Allow Yourself To Be in Intuition
True intuition emerges from inner stillness when we allow ourselves to be rather than constantly trying to figure things out through the mind.
Do not think about spirituality too much. Even if it feels like you become jobless now. Thinking about God is not the way to God. Sochai soch na hovai je sochi lakh var - You may think and think and think hundred thousands times but that is not the path to God. The mistaken idea is that gyana-yoga means we think about God. Because it is knowledge-yoga and we feel like knowledge means concept. But that is not the gyana which is gyana-yoga; Gyana is intuitive-insight. I was one time invited to apparently an Advaita session but it was not an Advaita session, it was like a debating society and then it was just like keep quite… this is very, very different for any true spirituality. So do not feel that it is like that, that ‘you have to think and come up with the master concepts and come up with a master understanding and with that, that clarity is the actual clarity’ that is nothing. That will get slapped out of you the minute some small thing shakes in life [Smiles] All the highest concepts go flying out the door. So do not think too much about this. Allow yourself to be in your Intuition. Some of you may have a report that it doesn't feel like the heart area. They may say and I have had this report that ‘Ananta I know that you are not talking about the physical heart. I know that you are talking about like a sense of light or a sense of Being, in the heart region which represents as the core of Being-ness itself. But I don't feel it like that’ and that is absolutely fine, that is absolutely fine. So we use the word Heart (capital h) just to signify the Intelligence which doesn't need mental working. The Intelligence that does not need mental working is your Intuition. So trust that. [One hand up in the air] Like do have to do mental working to confirm that you are perceiving this hand, that you are aware of this? No! It is just apparent. In the same way you do not have to do mental working to confirm that you are Aware. That pool of insight and Intelligence, which is available to us without the need to compute… Without the need to say ‘this therefore that, because of this and then’ all of this time-based stuff and this Intelligence, this heart inside, this intuition is available for all of us. Stop thinking too much about it, stop trying to resolve it in your head too much. Just allow yourself to be relaxed, chill out.
