To be intelligent is a totally different phenomenon than being intellectual. Intellect is of the mind. Intelligence comes only through meditation. There is no other way.
Intellect collects information. It is a memory system. Intelligence needs no information. It goes through a transformation.
Intellect functions through readymade answers. Answers which are provided by others, parents, teachers, schools, colleges, universities, priests, leaders, readymade answers are collected by the intellectual people. Intellectuals are parrots. They are mechanical. They are his master's voice, "HMV records", gramophone records. They don't have their own understanding.
The intelligent person lives moment to moment, not through borrowed answers. He has no ready made answer. He sees the challenge of the situation and responds accordingly. He is not a photograph. He is a mirror. The intellectual is a photograph. He has already an imprint on it. The intelligent person is just a mirror. He reflects reality as it is. He simply reflects it and responds to it.
