5. Create Intelligence
Many of us don't know that we can create our own intelligence. That is why we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again in an endless and helpless circuit.
How to create intelligence? First and foremost requirement is to not create guilt in our mind or our selves about our inability to follow someone's directions. The moment our mind is locked in guilt, our consciousness cannot flow freely anymore. It is blocked. We kill the intelligence.
All beings are born with intelligence. How to let the natural intelligence bloom in us? There is no substitute for experiencing the free flowing intelligence. Even a glimpse of it is enough to sow the seeds of intent in us. We need to be conscious. Let us not confuse consciousness with conscience.
Consciousness is more solid than conscience. Consciousness is natural. Conscience is learned, taught, and imposed by the society. Consciousness is our true nature. Conscience is acquired, consciousness is natural, our birthright. Conscience is a pure substitute for consciousness. Of course, we need little patience to create consciousness.
Let us not cling to anything. Vivekananda, one of the greatest modern saints, said, 'Flood your religion with reason and logic. Let whatever that is washed away by reasoning, be washed away. Do not run behind it and hold on to it. The earlier they are washed away, the better it is for humanity.'
We are so conditioned by societal conscience that we cling to it as if it was our lifeline. But, a society's rules and conscience changes with circumstances and time. What was right at one time might have no relevance today. It is time to let those rules go. It is time to remove the dead and clean the mind.
What will happen if we don't remove dead bodies from our homes? Not only will they occupy space, they will also smell rotten and invite diseases. It is dangerous to have
dead bodies at home. Here is another example. Do we use last years train timetable to schedule our travel this year?
If we live based on past rules, without understanding why the rules were created in the first place, we create a deep wound in our being. We will create guilt.
We need to let go of all the things that block our joy. It is only when our natural intelligence flowers that our inner joy will also flower.
Create and express the inherent intelligence. Enjoy the bliss and keep the life vibrant and alive.
