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.

You got five pieces together and you say, wow, it's a bear. But there are a million pieces, you got only five. So all the information that you have, all the libraries on the planet, if we grind it and put it in your head, still what you know is a minuscule in this universe. Yes or no? Yeah. It's just a minuscule. With this minuscule, you're always making conclusions.

So the important thing to understand is intellect is a front-end defender. It's a knife, a sword in your hand. You need to use it discreetly in such a way that you don't go on slaughtering people. You can kill people with your intellect, you know. Human intelligence is killing people, isn't it? Yeah, all the time, always has. Yes. So this is the front-end.

But now the knife by itself is not dangerous or useful or anything. It depends the hand which holds it, which makes it what it is. So the next one is called ahankara. The word ahankara literally means identity. Ahankara, the sense of identity. Yeah. So right now... If you think I'm this, whatever is your identity, let's say you think I'm American.

Now you're willing to live for America, die for America, fight for America, do whatever for America. Or your identity is something else. It's racial or it's religious or it is something else, gender, whatever. What you're identified with, your intellect will do everything possible to protect that identity. This is the only way the mind works.

See, right now, your brain cells, my brain cells may not be very different, but you think I'm American. So your intelligence will do everything for America. Suppose I think I'm something else. My intelligence or my intellect will work only for that because it functions from the data that you have gathered. The data is in memory.

See, the third dimension of the mind is called manas, which is a silo of memory. Here there are eight types of memory. There is elemental memory. There is evolutionary memory. There is genetic memory, conscious and unconscious levels of memory, articulate and inarticulate levels of memory. There are eight different types of memories. So you are, this memory is what is firing your intellect.
