Real intelligence recognizes Krishna as the source and oneself as a humble instrument in His hands.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 10.4–5 — January 6, 1967, New York 670106BG-NEW YORK [30:11 Minutes] Prabhupāda: buddhir jñānam asammohaḥ kṣamā satyaṁ damaḥ śamaḥ sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhavo 'bhāvo bhayaṁ cābhayam eva ca [Bg. 10.4] [Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, self-control and calmness, pleasure and pain, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy are created by Me alone.] So we have to understand these qualifications. Intelligence. Buddhiḥ means intelligence. Jñānam means knowledge.
Asammohaḥ means freedom from illusion. Kṣamā. Kṣamā, forgiveness; satyam, truth. Damaḥ.
Damaḥ means controlling the senses, and samaḥ, to keep the mind equibalanced. Sukham means happiness; duḥkham, distress. Bhava means birth. Abhāva. Abhāva means death.
Bhayam, fear, and abhayam, fearlessness. Ahiṁsā, nonviolence; samatā, equality; tuṣṭiḥ, satisfaction; tapaḥ, penance; dānam, charity; yaśaḥ, fame; ayaśaḥ, defamation; bhavanti, all these become, bhāvāḥ... Bhāva means state of being. Bhūtānām, of all living entities; mattaḥ, from Me; eva, certainly; pṛthag-vidhāḥ, differently. Because Kṛṣṇa has declared already, aham ādir hi devānām, maharṣīṇāṁ ca sarvasya [Bg. 10.2]. [Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and the sages.] He is the original cause of everything.
Now... Then He must be the cause of all good qualification and bad qualification also. Whatever we see in this material world, we consider, "This is bad" and "This is good." We have divided that, according to our calculation. But actually there are..., they are varied manifestation of the qualities of Kṛṣṇa.
Here in the material world, those qualities, transcendental qualities, they are in Kṛṣṇa and they are in living entities. Just like we have all these qualities. Take for example buddhi. Buddhi means intelligence. And what is that intelligence?
Real intelligence? Real intelligence is to know, to understand that "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme, and I am part and parcel." It is stated here that intelligence means sukhārtha-vivecana-samatyam. Suppose one is very intelligence to drive a car. That is not... That is material intelligence for earning our bread.
