Out of a piece of iron which has not been properly treated, and therefore worth only a few , by making suitable changes, we can produce a watch which is worth 300 . You should notice here that it is the , or the change that we give to the substance, that brings the value to it and not the inherent value of the untreated material. As in this analogy, an ordinary and unsophisticated human being can, by seeking the company of elevated beings, get an opportunity of elevating himself to the position of a (Realised sage). Man’s mind aspires to get such sacred wisdom through the use of the sensory organs. In such a situation, because the mind is not able to distinguish between the good and bad, the intelligence comes forward and puts itself ahead of the mind for the purpose of distinguishing good from bad. Even the intelligence cannot, by its own accord, decide between the good and the bad; but it is able to make a judgement of everything that is put before it. In the case of a judge, we know that he will decide between right and wrong only on the basis of facts that are put before him. As in this analogy, the nature of intelligence is such that it can decide between good and bad only on the basis of facts that are put before it; and it cannot go outside the facts. Conduct and practice of is the quality of the mind; and the decision between good and bad, on the basis of facts put before it, is the quality of intelligence. But in the world today, this kind of intelligence can be classified into four different categories. These are - the first is a selfish type, the second is a selfish-selfless type, the third is a purely selfless type, and the fourth is based upon . The first category is always thinking of what is good for one’s own self and makes a decision of being good for one’s own self. It is like the intelligence of a crow. This is very common today, and we find this category in large numbers in the world.
