What Prevents Us from Hearing
the Voice of the Soul

The outer being, left to itself, is not very responsible; it is most
often the plaything of the forces of Nature. But the inner or
higher being, the deeper consciousness, is the master and
builder of our destiny. That is why it is so important to discover
this sovereign consciousness and unite with it in order to put
an end to all the incoherences of life and all the conflicts of
Nature.
CWM 14: 335

... all that comes from the mind is wholly relative. The more the
mind is educated and has applied itself to various disciplines, the
more it becomes capable of proving that what it puts forward or
what it says is true. One can prove the truth of anything by rea-
soning, but that does not make it true. It remains an opinion, a
prejudice, a knowledge based on appearances which are them-
selves more than dubious.
So there seems to be only one way out and that is to go in
search of one’s soul and to find it. It is there, it does not make a
point of hiding itself, it does not play with you just to make things
difficult; on the contrary, it makes great efforts to help you find it
and to make itself heard. Only, between your soul and your active
consciousness there are two characters who are in the habit of
making a lot of noise, the mind and the vital. And because they
make a lot of noise, while the soul does not, or, rather, makes as
little as possible, their noise prevents you from hearing the voice
of the soul.
