Intellectuality versus Spirituality

On why high intellect is a curse by itself!

The intellect allows one to perceive with great clarity a whole lot of complexity. This is the very purpose of the gift!

It is one of the key intelligences – the one around “analytics” and “articulation”

Last few centuries of education, due to the design of the industrial era, has emphasized this aspect of human capability at the expense of other capabilities


All “progress”, i.e. conquest of nature, thus far has been due to this intellect.

Inevitably, the “linear thinking”, seemed to be winning for many decades!

…till its very success forged a closer inter-linkage between hereto distinct communities!

Like, an inevitable law of the universe, the cause of growth becomes the seed of Death!

Hence in this technology centric world of today,
right in the midst of the miracle of the Internet, is a growing search, restlessness for a deeper quiet, a resting place, a Home!

A search for the one thing available in abundance – Love!

The land of Divine!
