PLACE OF INTELLIGENCE (બુિધ્ઘ, BUDDHI) IN SADHANA

A blessed soul may be able to understand and control the mind to some extent with the help of intelligence. But intelligence is different. It is in the form of light and it illuminates. It is subtlest of the subtle. It has the natural force of understanding. We understand everything with this intelligence. Level of understanding depends upon level of intelligence. Because of this reason cleansing of the intelligence is very necessary. Intelligence continues to work according to its own understanding, habit and past experiences. It will deduce the inferences accordingly. One needs to be mindful and aware before believing these inferences. Before accepting these inferences one needs to evaluate these with carefulness and equanimity. One must analyze these inferences in detail with detachment and with one's own level of development and understanding of one's inner being. We will keep busy with ourselves if we try to develop this kind of looking at our own inner being. Attraction to other souls becomes minimal then. One can be safe and sound if ones mind is that way. So always be mindful and aware.
