How do we know we are listening to the Universe and not our own mind?

Our mind is always telling us to do something and to not do something else; it is always weighing the odds. And chances are we end up listening to our mind. The universe is also always guiding us, but more often than not, we ignore the voice of the universe. We cannot be sure that we are listening to the voice of the universe so long as we live in our five senses.

We have all experienced what is called intuition or instinct, which is the voice of the universe. For example, I get a feeling that I should not go for a party that I have been looking forward to. But overriding that feeling, I decide to go to the party anyway because all my friends will be there. Upon the reaching the venue, I see that it is a big mess, and that’s when I realize that the feeling or instinct of not going to the party was actually the universe telling me not to go. But because I heeded ‘logic’ which came from my mind, I went there and realized I should have listened to that voice, that first little feeling or sensation I got which told me not to go. If we follow that very voice when facing any situation, we know we are listening to the universe and we will never ever go wrong.

Can I say that my right hand likes my left hand, or that my right hand communicates with my left hand? Both hands are a part of the same body, so they are in communication with each other anyway, quite naturally. Similarly, we are a part of the energy force which is the universe. Our thoughts, our feelings, everything is a part of it. It is always in communication with us anyway.

We simply need to Just Be, because we ARE the universe!
