consciousness, all calm, tranquil, almost silent.
Those who are in contact with the true consciousness
see all the possibilities at the same time and may deliberately
choose even the most unfavourable, if necessary. But to reach
this point, you must go a long way.
CWM 4: 2-3

Recognising the Divine Will
How are we to know, you will ask, when it is the Divine Will
that makes us act? The Divine Will is not difficult to recognise.
It is unmistakable. You can know it without being very far on
the path. Only you must listen to its voice, the small voice
that is here in the heart. Once you are accustomed to listen,
if you do anything that is contrary to the Divine Will, you feel
an uneasiness. If you persist on the wrong track, you get very
much disturbed. If, however, you give some material excuse
as the cause of your uneasiness and proceed on your way,
you gradually lose the faculty of perception and finally you
may go on doing all kinds of wrong and feel no uneasiness.
But if, when once you feel the least disturbance, you stop and
ask of your inner self, “What is the cause of this?” then you
do get the real answer and the whole thing becomes quite
clear. Do not try to give a material excuse when you feel a
little depression or a slight uneasiness. When you stop and
look about for the reason, be absolutely straight and sincere.
At first your mind will construct a very plausible and beauti-
ful explanation. Do not accept it, but look beyond and ask,
“What is it that is behind this movement? Why am I doing
this?” Finally you will discover, hidden in a corner, the little
ripple — a slight wrong turn or twist in your attitude that is
causing the trouble or disturbance.
