To me, the essence of keeping the soul nourished is obedience
to one's conscience. I don't think that the soul can be
nourished unless people have a strong sense of conscience
that they have educated and developed and soaked in the
universal and timeless principles of integrity and service. This
way, the individual's soul becomes part of the universal soul
of service, contribution, and making a difference.
Are you more likely to listen to your conscience or
to your "rational," logical mind?
What has happened when you've ignored the messages of your conscience? How many people have been affected? How?
How can we "train" our conscience?
For further thought:It is not because people's desires are strong that they
act ill; it is because their consciences are weak.
There is no natural connection between strong impulses and a
weak conscience. The natural connection is the other way.
John Stuart Mill
