KNOWLEDGE VS INTELLIGENCE

KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is nothing but acquiring skills and information. If you are so happy that you can prove and remain as a store house of information, then there is no worth in being human. These mere gathering ability will yield nothing in return. It is really amazing that we are so curious to know as many things as possible but how far are we determined to apply those things in our real life. Now a days we have people who can produce minute data on so many things. They can provide data on economy, politics, education, spirituality, science, technology, environment, habits, habitats, books etc. Knowing in abundance is not a sin but not knowing how to use them is a sin. It is a general notion that many people know about so many skills like swimming, shooting, singing, drawing, teaching, marketing etc. If they cant' themselves apply these things what is the use of possessing more knowledge on these skills.

INTELLIGENCE
We can't just judge that the person possessing more knowledge is a fool. He can prove his intelligence when he applies those knowledge either by himself or makes others to apply it. A person knowing the skills of any sport can mend the other skilled person and aid him in attaining perfection. Possessing more knowledge is bad unless it is utilized. If you have the ability to apply your knowledge then you prove that you are intelligent. Knowledge will just keep you passive whereas intelligence will always keep you active. So don't remain as a mere container but be a dynamic explorer.

SCHOOLING
Schools are taken for granted to stuff information into the brain of the learners. Schooling is not only meant for gathering information but learning to apply them in our day to day life. Learning is a life time process so don't use your brain for collecting data but for processing data. Read fictions, essays, research articles, novels, biographies or any book that can feed your hungry mind. Don't confine yourself to text books. Text books will teach you many things but other books will induce you to be creative and practical in solving complications.

SELF INTEREST
Self interest will take you to the pinnacle of success because no external force can influence the rigid mind. Have the passion to learn, have the passion to read, have the passion to apply what you learn only then success will knock at your door steps. You can taste real success when you really do things on your own. Prove not that you know many things but prove that you can do so many things.

FANATICISM

GOD
"God created man; man created Gods"
People claim that certain form of worship alone is supreme and other forms are mean. Some even claim that the man made gods are all powerful. God is the supreme being of the universe. If you know the fact that man is just one of the tiniest particles in the cosmos which tires to know Him fully. That tiniest mortal particle tries to know the immortal being and the supreme being. The poor mortal being is not aware that it can know Him partly but not fully.

AIM OF OUR LIFE
The main objective of our existence on the earth is to live in harmony with the fellow human beings and love nature. Do we really do this is an unanswered question, because we are so busy not in fulfilling the objective of our existence but in proving that something is better than other things. We try to prove that one religion/caste/language etc is superior to any other religion/caste/language etc.

FANATICISM
 Fanatics claim that Hinduism belongs to India others religions are imported by foreigners!!! but Thathacharya clearly states in his book 'Indhumadham Enge pogirathu'*  that there was no such religion called Hinduism in India. Indians had only ancestor worship and there were hundreds of such gods. People of India were denoted as "People of Zindoo" Valley. Indians worshiped 'Indiran' but most of you know that he had been linked to a myth and cleverly excluded from the three Aryan introduced gods.

Certain Fanatic groups claim that they want implicit religious regularity and impose things on the people who don't want to be carried away by this uninteresting imposes. Republic India gives freedom to practice any religion. The same book* clearly states that what ever Hindu rituals are followed in India are not Indian. They were imposed on the native people of India by the Aryans. In this context how can these fanatics dare to say that other religions are not Indian. None of the religions followed in India are hallmarks of India. So let all exist side by side without any discrimination.

LOVE PEACE
Love peace not violence. Don't impose things on others. Let each and every citizen of India breathe the air of FREEDOM. Like the old moral story briefs the FIVE BLIND PERSONS seeing an elephant. We perceive things in our individual perspective. Inability to think on their own is the main cause of being fanatics. Such people are carried away by the whims and fancies of someone else.

LIVE IN SOLIDARITY
No religion ever asks you to harm other fellow beings but it just asks you and me to live in fellowship. DON'T LIVE FOR THE SAKE OF ANY RELIGION BUT BE A REAL RELIGIOUS. Don't impose things on others but live in a such way that your life attracts others towards perfection, moral values if it can towards your religion.
