Yes. No substance. Okay. No nourishment. Good. Just surface, which looks good. Yeah. And when you stand on it, it cracks. Yeah. So all this is metaphorical, but let's come down to the simple fact. The simple fact is this. As we went through this monkey experiment, if you say, I don't want something, only that happens. To this mind, somebody tells you what is good, what is bad.
Don't think about bad things. Well, that's a full-time job right now. So, without understanding the mechanics of how human system functions, how human intelligence is formed, these things are happening. In the yogic system, we see the human mind as sixteen parts. These 16 parts can be seen as four segments. These four segments are, one is called buddhi, which literally means intellect.

Another is called ankara, which means identity. The third is called manas, which means memory. The fourth is called chitta. We'll come to that. Buddhi means intellect. It's a front end of your intelligence. Buddhi. Buddhi. Like Buddhism almost. It actually comes from that. Yeah. See, if you're above, buddhi means intellect. Dada means one who is above. One who is above his intellect is a buddha.

Yes. That's not his name. Yeah. His name is Gautama Siddhartha. Oh, gosh. He became a Buddha. That means he went above his intellect. That is, your intellect is normally cutting the world into pieces. Whatever you look at, it wants to dissect. So he went above that and looked at the world the way it is. So he's a Buddha. So he's a Buddha. So he's not the only Buddha.

There have been thousands of Buddhas and still are. But the fact is that you go above your intellect. Yes. So buddhi is the front end of your intelligence or your mind. It is a cutting edge. It is very, very needed to be in function for you to be surviving in this world.

You have to make... When you came here, you have to discriminate and decide whether to sit in that chair or this chair. Otherwise, you'll go and sit on this. Yes. So, intellect is very vital for your survival. When you're in the survival mode, it is most important. But a cutting instrument doesn't give you a full picture of anything.

For example, all the information that intellect has, the data it's collected is from the five senses essentially. What you see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Right now, can you see my hand? Yes. You see this part, but you don't see this part. If you see this part, you can't see this part. It's not just the hand. Even if you take a grain of sand, if you see one side, you can't see the other side.

This is the nature of our senses. They give all half information. All the information that you are gathering today in the form of information is all half. Because human senses perceive like this. Now with all these half pieces, you make a picture and you think that is it. So what happens with intellect is, suppose I give you a million piece jigsaw.
