Clear conscience as a personal quality - the ability to live in accordance with the internal moral law, nobly and decently; establish an ideally pure connection with God.
The less time remained until night, the more often the rich man sighed, the more melancholy his gaze became. For the third year now, the greedy rich man was tormented by insomnia. Doctors prescribed him pills, massages and warm salt baths. Everything was useless. The rich man changed many sofas and beds, but nothing helped. An old servant, seeing the torment of his master, said one day: “You need to find a person who sleeps soundly and sweetly, and buy a pillow on which he sleeps.” Then sleep will return to you. “Go and find me such a pillow,” the banker was delighted. All the banker's acquaintances and friends had problems sleeping. Then the servant remembered that in his native village people always slept soundly and sweetly, and he went there.
He arrived in the village on Sunday, early in the morning. He got out of the carriage, walked down the street and suddenly heard loud snoring coming from the rickety house. The servant banged on the door for a long time. Finally, a peasant climbed out onto the porch and said: “Why, you shameless one, don’t let a man sleep on Sunday?” - Don’t you suffer from insomnia? - asks the servant. - Instead of asking nonsense, it’s better to go your own way! — the man got angry. - Dear man, sell me your pillow. I will pay dearly. “Maybe it will help my master sleep, otherwise he is completely exhausted from insomnia,” the servant asked. The man grinned and answered: “I don’t have a pillow.” I'm already sleeping soundly. They say the softest pillow is a clear conscience. Let your master try it.
Benjamin Franklin said: “If you want to sleep soundly, take a clear conscience to bed with you.”
A clear conscience is an open road to peace of mind and comfort. Conscience is called the internal moral law, a particle of God, the Oversoul. All these definitions are correct. As soon as a person thinks or does something reprehensible, an “alarm” goes off inside: “Attention! You are acting dishonestly!” A person experiences an unpleasant feeling in the center of his chest - this is called the voice of conscience. When, after an action, the soul rejoices and the mind rubs its hands joyfully, the conscience remains silent.
A person in passion, having done something indecent, begins to bargain with his conscience, to persuade it. He activates his powerful justification mechanism, takes the mind, feelings, ego as allies and tries to crush conscience with all his might. “Yes, I acted dishonestly, but...” People in passion are distinguished by this “but.” They simply do not want to admit to an unseemly act because accepting the voice of conscience means experiencing real pain in the mind and mind.
Paul Henri Holbach wrote: “Conscience is our inner judge, unmistakably indicating how much our actions deserve the respect or censure of our loved ones.”
If conscience is considered in isolation from the conditioning of the vicious qualities of the individual, it is always crystal clear. However, people in ignorance and passion manage to stain their conscience with vices, or even completely lose touch with it. Therefore, a clear conscience is understood as such a qualitative state of a person when no one or nothing interferes with the connection with God: neither envy, nor lust, nor greed, nor pride, nor self-interest.
The voice of conscience is directly related to reason. When a person finds himself in a situation, he evaluates it through the voice of conscience and comes to a true understanding of things - what “is good and what is bad.”
A woman doctor cannot sleep - her conscience and reason are arguing. Conscience: - You can’t sleep peacefully after cheating on your husband! Reason: - It depends on what! If the husband is always busy and doesn’t have enough time for sex, then the saint will cheat. It's right that I cheated... I'm telling you... Conscience: - Treason and betrayal are different! Copulation with a patient is a violation of medical ethics! Reason: - Yes, but remember Ivanova from the 25th clinic. She regularly has sex with patients - everyone is happy, everyone is fine. Conscience becomes silent. The woman falls asleep... and suddenly her conscience whispers caustically: - Yes, but Ivanova is not a veterinarian...
A person who trusts his own mind is a fool. The mind always says what is beneficial to it, what promises it pleasure, that is, it always speaks in its own favor. He is not called upon to think about whether it is useful or harmful, right or wrong, whether it is possible to do this or absolutely not. A reasonable person, knowing the nature of his mind, does not trust it.
Philosopher Oleg Torsunov writes: “People are divided into two categories, mainly: reasonable and unreasonable. And the difference in these people is that some are constantly in illusion, while others are constantly breaking this illusion within themselves. And, speaking in psychological language, the difference between them lies in the fact that some people trust what their mind tells them, or, in another way, their inner voice, as it were, the feeling that this is so. But other people don’t trust this feeling. It should be understood that intelligent people can distinguish between the voice of the mind and the voice of the Supersoul. Because the voice of the mind always speaks in its own favor. And the voice of the Oversoul, it always speaks in such a way that at first one gets the feeling that this voice is calling for a difficult path, but then it turns out that this is the best path. And the most correct one."

A person with a pure consciousness can communicate with his conscience without interference. A noble, decent person with a pure consciousness has a strong, stable connection with God. Only with pure consciousness will conscience, as the representation of God in man, suggest the only correct decision. Conscience never makes mistakes, for it is a delegate from the Absolute Truth - God. God speaks to man through conscience. If a person’s mind is polluted by selfishness, pride, envy, ignorance, the connection is interrupted. A person has no one to consult with, so he does stupid things, makes mistake after mistake.
A person with a pure soul, under the influence of the energy of goodness, makes friends with his conscience - a channel of communication with God. Pay attention to what syllables the word “conscience” consists of - so and news. Conscience is communion with the message, communion with spiritual knowledge. The message is knowledge. So, God through conscience gives us infallible knowledge in the heart. Psychologist Oleg Gadetsky writes: “Conscience is nothing more than a channel of spiritual intuition. This is the inner guidance that every living being has. But can we live at this level? If we learn to recognize these signals, if we learn to live in accordance with this inner guidance, our life will become error-free. Simply unmistakable."
“Yes, the one whose conscience is not clear is pitiful,” wrote A.S. Pushkin. As a judge, Mulla Nasreddin could not establish who was to blame: the defendant or the plaintiff - and decided to punish both with blows with a stick. Having completed this procedure, he sighed with relief: “Now my conscience is clear, because the culprit probably did not escape punishment.”
There is nothing in the world more vigilant than a clear conscience. The keen eye of a clear conscience is purer than a diamond. A keen conscience unerringly evaluates the most complex and delicate situation and always gives the only good advice. To gain a vigilant, clear conscience, you need to work hard: cleanse your consciousness from the filth of low material desires, try not to do stupid things, remove yourself from sinful actions, and establish a strong connection with the Absolute Truth - God.
The keen eye of a pure soul, only through it can one see the world without illusions and embellishments. If the soul is not conditioned by vices, if it has not come under evil influence negative qualities personality, which means that it fully generates and conveys to others the energy of joy and happiness. The soul is determined to see in every person the prospects for his development, his personal potential. At the same time, she vigilantly identifies vicious inclinations in any person. Correct diagnosis becomes possible precisely because of the purity of the soul and conscience. The polluted, conditioned soul is short-sighted. When you yourself are dirty, you are not particularly worried about the untidiness of others. The environment and surroundings affect consciousness.
The opposite of a clear conscience is a stained conscience. Stain is a blot on the conscience. When the conscience is stained, the connection with God is lost. In the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus Christ likened conscience « oku » (eye), through which a person sees his moral state (Matt. 6:22).
With a stained conscience it is impossible to see the truth of life. There is no one to get advice from. The connection with the Absolute Truth is severed. A person is left alone with difficult life situations. No one can tell you how to react to them.
A person under the influence of the energy of ignorance, that is, with a stained conscience, says: “Where my conscience should be, my reproductive organ has grown.” To the question: - Name some rudiment of a person, the degenerate will answer: - Conscience. The best wish for a scoundrel is: - No shame, no conscience.
Advertisement in the newspaper: “Conscience is lost. If anyone finds it, they can take it for themselves...”
In general, in the context of conscience, a person in ignorance speaks like this:
“My conscience is so pure and transparent that it is practically invisible.
“I have so much conscience that I don’t even dare to think about bad things.” You have to do something dirty right away, without thinking.
— A clear conscience is a sign of bad memory.
— A clear conscience indicates the beginning of sclerosis.
- The worse the memory, the clearer the conscience.
— The art of fucking your own brains is called conscience!
- Have you completely lost your conscience?! “I didn’t lose anything, I just threw it away as unnecessary.”
- If conscience is not in the know, then it is in the lot.
“Nothing bothers people more than a bad conscience,” says Erasmus of Rotterdam. When conscience is stained, a person does not understand how to behave correctly, so he commits bad actions, even a crime. A stained conscience becomes the cause of indecent behavior. Moral guidelines are lost, a person loses the idea of what coordinate system he is in, what boundaries should not be violated, so as not to become a scumbag and a scoundrel in his own and others’ eyes.
In a word, with a stained conscience, a person sees the world distortedly, as if he perceives it through a window with dirty stains. A clear conscience always indicates the limits beyond which there is lack of culture, unbridledness and degradation.

Since the will is not subject to time, remorse does not go away with time, like other sufferings do. Crime oppresses the conscience even after many years, just as painfully as immediately after it was committed.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Since character is innate to us by nature, actions are only manifestations of it, and reasons for great crimes are very rare, and besides, fear and threat keep us from them; since, further, our own mood for ourselves is revealed in desires, thoughts and affects, remaining invisible to outsiders, we can assume that there are people with an innate evil conscience who, however, do not commit crimes.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Ah, I feel: nothing can do us
In the midst of worldly sorrows, to calm;
Nothing, nothing... is there only one conscience!
So, healthy, she will triumph
Over malice, over dark slander;
But if there is only one spot in it,
One thing started up accidentally,
Then trouble: like a pestilence
The soul will burn, the heart will fill with poison,
Like a hammer, it hammers in your ears with reproach
And everything feels nauseous and my head is spinning,
And the boys have bloody eyes...
And I’m glad to run, but there’s nowhere... terrible!...
Yes, pitiful is the one whose conscience is unclean!
A.S. Pushkin("Boris Godunov")
