After my “Kurai ondrum Illai” blog post I've received lot of personal comments regarding “Laser Sharp Intellectual” which I mentioned in the post. For all those comments I've no answers except the email which I got from one of my so called friend. So I simply publishing the email here.
Intelligence
Mind is not your intelligence.
It may sound strange but this is a truth, that mind is not your intelligence. Mind can be intellectual, which is a very poor substitute for intelligence. Intellectuality is mechanical. You can become a great scholar, a great professor, a great philosopher, just playing with words which are all borrowed, arranging and rearranging thoughts, none of which are your own.
The intellect is absolutely bankrupt. It has nothing of its own, all is borrowed. And that´s the difference between intelligence and intellect. Intelligence has an eyesight of its own, a capacity to see into things, into problems.
Intelligence is your born quality.
