The Honorable Choice

1. A “right” is an act which is done with the full awareness and guidance of one's conscience.
2. You know instantly when you are in the wrong. Your heart is the first to let you know that there was purity lacking in the act performed.
3. If you have failed in pleasing your conscience you will never be at peace.
4. Do not think that a wrong done in the past can be buried in the heart. At some point the turbulence will surface once again and demand for your attention and efforts to cleanse it.
5. First place yourself fully and completely in the hands of God. Fill yourself with His Glorious Smile. Reflect His joy that flows within you. Then only give your mind the permission to think. Every thought that enters then shall be filtered by the faith of the Lord’s presence that flows from within you.
6. Be aware of goodness alone. Do not attach yourself to the efforts and gains. The moment you become aware of that you will lose the spontaneity of being good and will instead begin to focus on the “prepared” act of goodness!
7. Your first duty is to honor and listen to the voice of the conscience. Your every other duty depends on how much you are able to follow your first duty…
8. Even the slightest disobedience to the conscience can cause turmoil within.
9. You live with your Self first… How much you respect your Self will show in how much you respect all else and others at all times.
10. You may begin an act with the right intention and then in the midst of it sway from it. Don’t defend yourself by remembering your initial intention... instead find where you lost yourself… find the place where the right intention slowly turned toward a fearful expectation.
11. If you are in the complete truth… if you have honored the inner voice of God… if you have believed at every moment in your Self, then there is nothing to prove to anyone. Time will tell the story… all you need to do is to be patient and immersed in God’s will.
12. Whenever you have deceived your conscience it will be apparent in the fear your eyes shall hold. However much you may try to hide it, the one of pure heart shall see the fear and know the untruth that hides within.  
13. The one that deceives his conscience will disrespect his Self. When one disrespects his Self he will be ashamed within, no matter what fame and worldly wealth he gains in life.
14. The conscience will always be impartial to desire. That is why a man that harbors his desire shall always be pulled toward the thoughts of his gain rather than the voice of truth that roots him in purity and simplicity.
15. The Guru is within you… No matter how much you fail to follow the voice of truth… He shall continue to guide you from within. He shall never blame you or pin you down to the acts of your past. He awaits your full attention… your complete awareness of Him residing within you. And once you have turned toward Him and held His hand you shall slowly take the steps of transformation in which you witness your own misunderstanding of your Self and walk toward the realization of the truth that you are… was… and always will be…
