“God does not speak to us from the outside. God speaks from your innermost core. But we do not hear, because that still, small voice is lost in the turmoil of the mind.
Meditation is the science of stilling the mind, so that the inner voice can be heard. When you started hearing the inner voice, no other guide is needed. Then God is your guide.
Then we do not have to choose between different alternatives, because then he directs you from within towards that which is right
Meditation is learning the art of making the mind silent. And the art can be reduced to a simple maxim: to watch the mind. Watch the mind and what goes on in the mind without evaluation, without condemnation and without appreciation. Just be a watcher of the mind with awareness and acceptance.
When you can watch the mind by and by it becomes silent.
And the day the mind is silent, one hears the inner voice. And for the first time you have found the inner guide, the true spiritual teacher.
The outer spiritual teacher helps you to find the inner spiritual teacher.”
