So, we have to understand these qualifications. Intelligence. Buddhiḥ means intelligence. Jñānam means knowledge. Asammohaḥ means freedom from illusion. Kṣamā. Kṣamā, forgiveness; satyam, truth. Damaḥ. Damaḥ means controlling the senses, and samaḥ, to keep the mind equibalanced. Sukham means happiness; duḥkham, distress. Bhava means birth.

Abhāva. Abhāva means death. Bhayam, fear, and abhayam, fearlessness. Ahiṁsā, nonviolence; samatā, equality; tuṣṭiḥ, satisfaction; tapaḥ, penance; dānam, charity; yaśaḥ, fame; ayaśaḥ, defamation; bhavanti, all these become, bhāvāḥ . . . Bhāvāḥ means state of being. Bhūtānām, of all living entities; mattaḥ, from Me; eva, certainly; pṛthag-vidhāḥ, differently.

Because Kṛṣṇa has declared already, aham ādir hi devānāṁ, maharṣīṇāṁ ca sarvaśaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]). He is the original cause of everything. Now . . . then He must be the cause of all good qualification and bad qualification also. Whatever we see in this material world, we consider, "This is bad" and "This is good." We have divided that, according to our calculation. But, actually there are . . . they are varied manifestation of the qualities of Kṛṣṇa in here, in the material world; those qualities, transcendental qualities, they are in Kṛṣṇa and they are in living entities. Just like we have all these qualities.

Take for example, buddhi. Buddhi means intelligence. And what is that intelligence? Real intelligence? Real intelligence is, to know, to understand that, "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme, and I am part and parcel." It is stated here that intelligence means sukhārtha-vivecana-sāmathyam.

Suppose one is very intelligence to drive a car. That is not . . . that is material intelligence for earning our bread. Real intelligence is sukhārtha, the finer sentiments to understand the finer activities of this nature. That is called buddhi, to understand how things are happening. Just like, one is considered to be intelligent when he tries to understand not this physiological or anatomical construction of this body—he wants to see by intelligence what is the active principle of this body that is working. That is intelligence, not that . . .

Just like a child. A child sees that a nice motorcar runs in the street, he thinks that the motorcar is running out of its own accord. That is not intelligence. The motorcar is not running . . . in spite of its . . . just like here we have got this tape recorder, this microphone. Somebody may say: "Oh, how fine discoveries are these. They are working so nicely." But one should see that this tape recorder or this microphone cannot work for a single moment unless a spirit soul touch it. This is intelligence. We should not be wonderful by seeing a machine. We should try to find out who is working the machine. That is intelligence, sukhārtha-vivecanam, to see the finer.
