The guidance of the inner voice, is so obvious, that we tend to underestimate it, and sometimes ignore it, and not pay due respect to it. Because our eyes and sense organs, are helplessly bounded, to the need of the form, we couldn’t appreciate the inner guru, who stays in us , and always seek for something external, which we think could give us peace and prosperity . Our life passes to find this something external, whether it is money a relationship, or a position or a knowledge, or different forms of respect from the society . Our seeking for this external pursuits, are endless, and that is what, tends us to ignore the inner wealth, which exist in us .
