Inner Voice - Daily Dose of Wisdom

There is an outer world and there is an inner world. As deep as you penetrate, as high as you reach, there is always something breathing inside.

The outer world is made of things. Breathing inside the things are words.

Words are external. Inside the words are stories.

The story is outer. The thought is inner.

Thoughts are outer. Inside lies a spark.

Within all lies the beginning that cannot be known.

The outer we can touch and come to know.

The inner, we must wait still, so that it may speak to us.

As it did at Sinai. As it does whenever we learn Torah with all our heart and soul.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Inner voice

The waiting is painful as i still wait for an answer. I read Torah, I study the sages and I confront man that in many cases is interested more in the price of my house, my ability to demonstrate wealth by ostentatious remarks about rich friends and thier high place in society and not a word about me the person., my values, my belief in Torah and the laws. Some may live in wealth and privilege and feel they have accomplished much yet, there inner voice is mute. Some show to be seen and act in pomposity and if it were possible to see thier soul you would see nothing for it died and dissipated among the material world they covet..

Precious companion!

Inner voice is our precious companion. I try listen and heed to my inner voice. Inner stillness and calmness is what encourage our inner voice to speak to us.

Great thought! Thanks for sharing!

Inner is translated through dreams

The inner speaks through our dreamings, in imagery and/or vocabulary.

(Take note of your dreams.)
