The gaurdian.

The word intelligence is synonymous in doing something which the majority would generally be not capable to do so. There has been a time in my life when i believed solving mathematic problems or the ability to solve them efficiently is a manifestation of intelligence , as time passed the subject changed but not the idea it moved onto physics .. but there has been a growth or a decline which i now don't like to ponder over and that is me growing beyond such petty intelligence measuring metrics.
What is the weapon of a tiger? or an elephant and compared to them what does man have ? .. Only when the tiger runs and hunts one sees the strength it has and an elephant in its exhibition of its raw power but for a man, many identify it with brain ..since brain is a very biological necessity ..most of us believe we all have that weapon, but intelligence is wat makes the difference ..Every brainy creature on the earth is not intelligent.
But what is intelligence? the discriminating power between the useful and the not useful, very childishly good or bad. Assuming this definition is having intelligence or the sheer discriminating power which is achieved through knowledge, through the study of surroundings everything one should try to achieve?. What is the limit wherein after intelligence fails?
It depends on whether one sees himself different from intelligence or identifies with it.. This intellect is often confused as the integral you(I am intellect) ,but what does the intellect really do ? We say a snake's weapon is the power of poisoning, show is it integral with snake ,should the snake identify itself with the poison in the way as we do i can bite so many people i can produce a lot of poison iam a success . Is that the way fpr a snake to think? It is simple to see that for a snake when it thinks like that it is only maximizing it's survival time. the will to live, the will to live is higher motive to which the poison or the biting power serve to . Does intelligence serves to anything else other then this.? the will to live.

A sloka in gita is a good remembrance

krodhàdbhavati saümohaþ saümohàt smçtivibhramaþ |
smçtibhraü÷àd buddhinà÷o buddhinà÷àt praõa÷yati ||

From anger comes delusion, from delusion the loss of memory; from loss of memory the destruction of discrimination; from destruction of discrimination he perishes. Gita Ch. II-63.

Everybody who reads or explains this sloka concentrate more on the anger part and give the very impossible alternative of asking people not to be angry or curb their feelings inside and look peaceful outside ..but if we see the last line "from destruction of discrimination he perishes" so what is really needed is intelligence should never be left , the discriminating power should ever be there. Intelligence is to developed through knowledge .Hence in any activity knowledge is a necessity .

If our body is a house. All the servants in them are are our qualities moving around , the one who guards the door is the intelligence the one which saves the entity from perishing. How strong the door keeper is depends on how we train it to be.

So i come to the conclusion where knowledge is limited to the footstep of my house. Is that the limit for intelligence and knowledge? .It is yes . Inside the house the master remains oblivious of all these , once he starts identifying himself with one of these servants the only thing remains is misery and a weak body which rests on something for its identity .The strongest identity is not having identity .Guess why we pray to that nameless ,formless, attribute less .. identity .. GOD.

Now logicians may question the assumption about my comparison of body with house? but iam no linguistic hotshot to put everything logically pleasing to the intelligence , which infact is what iam talking about.

Intelligence is very important and at the same time not at all useful.
