To keep your intellect pure and favorable you need the right kind of intelligence.
Although these two terms are used interchangeably Intellect is not identical to Intelligence. Both are related to the brain and thinking process, but their actual meanings have differences.
Intellect is the inborn faculty of the mind of understanding and reasoning objectively. It is the capacity of the mind based on facts and responsible for making decisions.
Intelligence is ‘the ability to think, reason, and understand instead of doing things by instinct’. Intelligence includes the ability to learn any new skill, learn from experiences, or gaining knowledge, etc. It is the knowledge-based ability of the mind, subjective and related to feelings.
Your intellect may choose the most favorable option from the flow of thoughts and decide upon action to be taken, but if the mind is uncontrolled, it can cloud the intellect and take decisions by emotions rather than logic.
With the right intelligence, your intellect can potentially clarify the mind and control it.
Our mind can be referred to as a jumping monkey, it can instantly move from one thought to another, and it can create scenarios that are not even realistic and bring fear or pleasant feelings based on the thoughts we feed to our mind. Trust me, our mind is quite capable of creating stories that don’t even exist.
So, here comes the role of the right intelligence.
Our senses feed the mind and based on our experience and what we perceive with our senses, our intelligence allows us to discriminate between good and bad, right, and wrong. What is the path to be taken and what will be the results of our actions?
Intellect is about understanding things based on reasoning, looking for facts, and making decisions, whereas intelligence is about our ability to acquire skills and knowledge and how to use them.
Right intelligence is all about how you use your intellect for your highest good.
A criminal can be very intelligent but is he/she capable of using their intellect in the right direction?
So, what is right intelligence?
In my opinion, right intelligence is based on morality and clarity of mind where you relate to your values and virtues in the flow of your life. Clarity of mind comes from awareness and wisdom. Positive thoughts keep you on track and mindfulness brings you to the present moment.
When you live your life with the right intelligence, your intellect gets purified, and it generates ideas to bring happiness to you and the people around you. Once you are in a happy state of mind abundance starts following you and this is the fundamental of the “Law of Attraction”.
Life may be complicated. But a pure intellect is simple. It is truthful and straightforward. It is intelligent and sensitive and reacts to circumstances in a positive manner and is not bound by old conditioning. It responds from inner conviction and positive thinking. The pure intellect has no time to indulge in falsehood or in deceptions.
