Subject: Intellect and Intelligence.
We spent lot of time acquiring intelligence at the expenses of developing intellect.
Intelligence is built by gaining information, knowledge from external agencies, from schools and universities, teachers and textbooks. The intellect is developed through your individual effort by exercising the faculty of questioning, thinking and reasoning. Not accepting anything that does not admit logic or reason. Know the difference between the two.

Not realizing the importance of the intellect in life, people make no attempt to develop their own. Instead, they merely indulge in acquiring intelligence through surface reading of others` periodicals and publications. Education has lost its meaning and purpose. For generation’s human being have turned into intelligence robots and are traversing through life without awareness, much less inquiring into the meaning and purpose of life.

The world today is in a state of chaos due to the perversion in human development- all intelligence and no intellect. That explains why even highly educated business-persons, professionals and scholars become alcoholics, are short-tempered and succumb to worry and anxiety. It is the mind that loses its temper. Again, it is the mind that constantly harbors worry of the past and anxiety for the future. When the intellect remains undeveloped and weak, it is unable to control the vagaries of the mind. Those having developed a powerful intellect, with or without academic distinction, can hold the mind under perfect control and direct action to spell success and peace in life.
The educational systems the world over must be held responsible for the debacle of the intellect. Only by maintaining this essential equation can governments be run, business conducted, professions practiced and families live in peace and prosperity.
Best Wishes!
