Feeling a persistent pinch in the heart!
Human Being: Who is it? Are you there once again interrupting me?
Conscience: Yeah. But let me correct you, I’m here to guide you.
Human: Not now, please. I feel completely drained and exhausted after a day’s hustle and bustle. Commuting was tiring as usual; undisciplined traffic and worst of all, the traffic signals. The moment you touch a red signal and your car is surrounded by a variety of professional beggars disguised in selling tabloid newspaper, garlands, holding fake medical prescriptions that either they or their family members are in dire need of surgeries for which they are short of money. Some would pretend dying of starvation, while others would make plea for donations to build Madaris (religious schools).
And yes, I hate the signal boys flocking up the car to clean windshield.
Conscience: This is what I needed to point out. You snubbed the boy that was about to clean your vehicles’ windshield, refused unkindly to buy newspaper, and rolled up the glass to avoid listening to the plight of a beggar. When the beggar insisted and banged the window pane, you scolded him harshly. Wouldn't have been nice had you turned down their pleas in a decent way without hurting their ego?
Human: They have egos? It’s unbearable. My mind simply doesn’t accept helping deceits.
Conscience: Don’t make your mind a scapegoat; it has nothing to do with these acts. It’s the heart that reacts in these situations. Must be feeling a heavy heart about your unruly attitude?
Human: Truly speaking, yeah! I always feel like that afterwards. How could I get away from this situation?
Conscience: When caught up in a situation like that, just listen to your heart while ignoring your mind completely.
Human: Is there any guideline that helps distinguish a deserved one from the fraudulent?
Conscience: There are no instant yardsticks. It’s your heart that communicates and responds to what it listens to from the requester. Speaking gently and offering a dime to even a deceitful would not diminish your wealth. Your penny may become a source of quenching thirst & hunger, and buying much needed medicines. Do help them without pondering the consequences because it’s out of your jurisdiction.
Human: Are you trying to say that heart is better than mind when it comes to decision making?
Conscience: Heart makes far superior decision when the sentiments are involved.
Human: How come?
Conscience: How do you feel in extreme joy and grief? Who reacts, mind or heart?
Human: You are right. It is the heart that pounds heavily.
Human: Where do you reside?
Conscience: I dwell in the hearts. Good people keep me awake every now and then, while bad people stopped listening to me anymore. Sadly, I’m in deep slumber over there!
