Sir, insight is not intuition. Intuition may be a refined form of desire. Don't accept what the speaker is saying, investigate it. Intuition or apprehension may be the unconscious projection, which is taken as something extraordinarily real. Right? So we are saying insight is not related to any form of desire. 'I want to understand. I must go into this.' The motive behind is desire wanting to comprehend. Right? Desire is saying, 'This, I must find this out.' So if you want to go into it very carefully, insight is not the activity of desire. Insight is not the projection of past experience. Insight is not a remembered action. That is, I am going to show you something. That is: when you see that all religious organisations, instantly, not logically, step by step, which you can do afterwards, if you see that all religious organisations are based upon thought and therefore have nothing whatsoever to do with actual, the sacredness of religion, you have an insight into it. You understand what I am saying?
