Description
Osho launches his latest critique against rigid theories and traditional systems—whether religious, political, economic, educational, social, or military—due to their destructive effects on humanity. These systems deprive individuals of their ability to utilize their intelligence, enslave them, transform them into mere machines, and negate their role in creativity, innovation, expressing opinions, and effecting radical change. This, in turn, benefits all the aforementioned authorities, eliminating any perceived threat to their interests and, consequently, their very existence.
The book “Intelligence” presents a series of visions for a new way of life, urging individuals to recognize the beliefs and attitudes that prevent them from being their true selves. It encourages them to confront what they dislike, providing them with the keys to clear vision and the keys to power.
It is an invitation to everyone to explore the difference between mind and intelligence, enabling them to become more aware of how to approach and solve logical, emotional, and practical problems. There is a comparison between intelligence and memory. While memory is useful and important in managing affairs, it can never replace intelligence. The author cites the examples of Einstein and Edison, who astonished the world: the former with his theories, and the latter with his countless inventions, despite both possessing some of the worst memories in history. Edison, for instance, forgot his own name when called while standing in line, looking around frantically.
This book is essential reading for restoring psychological balance, reordering priorities, and making sound choices, both personally and in matters of life and death.
