One precious insight drawn from his personal experience is that “the longest journey is the journey inwards”.
Our age is busy creating missiles and apps, wracking brains to make vaccinations that combat diseases etc. We live in an era that has achieved marvels in outer space by landing men on the moon, sending probes to Venus and Mars and exploring the unknown.
But we have not been as successful in exploring our inner space, or even sensing its value and importance.
While we do pray… sometimes spending hours, days and months doing it…. does the exercise really give us inner peace as well as emotional and spiritual wellness? If not, these efforts would remain fruitless.
Then what’s the way out?
Marhamm Therapy offers a way. It works by reprogramming and redirecting oneself to a journey inward and helps listen to one’s inner voice.
Prayers anchor us to God.
It makes us keep our heart at the lotus feet of the Lord while we plunge into the struggles of life (Krishna’s advice to Arjuna in the Gita).Prayer could be linked to Jesus’ injunction: “When you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to Your Father who is unseen.” (Mt. 6:6)
We need to move towards deeper levels within ourselves, towards the core of our being where we meet the One who created us, HE who is watching and waiting for us, the One who is the source of our being and the meaning of our life.
Listen to the voice inside… the voice of the SOUL.
There is a VOICE inside
of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.
“No Teacher, Preacher, Parent or Friend
Or Wise man can decide what’s right for you.
Just listen to the VOICE
that speaks inside.
Ever wondered why we don’t hear this
voice within ??
Is it because there is NOISE outside?
YES..there is Noise
Noise of traffic
Noise of crowd
Noise of things irrelevant and relevant.
Yet, this noise outside is much less
much frail
than the NOISE inside of us
Noise of anger
Noise of guilt
Noise of revenge
Noise of hatred…and then
Alas!!
We do not hear the VOICE aka the
CONSCIENCE
The inward journey, by its very nature, takes us outward, back to life but with a renewed vision, a new sense of purpose and deeper commitment to work for a better world.
May our inner journey help us listen to the inner voice that will certainly liberate us from being absorbed in ourselves and our narrow interests.
God bless !!
