Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Namah Shivaya all. All this Q/A is very inspiring and has persuaded me to ask 3 sets of questions of my own. 1. What is humility? Would you describe it in one way as "not me but you"? if so or otherwise, how would you feel about describing it as "both you and me" (the meaning here is that I am humble towards myself too)? 2. Can intuition be cultivated? if so, how? what is the test to prove successful cultivation? In the meantime, how does one differentiate between intuition and impulse? 3. What is the point of intersection between reason (or logic) and intuition? they seem to be contradictory, yet I can intuitively (smiles) feel a relation between the two which I can't articulate. hence the question. Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Namaste Sadhu Menon, Your questions are luminous. Its been said that the mind that can ask a good question is very close to the answer; that 90% of the effort is in being able to ask the right questions. I know for a fact that Swami (and probably Maa as well) are looking very closely at the questions we ask, to understand who we are and what our spiritual aptitude is. I have three minutes before I have to go out the door, so, to start the ball rolling, here is a quote from Sri Ramakrishna's chief disciple Swami Vivekananda which may relate, at least iin part, to your first: "I don't believe in humility, I believe in same-sightedness".
