The intellect divides and synthesizes. Some creatures in the world synthesize and some divide. Ants only synthesize, they bring things together and build anthills. Monkeys cannot synthesize, they divide everything. You give them a garland and they tear it to pieces and throw it all over the place. A monkey can only divide or analyse.
A beaver synthesizes, it brings wood together and builds a dam. Birds, such as weaver birds, also synthesize. But human beings have both abilities, they are capable of both analysis and synthesis. The intellect analyses to find the Truth. And Truth once found synthesizes everything into One.
When the intellect becomes quiet, it brings out intelligence. Often people think that gathering information makes them intelligent. This is not so. It is samadhi that brings intelligence. An unintelligent person, though he may have all information, cannot be creative. An intelligent person, even without much information, can be creative. A sign of intelligence is to see the one in many and find the many in one.
If you cannot see the divine in me, then open your eyes. If you see the divine in me, then you are a part of me and you cannot be away from me. If you feel a part of me, you can only see the divine in yourself. And when you see the divine in yourself, you will see the divine in everyone.
Meditation is seeing God in yourself. Love is seeing God in the person next to you. Knowledge is seeing God everywhere. Expression of love is service. Expression of joy is a smile. Expression of peace is meditation. Expressing God is conscious action.
You only see the fall of water. You do not see how the ocean becomes the cloud. The ocean becoming the cloud is a secret, but the cloud becoming the ocean is obvious. In the world, only a few can notice your inner growth and height, but your outer expressions are apparent. Never brood that people do not understand you. They can only see your expression.
Look at the water. Even the fall of water is beautiful. If a rock falls it shatters, but when water falls it generates power and beauty. Being somebody is like being a stone, being nobody is like being the water, being everybody is like being water vapour.
