The inner voice is another name for the Buddhi (intellect). Man is guided by this inner voice in the conduct of his life. Whenever problems arise, he awaits the directives of the inner voice. If satisfactory answers are not forthcoming from his inner voice, he will have no satisfaction in life. In other words, one’s satisfaction with the external world is a function of one’s satisfaction while one’s inner world, represented by the inner voice. Sometimes you hear people saying, ‘My conscience is not satisfied, or my conscience does not approve of this’. Here, conscience refers to this inner voice. Only when you follow the dictates of your conscience can you reach the right destination.

-Divine Discourse, 26th May 1990.
