| Chapter 7: Listen to Your Healthy Heart |
The Truth is Reverberating Within Us
How can we keep our hearts healthy? Once our hearts are afflicted, how can we restore their health? Each of us must intently listen to the truth that reverberates within us.
Our inner Self is constantly supplying us with the exact information we need: the truth emanating straight from the heart of the Universe. Just as migratory birds flying in the great sky can aim precisely at their destinations, and just as young salmon that incubated in a river go to the sea and finally return unerringly to the same river, all lives are guided by the Universal Law. While living together in harmony, everything in Great Nature gives full expression to its God-given wisdom in tune with the universal design.
Human beings, though capable of discerning all there is to life and death, are oblivious to their limitless, divine wisdom. They ignore the directives of their inner selves and lead aimless, desperate existences, not grasping even the first thing about life and death.
Though many people are living their lives in all seriousness, they really understand next to nothing about themselves. Despite their earnest wish to live in love, happiness and peace, they deeply hurt themselves and others. They tell themselves that they do not wish to curse, injure, fight against or kill others, yet they are doing those very things in spite of themselves.
Why does this happen? Is it because the world itself is ailing? Or is it because each human heart is afflicted?
An unhealthy heart can only produce unhealthy words and actions. However you might try, however you might endure, an unhealthy heart can never bear healthy fruit. Your efforts can never get off the ground.
The first thing each of us must do is to rediscover our own healthy heart. We must recall what we once lost sight of—what still exists deep within us.
Listen Only to Your Healthy Heart
Observe yourself closely. Remember a time when you breathed with flawless health. Focus on your true Self. Hear its voice. Do not ignore the divine voice that reverberates within. Tune in to it. Believe in yourself. Listen to the cry that is echoing from the depths within the depths of your soul. That voice of truth is the reverberation of your healthy heart. Joined with the source of the universe, it is emitting the vibrations of truth to you.
Do not be misled by the cries of the egocentric thoughts that assail you. I can hear those desperate voices crying out for happiness, wanting to escape from suffering. I can hear the voices that shout: “I hate him!...” “He is torturing me!...” “I wish him bad luck!...” “How I adore my child!...” “I can’t bear to see him like this!...” “My heart aches so, what can I do?...” “I can hardly breathe!...” “Take away my agony!...” “Take away my illness!...” “I wish I were in his shoes!...” “I want a house!...” “I want money!... “I want to be president!... “I want to be on the Board of Directors!...” “I want to be famous!...” “I want to be respected!...” “I want to be rescued from the suffering and the terror of illness!...”
These are the cries and pleas that you keep emitting in your heart. Yet none of them come from your true Self—do not fool yourself into thinking that they do. They are the voices of your illusory thought waves, returning to you now from past worlds. They are returning to you from where they have been hiding—among the layers of thought vibrations piled up in your subconscious mind. They are emerging now, at the moment when they are meant to fade away and disappear.
Those discordant vibrations were produced by an ailing heart. Do not listen to them. They will only drag you down. Let them fade away, as they are meant to do.
Do you not notice another voice, resonating with clarity and freshness from the innermost depths of your being?Its vibrations are coursing toward you at all times, bearing the wisdom of your true Self. Each member of mankind, no matter who it is, has this inexhaustible wisdom flowing within them, reverberating without inhibition.
If we consciously and calmly examine our hearts from a new perspective, we can awaken to that fine resonance, emanating from a place much further upstream than the voices of our desires. We can sense it cascading forth, vibrant with life energy, abundant with all that is infinite. |
