There are two kinds of intelligence: One acquired,
as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,
collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.
With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more
marks on your preserving tablets.
There is another kind of tablet, one
already completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshness
in the center of the chest. This other intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate. It's fluid,
and it doesn't move from outside to inside
through the conduits of plumbing-learning.
This second knowing is a fountainhead
from within you, moving out.
Well you may realize that those words are the translation from Persian, It was written 800 years ago by Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, The one who also started the whirling derveshes, You may also realize that Allama Iqbal was very inspired by him, Javed Nama is also a Tribute to Masnavi, I wish We go back and read our own writers and poets.
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” Rumi
