Instinct, Intellect, Intuition

A few thoughts on the place of the instinct, intellect and intuition in yoga. If we stay with the definitions given in the Perennial Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita we find something interesting. Instinct is that gut feeling that we have about something. Intellect is our reasoning ability, our ability to decide on something. That's my final decision, like in who wants to be a millionaire. Intuition is a spiritual thing and what we aspire to develop even though we may not be able to acknowledge it. The goal of human life is happiness and true happiness is living from our intuition, and meditation is a way to develop it.
