Intuition by Osho

Today is my mom's 57th birthday, and I bought her the book Intuition by Osho. I read some of the first few pages of the book on Amazon and found it very profound. This is how the book starts out:


When the body functions spontaneously,
that is called instinct.
When the soul functions spontaneously,
that is called intuition.
They are alike and yet
far away from each other.
Instinct is of the body--the gross;
and intuition is of the soul--the subtle.
And between the two is the mind, the expert,
which never functions spontaneously.
Mind means knowledge.
Knowledge can never be spontaneous.
Instinct is deeper than intellect and
intuition is higher than intellect.
Both are beyond the intellect, and both are good.
