Intuitive Intelligence

In whose light is your heart beating? What intelligence is running this world? How does a plant know which leaf to grow next? How do the birds know where to fly? Are they thinking? Not us. Have you found a bird ever thinking like, 'Oh, let me think'? And in the first years of its life alone, it knew where to fly when the season was changing, in which direction to go, which was hundreds of miles away. And it goes exactly to that beach where it is supposed to land. Exactly to that beach. No compass, no map, no calendar saying 'season is changing, date is coming,' you see? No nothing. But intuitive intelligence.

How does it go hundreds of miles alone to the beach where all these birds land? What intelligence is that? How does the plant know the next mango I'm going to grow is going to be these many grams so that the branch does not fall? What is that intelligence which is making all of this unique beauty all around us? And what is it that we take about ourselves which is so special that this intelligence we neglect and we go to selfishness and ignorance?

And why is it that those who let go of this remain in the Unborn, remain in the no-mind? Why is it that we put up their photographs all over these places? Why do we call them Guru? Why do we read their books hundreds of years later? Thousands of years, we're still reading the Upanishads from thousands of years ago. There's no scientific book that we are reading from thousands of years. There's no book on philosophy that we're reading from thousands of years. What is it about this intuitive knowledge which is timeless?
