Intelligence and Stupidity

Image
We all know that it is after all thoughts which give us our identity. Our physical looks do not make us who we are, but our thoughts make us one. What we  think reflects in our daily work as it propels action and motility in the world. Thus, thoughts constitute our identity.  A stupid man is such because his thoughts are not composed while the other is regarded as intelligent only due to his control over thoughts. Thus, thoughts play a major role in titling oneself as stupid or intelligent. But, there is an astonishing factor in an intelligent man which cannot be thought of. Yes! Intelligent beings lack the factor of considering oneself as intelligent. Even judging the other as thus is absent. This is because a composed mind is inwardly focused. And if it is 'focused' then there is no question of diverting from it. In other words, an intelligent one can never be externally driven. On the other hand, a stupid man is highly foolish.

Only spirituality is the path which is opposed by the mind and the other paths or fields are the creations of the mind itself. Therefore, man must adopt spiritual discipline to attain maximum control of the mind. This is the most conducive process to kill the mind. However, it has been tough for everyone to reject the mind as it has maligned the consciousness to such an extent that existence without it may seem impossible.

An audited thought is immensely potent. Attention is the hallmark of consciousness. The more one is attentive, the more one is conscious. Attention directs life with all its potency towards the object to which it is directed. Attention begets concentration. If we become attentive towards what we think, our words and actions become refined. We find that as attention and concentration grows, there is harmony setting into our lives. Wisdom is an outcome of long periods of attention that is given to life and the thought process in general.

Effortless Clarity

We get troubled by the world owing to our own mixed-up concepts. We hold on to unnecessary things of the world and clutter our minds. Too much of holding creates tension in thought. To have clarity one must learn to let go. Letting go of our compulsions, our whims, and fancies, our stubbornness on what is right or wrong will allow us to free our mind and to take a universal unbiased perspective which is given to us by our soul. We shall then be able to embrace the universal. We shall know the Truth. Our commitment to the Truth will be the voice of our clarity. It is important not to shudder under the pressure of outward circumstances and one should rely on the inner peace which is our true nature.
