Intuition: Soul-Guidance for Life's Decisions

Sri Daya Mata has left an abundance of spiritual wisdom in her major published volumes, which are mostly transcriptions of lectures and satsangas she has presented over the decades. Her twenty years of direct training under Paramahansa Yogananda have been supplemented by another fifty years of attunement with her Beloved Divine through her own samadhi meditation. Although the material in this concise volume on intuition can be found elsewhere, it is invaluable to have Daya Ma's insights and experiences about intuition collected in one place, since intuition is the cornerstone of living the best life -- and of realizing The Best which lies behind that life.Daya Mata's insights into intuition go so much deeper than the common titles wherein someone with a few psychic gifts gives you "secret awakening tips." Here we have instead someone who has achieved *mastership*, who has lifted herself above the little ego, as one can feel from the humility with which she carries the mantle of her accomplishments. I have heard nothing but astonished praise from those who have been privileged to have a personal audience with Daya Ma, and have myself been personally and specifically blessed by her compassion and intuitive sensitivity.My own experience, in brief: Some twenty years ago, unbeknownst to friends and family, I struggled through a most trying period of my life, finding myself isolated from my usual sources of support. During that confounding December I was immeasurably uplifted to discover in my mailbox a personal Christmas card from Daya Mata, a woman with whom I had never corresponded, the incredibly busy president of an organization of 10s of thousands of members. Never before had I receive a card from her; never since: just in my time of need.In these priceless pages Daya Ma explains the beautiful simplicity of how yoga practice naturally awakens intuitive guidance in your life -- how it develops from the stillness developed in meditation and from spiritual receptivity developed by right attitude and practicing the presence. The principles she presents are bolstered by examples from her own life and from the lives of fortunate souls she continues to touch. They are a cornerstone both for spiritual growth and for effectiveness in everyday life.
