Answer

Intuitive insight is an expression of superconsciousness. This is developed by a deep, regular practice of meditation. The more we concentrate at the higher chakras – especially the spiritual eye and the heart center – the more we are able to tune in to higher levels of awareness.

Yoganandaji taught that the spiritual eye is like a sending station that can project our thoughts and questions to the Divine. The heart is the receiving station and is able to draw intuitive answers. But our consciousness needs to be calm and impersonal before we can clearly send or receive thoughts clearly. This is way deep meditation is so important to the process.

Also remember that devotion and surrender to God is essential – we must want to do His will, not just develop powers.
