To cultivate intelligence, one must be willing to embrace uncertainty from "summary" of The Awakening of Intelligence by J. KRISHNAMURTI
Intelligence is not merely the accumulation of knowledge or the capacity to analyze and draw conclusions. True intelligence goes beyond the known, beyond the boundaries of the familiar. It is the ability to explore the unknown, to question the unquestioned, to embrace uncertainty. Uncertainty is the very essence of intelligence because it challenges our preconceived notions and forces us to look at things from a fresh perspective. When we are willing to acknowledge our limitations and accept that we do not have all the answers, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and insights. To cultivate intelligence means to be open to the mystery of life, to be curious and inquisitive about the world around us. It requires a willingness to step into the unknown, to venture into uncharted territory without the safety net of certainty. When we resist uncertainty, when we cling to our beliefs and opinions as if they were absolute truths, we close ourselves off from the endless possibilities that lie beyond our limited understanding. True intelligence is not afraid of ambiguity or doubt; it thrives in the midst of uncertainty, constantly seeking to expand our awareness and deepen our understanding. By embracing uncertainty, we liberate ourselves from the shackles of ignorance and dogma. We free our minds to explore new ideas, to question old assumptions, and to discover the limitless potential of our own intelligence. In this way, uncertainty becomes not a source of fear or anxiety, but a gateway to growth and transformation.
