"...Intelligence is not discernment and judgment or critical evaluation. Intelligence is the seeing of what is."

On love and Loneliness


"...is it not the way of intelligence to look beyond the accepted meanings of words? Words like duty, responsibility, God, love, have acquired a traditional meaning; but an intelligent person, a truly educated person, looks beyond the traditional meaning of such words."

On Love and Loneliness, p.101


"It is not the silence cultivated by thought. It is the silence of intelligence, silence of supreme intelligence. In that silence comes that which are not touched by thought, by endeavor, by effort. It is the way of intelligence which is the way of compassion. Then that which is sacred is everlasting. That is meditation. Such a life is religious life. In that there is great beauty."

"Intelligence is not a cumulative result, but freedom from progressive achievement and success. Intelligence is never static; it cannot be copied and standardized, and hence cannot be taught. Intelligence is to be discovered in freedom."
