What is the reason for this enquiry? Because crying (sorrow) is not the innate nature of man. Every person is interested in knowing why he was crying because they knew that crying was not a normal quality (or nature) of man. On the other hand, when a person is looking happy and joyful, no one asks him why he is not looking sorrowful. Because happiness is human nature. In other words, it is the principle. Similarly, to ‘follow consciousness’ also means the same. To follow consciousness is the natural (or right) course for man; and to follow the external world or nature’s traits is not the right course. Before whatever you do, you must question yourself whether it satisfies your conscience; you need not worry whether others are praising, despising or criticizing.
