Example, inner
That helps you make the right choices
October 19th 2015
Try to develop a kind of inner example that will help you to be able to evaluate with certainty all the conditions, things or beings that present themselves to you. You will then be able to feel whether committing to a particular person, accepting a particular offer or embarking on a particular enterprise will take you closer to or farther away from your spiritual ideal. This can simply be called discernment.
This ability to discern is more a matter of sensation than understanding. It is something that is very difficult to explain; it can also be called intuition. You can develop this ability through observation, reflection, meditation, prayer and, especially, vigilance. It is important to analyse each experience to see where you stand with it. By making every effort to develop this faculty – this inner example or radar – you will increase your ability to make the right decisions and choices.
