Trust Your Intuition
Come evening, and the elderly couple was there with a music system.
The venue was the banks of the lake.
Unmindful of the surroundings, the elderly couple sang to their heart’s content. Using the tunes of karaoke, they belted out golden melodies of Hindi songs one after the other. They sang solo as well as duet. They begin with devotional songs and then switching over to melodies. The setting was perfect — twilight hues emanating from the setting sun, evening breeze, branches of the trees swaying in the wind, plants, and flowers dancing gracefully in the wind.
The banks of the lake were filled with health-conscious people strolling along the walking strips, while children were busy playing in the area allocated to them. There were some wooden and steel benches donated by a local politician, which were placed along the banks of the lake. These benches were occupied mostly by senior citizens, and they sat in quietude listening to the songs of the elderly couple.
The lake’s surroundings were decorated with paper thoran of different colours, which were swaying in ecstasy for two reasons. Firstly, due to the reverberations of the melodies of the elderly couple, and secondly, the tickling of the evening breeze. The melodies echoed along the walking strips, and everyone was seen immersed in it. Some nodding their heads while listening to the songs, some doing the lips services to the songs, while some even singing along, as if they are possessed by some singing ghosts!

What is praiseworthy was the way these elderly couple were enjoying their songs. They were simply immersed in it and their voice had the power to mesmerize the people sitting in the benches and even those walking and playing! It is because, those songs were rendered from within as they were coming from their souls!
This is what happens when you focus on your passion, dream and hobby, with determination. Then, you don’t have to worry about the outcome or the results. There is no fear of failure or rejection. When you are so connected to the soul, the nature takes over, and you will be submerged into the abundance of universe and its unfathomable powers, making your efforts extra ordinary. The elderly couple simply showed that.
Each one of us has a unique gift given by the Nature. It is for us to recognise it and work bring to fruition. There will be plenty of signals from the universe for you to make out. But for that to happen, you need to fine tune the antenna of your inner self to capture the signals from the universe. Such signals could be in the form of an unexpected opportunity coming in your way, or you are asked to do something which you have not done before, or it must be an innocuous comment from someone, or you are getting some new responsibilities, or some obstacles the resolution of which could be for the betterment of the society as well, and so on.
Some would say that it was a coincidence that he or she happened to meet a person quiet unexpectedly. No, it is not a coincidence because you were talking or thinking about him for some reasons. And it was simply because your internal waves and thoughts were so powerful that the universe conspired to make it happen.
On occasions, you are so frustrated, depressed, and out of mood, wondering how to get some relief. Go out to the nature and you are comforted by a breeze, which took away all your worries and frustrations. It is because, you let your inner self to get connected with the nature. Mother Nature is so powerful, and it can do wonders to you, provided you recognize the signals emanated from the universe and follow accordingly.
“I have a strong intuition that this plan will work”, the other day, I heard a friend saying so during a conversation. Needless to mention, this person very often uses this comment in whatever major decisions or ventures he plans. And the fact is that all those decisions or views turned out to be true or successful. In other words, he trusted his intuition. Intuition is nothing but the signals from your inner self which are in sync with the law or voice of nature. He does not ignore them, but work on it, which was possible only because he had strong faith in his intuition and recognized every signal emanating from the universe.
Are you connected to your inner self?
