The Lighthouse

I have an interesting topic to write down today. The topic throws light on an object that is so much connected to each one of us around the globe or more specifically I can put it down as the object which is 'inside' us. Don't be under the impression that the object I am talking about is an imaginary one designed by me! It is neither imaginary nor visible with the naked eye. It can only be heard if one pays attention to it closely. It has a name. But I have given it a different name which was suggested by my father.  

The Lighthouse.

How can a lighthouse be inside a human being? It is constructed to direct the ships in dark! Duh! The reason behind entitling the object with this name would be explained later. First I would like to write in depth about it. The universal name of this object is the 'sixth sense.' I hope now it is a bit easier to analyze about this object. I don't know whether 'object' is the right word for sixth sense. Or can it be described as an 'abstract feeling?' Chuck. I will leave this to you. 

The lighthouse or the divine voice is just like a whisper. I hear it many times in a day. It is very spontaneous. It just appears and disappears like the ocean waves. But it has an outstanding clarity, because it wants us to hear the opinion as transparent as a piece of glass. It depends on us whether we should listen to it or ignore it. Some people call this voice as 'God.' That is due to it's purity and truthfulness. My father had once told me that the voice that alerts you or stops you when you are trying to do something wrong is always right. One should never dishonor it.

I have heard the voice plenty of times in my heart. At that moment I realize that it is not created by me. It is a creator itself. Very natural just as the clouds dart away to show the blue sky or when lightning shines when the rain unfolds. All these phenomenon are the various forms of God. Similarly the voice beneath the clogged brain is yet another form of God. So many people ignore it, not allowing it to grow and it sinks deeper and deeper in the ocean of stress, greed and day to day hassles. It leaves us completely and the traces fade away. Even the time becomes helpless to bring it back. Without that light, we have no one to guide us and acquaint us with the right paths. We become like the wanderers who doesn't know what to seek and love.

I named it as the lighthouse because just as the actual lighthouse directs and guides the ship in time of necessity, the divine light also does the same thing. They are our true companions, intact with our souls. We can inculcate the habit of having a small 'chat' with God by sitting in a silent room in a relaxed position or by walking in a park early in the morning. Recollect all the good and the bad things that you have done and start questioning yourself about them. Slowly and gradually you will start getting answers from within. 

Just as being in contact with your friends on Facebook or Watsapp is very important for you, in the same way do give importance to the contact lying deep within your soul. The responses are more unique, clear and intricately explained than the ones flashed on the apps!
