Intelligence is to see something very clearly and act instantly

Intelligence is to see something very clearly and act instantly  September 18, 1976 As teachers, how shall we awaken this intelligence not only in the student but in ourselves? When a student is jealous and beginning to hate another, how do you go into it? Do you know what it means to listen? In talking to the student there must be a watchful care not to burden him with my problems. Fear is a tremendous danger because when you are frightened you are paralysed.

To act instantly is to see actually ‘what is’

Your mind is my mind, your sorrow is my sorrow. There is no division in sorrow, there is no division in love. Can you put away from your mind the idea that you have to learn to be aware? Q: When have you experienced joy? Q: What does it take to snap from adaptive conditional behaviour to spontaneity? Q: If you throw a stone into the water, do the ripples stop? Q: What’s wrong with identifying with the Godself? Q: Is the speaker aware of the contradiction between his words, his message and his life, what he is doing, the medium of his message? Q: How do I go about being aware of myself? Note: a total of 3 minutes of missing video is replaced by audio only.
