The Divine Will is Unmistakable
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 you uneasiness and proceed on you way, you gradually lose the faculty of perception and finally you may go on doing all kinds of wrong and feel no 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 beautiful 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.
