Spirituality first addresses the emotional aspect of the mind’s crisis
"Spirituality first addresses the emotional aspect
of the mind’s crisis. But soon it goes deeper and
enfolds the intelligence, whose wont is ever to seek
enlightenment.
Once the intelligence is illumined, the mind’s
turmoil subsides. This much-needed alliance
between the mind and the intelligence does not
usually take place. Intelligence, if at all, comes to
play later and until then the mind rules the scene." Now accepting that we are all spiritual, and the mind, intelligence,
and ego are expressions of our spiritual content. The first quality
is ‘intelligence’.
All of you are intelligent.The second quality is ‘integrity’. It is much more than mere truthfulness or honesty. Integrity implies a high level of trustworthiness. Integrity is to be cultivated as a quality.The dimension and growth are in the mind. You have to spin and weave all the qualities and enrichments from your present mind, intelligence, and ego. And this can be had by a two-fold process: the mind-process and the intelligence-process.
Let the intelligence and the mind be sufficiently harmonized and integrated so that the intelligence will help the mind receive, assimilate, and express more and more.You have come here to gain knowledge. After receiving it well, you must reflect upon, ruminate over, analyze, and finally make it your own.
That is called assimilation. Once assimilated, you will find it begins to express itself. So, by cultivating intelligence, integrity, and industry, you can always become excellent. There is no doubt! Excellence will verily become your own quality. It is not that we are trying to achieve excellence in some output. On the other hand, we should embody and express ‘excellentiality’ as a quality of ours. The quality belongs to the mind, intelligence, and ego - the three instruments safely present within our spiritual being. Love excellence wholeheartedly and soon you will be a pursuer and promoter of excellence!
