Created page with "A person who is ill seeks health because illness is not the condition in which one can fully enjoy life. Śrīla Prabhupāda uses that familiar experience to explain material existence: the soul is eternal and naturally joyful, but bodily identification and separation from service to Kṛṣṇa obscure its healthy condition. The distinction between the changing body and the enduring soul is expressed in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' 2.20. Understandi..." current

In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' 2.41, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that spiritual purpose gives intelligence steadiness and direction. These teachings describe how intelligence can be misused in material life, purified through devotional service, and guided by Kṛṣṇa toward liberation. <div class="vani-ar..." current

Śrīla Prabhupāda calls this over-intelligence: the tendency to depend on one’s own mind rather than humbly receive Kṛṣṇa’s instruction through the bona fide spiritual master. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' 4.34, spiritual knowledge is received through submission, inquiry, and service...." current

Śrīla Prabhupāda gives a spiritual definition: the truly intelligent person knows the Supreme Truth, understands the actual aim of human life, and takes shelter of Kṛṣṇa. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' 7.19, the person who has become genuinely wise recognizes Vāsudeva as everything and surrenders unto Him. First-class intelligence is there..." current

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that its perfection is not found in multiplying material facilities, but in understanding the self, the Supreme Lord, and the path of liberation. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' 7.15, those whose intelligence is misused are described as ''duṣkṛtina'', persons whose ability has been turned away from Kṛṣṇa. The real question, therefore, is not whether a civilization is..." current
