Intelligence is not a mundane attribute but it deals with the space of consciousness. A very simple way to understand the degree of intelligence is this- The more you are connected with the super conscious, or spirit, you are connected to true intelligence. In other words, mundane activities and their results, success and failure cannot be the products of intelligence. So, we must understand that intelligence does not sprout from the brain but from the conscience which is the soul of the brain and many other vital functions. Intelligence is what makes us. It is consciousness that is intelligence! So, without intelligence present as consciousness, no activity or even thought can be carried out. However, in our daily lives, we may/ may not be conscious of the consciousness within us. So, we mistake the brain and not its source as the benefactor of intelligence. However, when man knows that it is not the success of materialism that is intelligence, he then becomes truly intelligent...

Self indulgence means exploring the possibilities to destruction. When one engages seeking pleasure he enters the dimensions of madness, which destroys the intellect. Mind, as it is a product of matter gets corroded when undergoing through the different platforms of self indulgence. In fact, it is the mind which drives a person to seek, but it itself faces the consequences when the senses retire. With age, you no longer are enthusiastic to engage in self-indulging activities and with time you are overpowered by the deep sense of remorse. The time you begin to decay, you settle in a self regretting mood. You undergo the partial experiences/ side effects of your bad activities. You realize that the activities never gave you pleasure, and was just an obsession. You realize that it was not the feeling of 'freedom' you felt, after self indulgence. In fact, it is the state of the fish half out of water. You realize how brutally you wasted your life energy and time in the wrong p...

Profit and loss are the priorities of people with low consciousness.  Let us understand this is depth. We all have the spark of supreme consciousness. But, due to the conditioning of the mind, it is buried deep within ourselves. Nobody can be categorized on the basis profession, beliefs, sect, etc. Because we all are humans and have consciousness. But, we differ from each other because each of us have evolved through different stages of life. Not in terms of aging, but this refers to the evolution of the mind. We are not the body, but what we are presently identified with is our mind. We find some people attached to money while some donate generously. The ones who are attached to matter have not evolved enough to awaken the super consciousness or intelligence. Because, their minds are clutched to matter. They are incapable of conceiving higher energies as their minds are piled up with matter. Only when we learn to let go and release our energy from dead matter can we progress...

Living is a survival instinct. Whatever we do in order to survive falls under this category.  For instance: Attending office to earn our bread. Throughout our life, we try satisfying our insecurity of survival. Even animals do the same. Then how are we humans different from animals, in any way? Humans are gifted with Intelligence. This separates us from animals. However, we have not used this weapon at all. Intelligence does not relate to the so-called intelligent people. In this world, we have incorrectly interpreted  all definitions. Intelligence in today's world is 'to perform better than the other'. This conclusion of the world, revolves around living or survival. If this is the definition of intelligence then even animals who are better hunters than the other, are intelligent! Thus, true intelligence can never be used or defined by the material world. Intelligence is the language of the divine. This drives us to pursue the life beyond living, our true life. ...

Normally in the world, a female if first qualified as someone's daughter, then progressively identified as someone's wife and then gets promoted as someone's mother. In an earlier stanza in the Manas (Ramcharitamanas), Goswami Tulsidas follows this pattern while qualifying Mother Parvati. Jæ Jæ girbaå räj kisoré Jæ maheñ mukù chand chakori Jæ gajbadaì çaòäëaë mätä (Mänas: Bälakänòa Verse:234-235) "You are the Mountain Himalayas' daughter. You are the moon-brilliance (wife) of Lord Shankar's resplendent face and You are the mother of the divine siblings Lord Kartikeya and Lord Ganapathy. However, when Goswamiji went on to describe Srimati Sitadevi, he did not observe this decorum of description. We come to gather that Goswamiji deliberately broke the decorum to drive home a highly insightful thought. While surrendering to the feet of Kishoriji (Seeta Devi) (Srimati Sitadevi), Goswami Tulsidas says "Jäsu krupäì nirmal mati pävauì|...

Life presents itself in variegated hues. It means different for different people and there is no similarity whatsoever in the many perceptions that people have about their own views and experience of life. Although, one may seem to agree with others' views of life and even appreciate other's life, there still appears to be no similarity between two experiences of life from two different standpoints. Having said that, one is continuously trying to learn, enrich and organize one's life by trying to make sense of the other's life.This is indeed an intriguing paradox although common sense tells us that each one of the seven billion people breathing the same air on the planet has seven billion distinct life-experiences. There never was and there can never be any similarity even amongst two lives, to keep it to the minimum.  A man has an in-built appetite to learn and grow although he has not really figured out a consistent mechanism for the learning process itself.
