Intelligence in Life
“In every moment”
The intelligence in life manifests the moment in life. The intelligence in life within the moment renews the moment in life every moment. This signifies that the moment in life is always present and new.
The intelligence in life manifests the mind in life. The intelligence in life has manifested the mind in the moment in life. The mind has neither manifested the intelligence in life nor itself within the moment.
This signifies that the intelligence in life has manifested the mind in the moment in life. The intelligence in life has further manifested vegetation and the animal kingdom in life in the moment.
This signifies that it is not the mind that manifests vegetation or the animal kingdom that are in any moment in life. It is the intelligence in life which manifests all of them.
The intelligence in life has manifested the mind in the animal kingdom too. The intelligence in life has manifested the mind in the animal kingdom in the moment in which the animals are.
This signifies that the mind neither manifests vegetation nor the animal kingdom with the mind in them in the moment. The intelligence in life in the moment manifests the instinct in animals in the moment.
The mind in the animal kingdom in the moment does not manifest the instinct which is in the moment in animals, because the mind in the animal kingdom does not manifest the moment in the animal kingdom.
Since anything that is known is known only in the moment, it implies that anything that is known in the moment in the mind is manifested by the intelligence in life and not by the mind.
The intelligence in life manifests everything that is known in the moment in the mind by humans as thoughts. This signifies that the mind does not manifest the known as thoughts in the mind, because the mind does not manifest the moment in the mind.
The intelligence in life manifests everything that is known in the moment in the mind of the animal kingdom as instinct. This signifies that the mind in the animal kingdom does not manifest the known as instinct in the mind of the animal kingdom, because the mind in the animal kingdom does not manifest the moment in the mind of the animal kingdom.
Similarly, the intelligence in life manifests everything that is known as thoughts in the human mind in any moment. This signifies that the intelligence in life makes everything happen in life and it is not the mind that makes everything happen in life in any moment.
The question is, what really happens in the moment in life and in the moment in the mind as thoughts?
A moment in life is without numerical duration of time. This implies that the intelligence in life manifests only a movement of light and sound in the moment in life.
It further implies that the intelligence in life manifests illusory thoughts of duration of time and illusory thoughts of light and sound as actuality in the moment in the mind.
The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that what is meant to happen, albeit illusory, will only happen and no force on earth can stop it from happening. Likewise, what is not meant to happen, albeit illusory, will not happen and no force on earth can make it happen.

Editor’s Note:
There is no judgment in the intelligence of life. There is judgment in the minds of men and women. There is no preference in the intelligence of life. There is preference in the minds of men and women. There is no beginning and end in the intelligence of life. There is both beginning and end in the minds of men and women. There are no thoughts or actions in the intelligence of life. There are both thoughts and actions in the minds of men and women. In the moment that is, there is no judgment, no preference, no beginning or end, no thoughts and no actions, save that they make their appearance as illusion, that which appears to be. In the minds of men and women, they make their appearance as reality, that which is. On his and her way to understanding the proclamations of the enlightened, as gifted in this article, men and women will hear the proclamations of the mind, manifested also by the intelligence of life.

German Translator’s Note:
Intelligence is considered as the property of a human or animal. Intelligence is thus attributed to an individual. Intelligence is considered as in an individual, forgetting that the individual is in life and not separate from life. The enlightened, like Dr. Shankar in this article, show the arrogance of the ego, which regards the intelligence in life as its own achievement, as intelligence in itself. Without life, there would be no indiviual, albeit illusory. Pride and arrogance are based on this misunderstanding of intelligence. Modesty and gratitude comes from the understanding that intelligence is omnipresent in life and without the intelligence in life no living being could be intelligent.
