Is your Mind-Intellect your only Source of Intelligence?
True intelligence lies not in the mind-intellect but in the aware presence of Being itself, from which Satsang speaks to the Heart, not another mind.
Is your mind-intellect your only source of intelligence? Let me put it another way, from which intelligence do you know that you are aware? That you exist? Is that intelligence only, is it restricted to only that? In it, is it not the guiding light or possibly a guiding light to your entire life? Even though what may happen is, you go to that intelligence and you see there’s nothing to be guided, but suppose there was. Is that intelligence restricted, saying, ‘No, no, I am aware I am Being. I can’t help you with anything else. So, for the rest you go to your mind’, is it like that, is it saying that? Let’s look and see. [Pause] How is it that the words of Satsang smell different from the words of our mind? Aren’t they the words of your Heart, of your intuitive insight? If your mind was the only source of intelligence, there would be no room for Satsang. You are not coming here to hear another mind, hopefully at least.
