Swami Mukundananda
How do I know what is the right thing to do when I am unsure?
Use reason first, then inner unease
The Vedas say the mind is not to be relied upon until it is fully purified, so use your logic and rationality to see whether something is appropriate. If your head says it is right but your inner self says something is wrong, doubt the logic of your head. In general, follow your rationality.
That is why you should use your logic and reasoning to see whether something is appropriate. Sometimes reasoning is not fast enough, and then you draw on your memory and past experiences.
