The skill of intelligence is to put knowledge in its right place. Without knowledge, it is not possible to live in this technological and almost mechanical civilisation, but knowledge will not transform the human being and society. Knowledge is not the excellence of intelligence; intelligence can and does use knowledge and thus transforms man and society. Intelligence is not the mere cultivation of the intellect and its integrity. It comes out of the understanding of the whole consciousness of man, yourself, not a part, a separate segment of yourself. The study and the understanding of the movement of your own mind and heart give birth to this intelligence.
