Warnings - that an inner voice gives us
Things to do, people to meet – life is so rich with possibilities! But each time you are about to engage with them, ask yourself whether the possibility on offer will contribute to your development, to the blossoming of your inner life. There are always warning signs. If you feel any dark thoughts, any agitated feelings and any indecision, do not commit yourself, as that is an absolute criterion. After disappointments and difficulties, many recognize that they did actually feel something trying to hold them back, but as their need to do as they wished was stronger they did not take any notice of it, and then came the disappointments and regrets, of course. There are always warnings; no one can say they haven’t received any, but they take no account of them, because they are too tempted, too attracted, and then when they are caught in a trap it’s too late: and what an effort it is then to regain their peace and rectify the situation! So, learn to listen to this inner voice; it is trying to spare you pointless suffering.
