Big Men With Dull Intelligence - Prabhupada 0865
770127 - Conversation A - Jagannatha Puri
Prabhupāda: Intelligence is developed by association, by hearing, by experiencing. Otherwise very big intelligence, he's also dull. Don't you see the big, big leaders, Gandhi and Radhakrishnan, they have no intelligence? They are misinterpreting the whole . . . although they're passing as very big men, intelligent. And if you say to them that, "You are not intelligent; you are wrongly interpreting Bhagavad-gītā," they will be offended. So intelligence is so dull even to such big, big men, what to speak of ordinary men. Big, big demigods, their intelligence also lacking. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu said kona, "Somebody very fortunate, he can understand." Kona bhāgyavān. And another place, brahmāra durlabha prema: "Even Brahmā cannot understand what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness." Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu (BG 7.3). These things are there. So this intelligence is not so easy.
