Does a question arise of how we can hear that inner voice? It is very easy friends: if you can avoid hearing outside sounds automatically the inner voice will come to your ears. Hearing this sound is called meditation or concentrating on God.
We are surrounded by lots of sounds. There are sounds in our brains too. Different types of worries like pending work or some important task always hit us. Outside sounds can be stopped by closing the eyes and ears but sounds of the brain are very difficult to stop.
There is a method to do this by just concentrating on the sound of your heartbeat and on the sound of your breath. Besides these two sounds, there is one more sound too, it is like a vibration sound or the sound of a cricket.

After some time you will feel relaxed and overwhelmed after concentration or meditation. This experience is exotic and extraordinary.
