Real Intelligence

Again, very prominent question “What is real Intelligence?” Very interestingly, people answer this question. Some says it is all about mugging up syllabus books, the more you mug up the more you are intelligent. Some says that real intelligence is nothing but earning more money. Some may say real intelligence is how efficiently you make others fool.

This is obvious, because no where it is taught that what is real intelligence. Actually, this is the fault of our education systems. It teaches us how to make good money. Earlier, our Indian education system was very good rather we should say it was perfect. There was great focus on development of personality, moral values, and spiritual knowledge. This education system has spoiled our foundation. Now we are creating more clerks, engineer, and manager with our advance technical education. Our education focus on how to be money minded. Just think, is it not funny to serve too hard just to satisfy our greed, our senses and never ending wishes. 

The real intelligence is knowing ourselves, our body and soul, our consciousness, Supreme lord, our relationship with him. These all are the basis of life. We all are serving others in some or the other ways. Whether, you are a worker or manager, engineer of businessman, actor or politician, writer or dancer, you have to serve someone. This is the rule of this immortal world. This is our actual condition. We all are servant. This we have to accept. Now just think, why no one is happy? We ourselves choose our area of work. Still, we are not happy. The reason is, we are not service our actual owner i.e. Lord Krishna. To know him and serve him is real happiness. And that is the real intelligence.

KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS: A NEW REVOLUTION - A NEW LIFE

Often we think of getting into new revolution. To some people, daily morning, when they get up, they say to themselves that from today or tomorrow they will change their lifestyle.   No one is happy with their routine life. They all want some change. Why it is so? It is because; we usually fed up with materialistic things, belonging, work, job and life routine. This is the normal state of materialism. It gives us temporary happiness after which we feel bored with such things. Again we search for new things for our happiness and again it result in temporary happiness. This goes on continuously. At one point of life, everyone conclude that nothing is permanent. But generally it takes much of our time to come to such conclusion. It is always better to start searching early that what is permanent? and where is the true and never-ending happiness?  This is the thing we have to understand with deep heart. This is the utmost important question of life. From our scriptures we come to that that first, our soul is permanent. Second, our soul’s state of sat-chit-anand (always happy and blissful) is permanent. And finally, our relationship with Supreme lord is permanent.

Some may find it superstitious. But this is the only truth. You do one experiment. You read a book daily same page, same sentences, and same paragraphs. Ready it for one day then next day and third day..forth day..and so on. Hardly after a week, you will through the book off as you will become bored with such stuff. You may extend your area of experiment to anything. You will experience the same. Now do the experiment with holy name of god. You chant or sing it for one day then next day..forth day..and so on. The more you will chant and sing, the more you will enjoy. You will feel happy from inside. This is the absolute nature of holy name. And this is Krishna Consciousness.

Krishna Consciousness teaches us how to implement our life in service of supreme lord. This is the utmost objective of our life. And very good thing is, it’s very simple to implement. The only qualification needed is the feeling of surrenderness in the lotus feet of supreme personality of godhead Lord Krishna. This is new revolution..Hare Krishna Movement and this is the start of new life.

Hare Krishna..!!
