一旦找到真理 Truth Once Found

理智掌管分解與組合能力。
世間有些生物會組合，有些會分解，但是人類同時擁有分解及組合的能力。
螞蟻會組合，它們把東西聚集築成蟻丘。但是海貍會組合，它們會將所有木頭聚集起來並築成水壩。鳥類如鷽鳥也會組合。
但是猴子不會組合，它們分解所有東西。給猴子一個花圈，他們會把花圈撕碎並四處亂撒。猴子只會分解或分析。
人類既會分解（分析）也會組合。理智對相關世界加以分析以便找出真理。一旦找到真理，一切就合而為一。
理智安靜下來時，它即帶出智慧。人們常認為集資訊會使人有智慧，實則不然。是「平靜」（samadhi）帶出了智慧。
沒有智慧的人，即使擁有一切資訊，亦沒有創造力。
有智慧的人，即使資訊不豐富也能充滿創意。
智慧的跡象是能從眾生中見到一且能在一中見到眾生。
有句古老的梵文諺語說道：
智慧的第一個跡象是：不去啟動任何事情。
智慧的匢二個跡象是：如果你已著手進行某件事，你就必需貫徹到底。
因此，如果你已經騷擾了某人，不要中途停止，就把他騷擾到底！（笑聲）
116 TRUTH ONCE FOUND
Weekly Knowledge #116 Bad Antogast 27 Aug 1997 Germany
It is the intellect that divides and that synthesizes. Some creatures in the world only synthesize and some creatures only divide. But the human being has both abilities, he divides and synthesizes. Ants only synthesize, they bring Things Together And Build An Ant Hill. But Monkeys Cannot Synthesize, They Can Only Divide Everything. You Give Them a garland for example, and they tear it to pieces and throw it all over the place. A monkey can only divide, or analyze. But a beaver synthesizes, it brings all the wood together and builds a dam. Birds also synthesize such as the Weaver birds.
A human being both analyzes and synthesizes. So you analyze from the relative world and synthesize to find the one. The intellect divides to find the truth. Truth once found synthesizes everything.
When the intellect becomes quiet, it brings out the intelligence. Often people think that gathering information makes one intelligent. This is not so. It is the "samadhi" which brings out the intelligence.
An unintelligent man, in spite of having all the information, cannot be creative. An intelligent man without much information can be creative.
A sign of intelligence is to see the one in many and find the many in one.
There is an old Sanskrit proverb: The first sign of intelligence is not to start anything. The second sign of intelligence is if you have started something, you have to continue it to the end.
If you have annoyed somebody, don't stop it in the middle, take him to the edge. (Laughter)

News Flash: Bellund, Denmark had about 150 advanced course participants. The course had good silence, meditations and lively Satsangs. It had interesting questions and answers, tears of gratitude and lots of laughter.
Guruji's "secret visit" to the beach in Lübeck had about 50 devotees trailing behind. A fun train that Guruji and the gang boarded had its driver blissed out so that he took the fun-train off its normal course along the beach into the traffic of the main road for a much longer ride, to the amazement of the on-looking citizens of Lübeck.
In less that two weeks of preparation, the Hamburg devotees had a full hall for Guruji's talk.
This week also saw an advanced course in Calcutta, big Satsangs in Durban, Krishna's birthday celebrations in the German Ashram and teacher's training in the Bangalore Ashram.
Jai Guru Dev
