Know Thyself through the VoIS

There are two selves in us – called the lower “self” and the higher “Self”. The lower “self” is something that pulls against our evolution; always running after comfort, luxury and desires (the so called "success" in modern parlance) and the higher “Self” is something constantly tries to pull us higher, to engage us in higher thoughts, ideals and always behind the evolutionary forces. Life is an intense struggle between the two as one cannot avoid any of the two selves. It doesn’t take much effort to be with the lower “self” as we see majority of the people around us madly running after this so called “success”. But it takes considerable effort to be with this higher “Self” and pull on with life notwithstanding the apparently opposed kind of life around us. One who is somehow drawn into more towards this higher “Self” is the one who struggles most in the world. In a sense it is easy to be with It and in another sense it becomes very tough vis-à-vis the world around us. But these beings continue to incline towards this as they realize that though apparently it is a struggle, there is a profound strength gathering deep within and things that appeared too big to handle apparently start appearing small, insignificant and clear. It is this strength within, that keeps them going. Following this higher “Self” progressively reveals EVERYTHING about Thyself. And assiduously listening to the VoIS is something that facilitates Knowing the Self. Progressively dissolving of the lower “self” into the higher “Self” is the purpose of the presence of the VoIS. In fact the higher “Self” is the VoIS.
