The Importance of Intuition

Insight is not just a conceptual thing, it's something you experience in your life. In ordinary terms, it's connected with unselfish, selfless behaviour. And the test of whether you've really developed insight is that you behave selflessly. The delusions which prevent us from seeing things as they really are are attitudes as deeply rooted,. almost as sentient existence itself. Only way we can aroove and see through them is by systematic prolonged meditation on the fact that the world, as we know it, is unreal. We have to get down to these very basic emotions in ourselves and see ourselves more broadly in that way.
