Full Text 1 God speaks to us in many ways and one of them is the little voice within us, the voice of our own conscience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=0 2 there was once a blind widow lady who used to live by the seaside with her Illiterate teenage daughter. Since they had no other means of sustenance, the daughter would do the only thing that she knew, she would dive into the ocean in search of precious stones and if at all she found any, she would sell them off in the market and that would bring the food to the table for both of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=13 3 One day she left for the ocean and did not return by night time, when 48 hours went by the mother realized that the worst of her fears must have come true, in all likelihood her daughter probably dived into the ocean and went so deep that she did not return, a few more days went by, the mother was famished (extremely hungry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=54 4 she knew that her daughter used to collect stones in a jewel box on the shelf, she groped her way to the box, she found some polished objects there, with great hopes she took the box to the nearby jeweler and explained her predicament, she said, sir, I am in dire trouble, my only daughter has died in the ocean, I am blind, I have no means of survival, can you please purchase these stones and give me a few thousand dollars so that at least I can continue eating for the next few months, the jeweler opened the box and was astonished by what he saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=90 5 he said, mother, I don't have the money to buy the jewels in this box, I will contact the Jewelers Association, we all together can definitely earn from this but we will have to put a fund together by all of us contributing for it, in the meantime I am giving you $300, come back in 10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=148 6 This kind and honest jeweler, he called for a meeting of the Jeweler's Association, there he explained to them what had happened and showed them the jewels and the box, they chided (criticize or blame) him, what a fool you are, that blind lady was unaware of what she was giving you, you could have taken it all for a few thousand dollars, now you are telling us that this is worth five million and we all need to contribute to it, she was blind & she could not have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=182 7 The jeweler said, yes, the lady was blind but my conscience was not blind, I could have cheated her but I could not have cheated my own self. In the same way, all of us have this voice of conscience, that speaks to us from within, if we listen to it, if we choose to be true to ourselves, we will never be false to the other, this is a simple way of aligning our actions and our thoughts with truth, with goodness, with honesty and with the will of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yei3aFpge5c&t=225
