What is the difference between mind and intelligence?
Let’s see how the mind and the intelligence fixed in knowledge respond when a beautiful object that is actually harmful appears in front. The mind says, “I want this, I want to enjoy this.” But the intelligence fixed in knowledge says, “No. This is illusion. Enjoying this is like licking the honey on the edge of a razor blade. You might enjoy little, but then you will suffer.” But the intelligence not fixed in knowledge would figure out all kinds of strategic, decisive plans to somehow or other get that object of enjoyment.
If the mind is controlled by the intelligence in knowledge, it is the best of friends. But if the mind is not controlled by the intelligence in knowledge, and it controls the intelligence, the mind is your worst enemy. Yoga means to control the mind by God conscious intelligence. We develop God conscious intelligence through study of the scriptures which tells us what is good for our spiritual progress and what is not, even though the object may appear otherwise.
