Insight (洞察力): Intelligence goes beyond the intellect

超越智力的能力 by Sadhguru (薩古魯)

Notes:

Why we are trying to learn is because we know however we have done our activities till now, we can do them better now.

So the word “insight” itself means that you can see better

Once you are in the position of a leader, you are expected to see better, because leadership means that in some way, either you climb onto your perch, or somebody places you there.

We don’t know how you get there.

One way or another, you get there onto a higher perch.

Once you are on a higher perch, you’re expected to see better.

And if you’re on higher perch, and don’t see ant better than people around, you will become an object of ridicule (笑柄).

Insight is not a concretized amount of knowledge, instead, it’s a certain level of perception that whatever happens you’re able to see something better than other people around you.

Insight doesn’t mean that you have some knowledge about something which others don’t have right now.

People may not have the knowledge right now, but tomorrow they may have it and they may have better than you.

But the important thing is to sharpen our faculties (能力) in such a way that we are always able to see things better and we are always able to see what is there.

If all the other things were around you, became more, such as your money, your wealth, your power, and your knowledge all became more, but you did not become more and better, you would see a vaccum (空虛) in your life which would make you suffer immensely.

So before things rise, this one must rise in some way.

A whole lot of people don’t become better with their wealth.

A whole lot of people don’t become better with their power.

A whole lot of people don’t become better with knowledge.

They become worse than they were, simply because they did not stay ahead of the other things which are growing around them.

A whole lot of people become better when they fail.

Unfortunately, I want you to become better with success, not better with failure.

Anywhere you go, I hear in business schools around the world.

What have you learned from your failure?

I don’t want you to learn anything from your failure.

The First thing is that I don’t want you to fail.

Is there such a possibility?

I said, why not?

Why can’t one move from success to success?

Why does one believe only with failure and only when you are humbled or humiliated that you will learn? No.

When everything is going great, you must learn. Yes?

If this has to happen, whatever amount of attention and energy we are putting behind what’s around us, we need to put a similar amount of energy and attention into what is within us.

I am seeing a whole lot of people suffering from their success much more than that from their failure.

Successful people are carrying grave long faces, while those who have failed, once they came to terms with their failure, they just take a walk on the beach and they are quite happy.

Because they think if they are joyful, they can’t do important things.

Because they think if they are joyful, they can’t carry responsibility.

What is your experience if you’re doubtful about this, there is substantial medical and scientific evidence today that indicates that when you’re in the state of the pleasantness of experience, your body and your brain will work at their best.

How successful you are, or the activities that you perform in the world, is essentially determined by how well you can harness (利用) your body and your brain right now.

We want to look at possibilities where you will be capable of accessing intelligence (智能) beyond(超越) your intellect (智力).

This is a living cosmos.

You can just look at anything.

Look at a leaf, a flower, or an ant, otherwise, in the next few days, if you miss (錯過) all this, you may see an elephant.

If you pay attention to anything, everything smacks of extraordinary intelligence, isn’t it? Yes or no?

If there is no intelligence in the air, in the soil, and in space, do you think all of this will happen?

The question is only about that whether you have the access or not?

Herefore, we would like to see that, as you all focus on the business issues, I also want you to focus on what’s within so that this gets equipped to access to intelligence beyond intellect, and intelligence which will make life into your play (遊戲), any challenge of life into your play.

Right now, you think “on” is stressful and “off” is relaxing, but no.

People have misunderstood a few fundamentals.

I want you to be very intensely “on”, and at the same time, very relaxed.

Intention (意圖) and laxity (散漫), you will not know life.

In intensity and relaxation, everything functions at its best.

It’s my wish and my blessing that these 4 days should be life-transforming for you, not just for your business.

Thank you very much.
