Intelligence is the ability to see the interconnectedness of all things from "summary" of The Awakening of Intelligence by J. KRISHNAMURTI
Intelligence, as we commonly understand it, is the capacity to think logically, to analyze, to calculate. But is that all there is to intelligence? Is it merely the ability to solve problems, to compete, to achieve a certain level of success in the world? Or is there something more profound, more fundamental to intelligence?What if intelligence is actually the ability to perceive the interconnectedness of all things? What if it is the capacity to see beyond the surface of reality, to grasp the deeper, underlying unity that binds everything together? This requires a different kind of perception, a different way of looking at the world. When we begin to see the interconnectedness of all things, we realize that we are not separate from the world around us. We are not isolated individuals, struggling to survive in a hostile and indifferent universe. Instead, we are intimately connected to everything and everyone else, part of a vast and intricate web of relationships that transcends time and space. This realization brings with it a profound sense of responsibility. If we are truly interconnected with all things, then our actions have far-reaching consequences, not just for ourselves but for the entire web of life. We cannot harm another without harming ourselves, nor can we benefit ourselves without benefiting others. To see the interconnectedness of all things is to see the world in a new light, to recognize the inherent beauty and order that underlies the apparent chaos and confusion of everyday life. It is to realize that we are not separate observers of reality, but active participants in its ongoing creation. This kind of intelligence goes beyond mere cleverness or cunning. It is a deep and profound wisdom that comes from a direct experience of the interconnectedness of all things. It is a way of seeing that transcends the limitations of the rational mind, opening up new possibilities and new ways of being in the world.
