1. The fifth body is known as the Anandamaya Kosha. This is the last, the innermost body – but still the body. When the fourth body is purified, when the fourth body becomes just a transparency, the fifth is realised, because the fourth becomes so transparent then the fifth is felt directly.
  2. In this session we will understand just a body, Annamaya kosha has to be transcended; bliss also has to be transcended. One has to go beyond, because if you cannot go beyond bliss, you are still off the centre.
  3. These five seeds are just seeds, remember. Beyond these five is your reality. These are just seeds surrounding you.
  4. If one is transcending intuition then all the five seeds are dropped and one is eligible for Kaivalya Samadhi.
  5. Let’s first understand the distinction between instinct and intuition. Intuition is your soul, your being. Intellect is your mind. Instinct is your body.
  6. Intuition is like instinct because you cannot do anything about it. It is part of your soul, just as instinct is part of your body.
  7. At the centre of the unconscious is instinct. At the centre of the consciousness is intellect. At the centre of the superconscious is intuition.
  8. Instinct and intuition are both independent of you. Instinct is in the power of nature, of unconscious nature, and intuition is in the hands of the superconscious universe.
  9. Only in the hands of wisdom can intellect be used as a beautiful servant. And the instinct and intuition function together perfectly well: one on the physical level, another on the spiritual level.
  10. According to reason there are two realms of existence: the known and the unknown. But religion says that there are three realms: the known, the unknown, and the unknowable.
  11. The unknowable is the beauty, the meaning, the aspiration, the goal. Because of the unknowable, life means something.
  12. When the body functions spontaneously, that is called instinct. When the soul functions spontaneously, that is called intuition.
  13. How we can transcend Intuition. – In the realm beyond the confines of the thinking mind, lies a profound state of awareness known as no-mind.
  14. Only a no-mind is a creative mind. When the so-called mind disappears and there is just pure emptiness, virgin emptiness, out of that virgin emptiness arises creativity.
  15. Within the boundless expanse of no-mind, truth emerges naturally, as if it were always present but overshadowed by the mental clamour and conceptual frameworks that obscure our perception.
  16. When no-mind unveils the mystical path towards truth one has transcended Intuition to state of silence, truth.
