Since both the words 'intellect' and 'knowledge' are used together, the meaning of 'intellect' here is considered to be the faculty of making a decision with a purposeful objective. So, what does that mean? Read it again. Since both the words 'intellect' and 'knowledge' are used together, the meaning of 'intellect' here is considered to be the faculty of making a decision with a purposeful objective. What is it? 'Intellect' and 'knowledge' are two, but here they are together, so 'intellect' means decisive. 'Intellect' and 'knowledge' are synonyms, yet they are together here, so? They should be interpreted differently. If they are together, both. So what should be done? What is called 'intellect'? What was said? What is called 'intellect'? Decision, making a decision, making a decision is that, huh? Making a decision is 'intellect'. Deciding that 'this is a book', is that 'intellect'? Why? Is knowing 'this is a book' called 'knowledge' or 'intellect'? If I say 'this is a book', is that called 'knowledge' or 'intellect'? It is mentioned there, 'knowledge'—'intellect, knowledge, freedom from delusion, forgiveness, truth, control over the senses, control over the mind'. So what do you say? I said 'this is a book', so is that 'knowledge' or 'intellect'? Knowledge. Then what is called 'intellect'? Deciding 'this is indeed a book' and 'it is not not a book', is that not a decision? What was said? Read it again. Since both the words 'intellect' and 'knowledge' are used together, the meaning of 'intellect' here is considered to be the faculty of making a decision with a purposeful objective. Read the whole paragraph, so that... While, Since the word 'freedom from delusion' follows immediately, 'knowledge' here means the determination of specific subjects regarding conscious and unconscious entities. Whatever decision is made regarding maya, jiva, and Paramatma is called 'knowledge' here. Actually, 'intellect' means mental effort or resolve. 'Knowledge' means knowledge related to moksha. But here, that subject... 'Knowledge' means to know. 'Intellect' means decision. But it is to be said that it is not like that here. So what is it here? To know about moksha is 'knowledge', and to make a decision for moksha is 'intellect'. So decision... read this first, read the definition. The determination of specific subjects regarding conscious and unconscious entities is 'knowledge'. That is 'knowledge'. Intellect, intellect. The meaning of 'intellect', the meaning of 'intellect' is, actually 'intellect' means mental effort or resolve. 'Knowledge' means related to moksha... Before that, at the very beginning, it is written about 'intellect', right? 'Intellect, knowledge'. Since both the words 'intellect' and 'knowledge' are used together, the meaning of 'intellect' here is considered to be the faculty of making a decision with a purposeful objective. Now tell me, what is 'intellect'? To make a decision to fulfill an objective is 'intellect'. What was said? To make a purposeful decision. That is 'intellect'. I will explain. What is called 'intellect'? Making a decision for a good resolve, huh? Making a decision for a good purpose. Meaning, 'I am doing this thing for this reason, I am doing seva for my moksha, or am I doing it to get respect, or to keep others behind me'—that is called 'intellect'. A purposeful decision, like that. A purposeful decision. But decision was also mentioned in the other one, in 'knowledge' as well. Read about 'knowledge'. The determination of specific subjects regarding conscious and unconscious entities is 'knowledge'. Decision was mentioned in that too, so what is the difference between the two? 'Knowledge' is subject-oriented, and 'intellect' is purpose-oriented, objective-oriented. What? IQ, apply IQ, IQ. Do you have IQ or not? Or zero IQ? Apply IQ... you have to apply IQ in this. What? What is the difference between the two? What is it now? Tell me. First, it was just about deciding on 'intellect'. Now, what is the difference between the two? In both, decision comes at the end. 'Knowledge' means this kind of decision, and 'intellect' means that kind of decision. So what is the difference between the two? In 'intellect' there is a purpose, and in 'knowledge' there is no purpose, but it is knowledge. That's it. To make a philosophical decision that 'this is this thing and this is not this thing' is called 'knowledge'. I have said 'knowledge is to know'. What is the meaning of knowing? What does knowing mean? One has to decide that 'this is indeed such an entity, but it is not like this', right? And one also has to decide that 'whatever I am doing, I am doing it for this'. If you sing kirtans, why will you sing? Huh? Why do you sing? So, making a decision about that is called 'intellect', and that is specifically for moksha. To know for moksha is called 'knowledge', and to make a decision for moksha is called 'intellect'. So, if one has decided that 'this is a book and nothing else', does that fall under 'knowledge' or 'intellect'? And if you have decided, if you have decided that 'I want to go to Idar from here in this way, I will not stop for anyone, nor will I come if called'. Swamiji used to say, 'No matter how much they say, I will not make any change'. So that is a kind of decision, right? Is it not purposeful? So should it be called 'intellect' or not? No matter how much they say, no change is to be made. Huh? Perverse intellect. What is said about 'intellect' here? 'Intellect, knowledge, freedom from delusion, forgiveness, truth, control over the senses, control over the mind'. That is God's vibhuti. So if you have decided that 'we will not make any change no matter how much they say', do you become a vibhuti? Or not? Is that called a vibhuti or what? It was said like this in this, right? 'He who knows in truth this vibhuti and yoga of Mine, becomes established in unwavering yoga'. It is written somewhere like that, right? Huh? 'He becomes established, of this there is no doubt'. 'He becomes established, of this there is no doubt'—God says once a proper decision is made, then there is no doubt in it, no matter what anyone does, does any change occur?
