I happen to watch a random video of sadghuru and these are the lines spoken by him.
MEMORY IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR INTELLIGENCE. THE ABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MEMORY AND INTELLIGENCE IS TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT. THE PERSON WHO PERCEIVES MEMORY AS INTELLIGENCE, HE IS MESSED UP.
That hit me. That truly hit me and helped to get together my abstract thoughts I had on that topic for long time.
Memory is often mistaken for Intelligence. When a person perceive s memory as intelligence then he is messed up. When a person can put aside his memory and you show something to him, he can see that for what it is. He is seen as enlightened person because he can see things for what they are.
A person who reads few books can become a scholar and our whole education system runs on this mistake that memory is intelligence. Our education is totally messed up.
Never try to see things with your memory, on the basis of what u have learnt and remembered. Instead try to see them for what they are and it will help you differentiate between memory and true intelligence.
