[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 146334, member: 14641"] Another day has passed, and still the inner voice is quiet.Mulling this over at around 5pm yesterday I lay in bed with my 2 dogs and wondered why, at the very moment I had decided to give some weight to this mysterious voice inside me, it had gone quiet. I remembered something ambarsariaji had written about animals and looking into an animals eyes. The elder dog, alfie, a black flat coated retriever, was my mother in law's guide dog, when she died, alfie came to live with us, he is old now with white beard, and he is obsessed with my wife, he will wait downstairs all day till she comes home, and then sleeps at the bottom of the bed by her feet. I looked into Alfie's eyes and saw my grandfathers eyes, peaceful, but also something else, acceptance, a look of complete acceptance. I looked at my other dog, dan, who I have known since he was a puppy, a cross lab/boxer, much younger than alfie, in his eyes there was love, but also fear, the look of someone who has everything and is terrified of losing it. I thought about what I had learned since reading through the enormous amount of material here, no heaven, no hell, no abrahamic miracles, just plain good honest truth. At this point I realised possibly where I was going wrong, there was lots of truths, but no love. I could hear my inner voice in the peace of the bedroom, but it was barely a whisper. Did I love the voice, no, I do not think I did, did I love myself? If I were to be honest, I suppose I loathed myself. Did this seem to affect the process, yes, I think it would. I imagined being the sort of person who did japji every morning, and wondered if it were possible I would be happy. Suppose instead of following the truth,you loved the truth, loved it enough that waking up in the morning you couldn't wait to say good morning to the truth and express your love for it in the way of prayer, 30 mins of ecstasy that you would treasure in the same way as writing a long love letter to your wife. The path suddenly seemed clearer, instead of concentrating in living a good life and doing what god wants, with a reward of everlasting milk and honey next to a white bearded sage, the object was to live that life here on earth, following the truth, loving the truth, until that feeling of ecstasy fills you that all you want to do is sing to god and praise god, not because of fear or order, but because your heart wills you to. Is it possible that the feeling of love for god surpasses any other fix in this life, maybe its better than any drug or drink. So, clearly the more I loved this truth, the louder the words would be. My wife came home around 6pm, as usual the dogs ran downstairs madly excited, Alfie ran first, then ran back to look for something as a gift. Every day, he will present my wife with a gift, sometimes its my boot, or my pants, today it is a pink plastic pig (the pig of happiness). We had tea, and I explained my current situation, and discussed my new found theories. My wife listened quietly, and then said, well if that is sikhism, then I am and always have been a sikh.
