Voice # 1 - Is our own voice, produced by our vocal chord. The voice we use to express ourselves to others. Voice # 2 : Is that which we hear from others, from your ancestors. They all sound different and are recorded thus in our memory - as we remember the words we heard, a long time ago and apply them in changing circumstances of our lives, even many years after the actual verbalization, sometimes we hold these voices of those other people within ourselves for life. Voice # 3 : Is that of God, the Universe or Nature - The divine, that resides within every person. It is the voice which guides us, makes us define the right from the wrong, guards and warns us whenever we are in danger. It is the voice that 'knows', it is pure and it is omniscient, thus, it is also the voice that gospels intuitions. Self conflicting thoughts are born whenever one of the these voices are in opposition to the others. Even the most qualified individual ends up leading a docile wasteful life when, for example, voice of the divine and the others oppose their own. On the contrary, the most useless illiterate person on the face of the planet can become a king when all the three voices, in them, are in harmony and in sync with one another. In India, professional salutation is done with 'Namaste' and the younger generation bow down and take the blessings of their elders to enforce this power of voices - to generate productivity and ensure harmony between everybody, in turn, making sure all are free from self-conflicting thoughts.
