It is clearly written in Gitaji that when your intellect goes beyond the mud of Moha (infatuation) then you will go beyond knowledge gained by listening and knowledge worth listening, meaning you will receive real knowledge about Atma (Aatm-Gnani).
We will have to accept that our intellect has Jiva-Nature since it is still in Jiva-Dasha. It is not completely affected by the love-interest-sentiments of Holy Spirit. It is still affected by the element of Jiva-Nature. Presently it is filled with past impressions and is under its influence and covered with it. So we need to develop our independent vision beyond whatever our intellect comprehends. This is not possible without developing Tatasthata, Samata, peace and happiness. We accept that intellect has been very useful to us in dealing with the activities within the realms of Jiva-Nature. The same intellect opposes us when it is a matter concerning it or matters beyond the mind. We tend to forget that, how can intellect that is bound by Jiva-Dasha, give appropriate opinion regarding the matters beyond Jiva-Dasha? Know for sure that the light of the Atma will never shine in the intellect without complete expression of purity and Samata in it. So, we should be careful and never give in to possible explanations and arguments of intellect. We need to keep in mind that our intellect becomes easy, straight forward and inspired by Shree Prabhu.
