Radhanath Swami on Channelizing Our Intelligence

The air pollution, the water pollution, the wars taking place, the prejudice and hate throughout the world, the putting of nuclear waste in the ground, the horrible diseases like cancer and AIDS which are born of misuse of our own bodies, the breaking down of the ultraviolet layers of the ozone covering which protect us from the sun, and so many other innumerable problems – are they caused by the birds and the beasts? Or the frogs and the grasshoppers? They are all caused by human beings. Because human beings are trying to use the conscious power of discrimination towards satisfying our lower nature like the insects and animals, we cause a complete mess. We become endlessly greedy and envious and proud and lusty. What is happening to the whole planet and the suffering of all living beings is a direct result of that. Therefore, it is very important for us to apply our good intelligence for the ultimate goal of life which is to understand who I am.

    If all of us tried to follow our intelligence and aim to find out the goal of human existence, the world would be a wonderful place to be in!

    IF we do not use our intelligence correctly, we become endlessly greedy and envious and proud and lusty

    The ultimate goal of life is to find out who we are, who God is and what our relationship with that Supreme God is. Unless people focus on these things, there won't be any real development of +ve consciousness. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for sharing it!
