What are symptoms of intelligence? A sense of discrimination is one attribute.
To  contemplate and endeavour to understand life , and ultimately be able to understand the difference between  body ,mind ,intelligence, and consciousness is the  great Vedic science , and this , the Vedas say is the greatest display of intelligence.

Having some abilities in this science  of self realisation opens the door to unlimited possibilities and unlocks  unlimited potential. Perhaps the end of our endless wonderings within the universal material energies will be in sight.
The dumbed down Darwinian makes no such distinctions , scientific materialism fills their brains , they think consciousness is caused by neurons firing , instead of consciousness causing neurons to fire .

Their intelligence filled with speculative scientific materialism theories,  that they  present as fact based theory , in   educational systems world wide , even small children are shown pictures of apes turning in to mean , via supposed transitions that don’t exist , or they are taken to the scientific museum in London and as soon as they walk in they are bombarded by Darwinians speculative macro evolution guessing, in one huge theatrical show  , ask them to build one blade of grass from scratch,  they are clueless,  what to speak of mind , intelligence, and consciousness..
But at least they can detect and identify intelligence..
Microbial intelligence (known as bacterial intelligence) is the intelligence shown by microorganisms. The concept encompasses complex adaptive behaviour shown by single cells and altruistic or cooperative behaviour in populations of like or unlike cells mediated by chemical signalling that induces physiological or behavioural changes in cells and influences colony structures. This indicates consciousness within the microbe ,his flash in the pan life feels satisfying, time is relative,  as Einstein pointed out .

Further,  further..

Wisconsin bill to restrict pathogen studies worries scientists
U.S. House and three states have now passed or considered bans on “gain-of-function” research for viruses and bacteria

Mmm.
Probably a good idea ..
But why not admit gain of function as the cause of coronavirus…and that USA and Europe were involved , in funding the Chinese Lab.

July 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. has suspended federal funding to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) for failing to provide documentation related to concerns over biosafety protocol violations at the facility that has faced questions for years over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s all very well to improve medical studies , but there are plenty of natural ways of exploration of plants and the natural world , tinkering with child like consciousness into the DNA structure of a virus , when a comparison is made to Divinities engineering, is a dodgy business . Why Divinities engineering is in place , and what real purpose it serves needs deep understanding , and such complexities are discussed in the Vedas , and relate to body , mind and consciousness as well as free will and determinism. That a justification comes for gain of function research by the biological medical community because it accepts that the Darwinian chance  “little warm ponds ” speculations are fact based theory is dangerous and not acceptable.

It’s a theory..full stop ..

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not “guesses” but reliable accounts of the real world.

We see no transitions,  repeatedly occuring , or the like , mutation mathematics are not a reality,  a scientific community could not put one living cell back together after pulling it apart , chemical bonding of molecular structures are highly complex and precise,  get the procedures just a little wrong, and it all falls apart .

See Prof James Tour work on abiogenises.

Gain of function and playing with fire.

Western democracy has boiled down to successive failures in the election process worldwide , and even if a so-called fair election takes place , ( funded by private enterprises) along with lobbying interests , still the result is an unqualified leader and ministers constantly changing departments in which they have no extensive knowledge of , leading to repeated foolish decisions and inadequacy in practically all policies. Take a look at your world if you have doubts.

The Vedic autocratic system means permanent Vipras or learned men in their respective fields , permanently in place carrying out duties under a permanent leader , a saintly king , who cares for his people, and who always has the business class under his care and supervision , not , as in modern democracies the political leaders are under influences of private enterprises who pay for political funding .

The saintly king is guided only by the intelligentsia, the Vipras and the brahmanas.

All the Vipras and Brahminical classes naturally practice democracy amongst themselves to bring maximum efficiency in their duties that benefit all living beings and, of course, the environment.

The inadequacy of democracy..

Some atheistic scientific thinkers are using computer statistical analysis with mathematical modelling , along with their subjective  speculations , that they call reasoning , and  are stating that given enough time chemicals can  self assemble in organised selection methods , one person gave a comparison to a tumble dryer , just throwing things  around , until magically creating perfect chemical bonds and perfect molecular structures . Such scientific thinkers , who are not  particularly educated in computer modelling or statistical mathematics are fooling  some of the innocent public by using  their speculative calculations and even suggest chemical sequencing  are the ultimate source of consciousness and the  constructions of all the millions of body parts . Basically they are assuming thd DNA coding and the perfect information structures forming protein machines that supervise the way the body is built,  are just chance events,  but , that keep repeating themselves.

One might presume they are saying a million monkeys on a million typewriters for a million years will produce by chance a replica of one of Shakespeares plays . Problem is the word “might ” has been deliberately “upgraded ” ,  by rascal  some science community members , in the  language of the Darwinian , at least when it comes to the uneducated public,  might is upgraded to “it is now more or less proved” such self selection is happening .  ” we see it happening ” in our mathematical modelling , “self selection and biological evolution is now a reality .” NO NEED OF ANY INTELLIGENT FORSIGHT or God .

FURTHER , recent experiments were carried out , taking a string of already existing RNA and slicing it in three , and adding already existing parts of RNA , and trying to get this to self replicate , they managed a 1 % purity level , instead of natures 100% purity level , that enables self replicating to take place , Such 1% purity is no substitute for the so called primordial soup….everything must be 100% molecular structures , otherwise they break up .

What they don’t tell you is that its wishful thinking based on faulty computer mathematical modelling and statistics calculations that are unrealistic.

It’s only mathematical statistical experts and computer modellers that can easily see the inaccuracies of the work of such atheistic speculations of such Darwinian profs . using these techniques . AND it fools only those not familiar with statistics, mathematics, and computer modelling. or biological and chemical engineering.

Mathematical statistics , computer modelling , chemical bonds, and the reality that molecules don’t move towards life …

How it is that a highly cultured controlled person, both in ethical , moral , religious beliefs and perfect behaviour, can step beyond such  restrictions and at least internally appear to breach such standards . This is certainly a mystery to many .

Yet ,  the esoteric aspects of the Smriti of the Vedas and in the hearts of  their most spiritually advanced followers, you’ll find indeed many contradictions of  supposed expectations of internal behaviour.

This needs thorough examination and understanding.

The trancendental mysteries can be found perhaps in the hearts of some of the residents of Vraja and in the hearts of the pure representatives of the Gaudia Bramha sampradaya.

And actually, in the heart of the Goddess of fortune Laxmi , who developed the desire to enter this mystery.

Such mysteries are never understood cheaply , thus the top quality Vaisnava is described.

titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ

suhṛdaḥ sarva-dehinām

ajāta-śatravaḥ śāntāḥ

sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣaṇāḥ

The symptoms of a sādhu are that he is tolerant, merciful and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies, he is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime.

Two other verses in the Caitanya Caritamrita describe how a male devotee should not look upon a lady in lusty ways, and should strictly avoid over association of any kind , but another verse states that by hearing about the activities of the lovers of Krishna,  the Gopies,  all the lust in the heart for mundane lust will be eradicated  .

The great poet Jayadeva Goswami in his Gita Govinda text , wishes that his super esoteric work will purity the hearts of all who read them .

Such are the trancendental and  mysterious contradictions that are found in the Vedas , but Srila Sridhar Swami warns fools rush in where angels dare to tread , thus Rupa Goswami has chalked a path of Sadhana Bhakti and Ragganuga Bhakti , and the Siksa or Diksa Guru will guide one .Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu sets the example,  He has three Gurus , Initiating Guru , sannyasa Guru, and a Siksa Guru for the esoteric aspects of Ragganuga Bhakti. We should follow his example of finding appropriate Gurus for our particular station and situation.

BRAHMINISM AND BEYOND ..fools rush in where angels dare to tread

It’s said in the suddha bhaktas writings that a lame man can climb mountains a blind man can see, and a fool can create eloquent poetry. How can this be , according to some , karma, is so strong and binding that practically everything is predestined , but there again , one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong. SO, how can someone suffer wrong, or how can anyone change destiny?

Free will , determinism, and free will, causing interventions in  predetermined events .. beyond astrological predictions.

The Pearls of Instruction by His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahansa Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada: 

1. We are constantly put to test and trial in this world. Only those who attend and participate in the kirtana of the devotees can succeed.

2. Every spot on earth where pure discourses on God are held is a place of pilgrimage.

3. Possession of objects not related to Krishna is our main malady.

4. Let me not desire anything but the highest good for my worst enemies.

5. As dalliance with the body in luxury increases, so wanes the spirit of service of the Lord.

6. Those favored by God find their paths set by thorns.

7. There is no peace or happiness in our worldly life. Circumstances create turmoil and annoyance.

8. Chant the Holy Names loudly and with attachment. This will drive away inertia, worldly evils and pests.

9. Be indifferent to bazaar gossips, stick firmly to your cherished goals, no lack or impediments of the world will ever stand in your way.

10. Pay due respects to the extroverts of the world, but do not be appreciative of their manners and conduct. They are to be shaken off from your mind.

Teachings of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja

The following is the multiuniversal view of Lord Krishna , the cause of all causes, according to the Srimad Bhagavatam..

“It is the living entity’s constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy.

The following is the world veiw and trancendental veiw of one of the greatest scholars of the Vedas , SRILA Rupa Goswami.

Who describes the ultimate liberated state , and freedom from conditioned world veiws

“ ‘I am not a brāhmaṇa, I am not a kṣatriya, I am not a vaiśya or a śūdra. Nor am I a brahmacārī, a householder, a vānaprastha or a sannyāsī. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the maintainer of the gopīs. He is like an ocean of nectar, and He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He is always existing with brilliance.’ ”

What’s your worldview….and who has helped you develop it ? was it this life , last life, or a combination of the two or many more , that has brought you to certain subjective thoughts about your world veiw

Faith and belief…

One can increase faith  in any topic of philosophy , science or religious teaching by a greater knowledge and understanding of them and  applying oneself to study with a  contemplative open frame of mind.

Thus , properly concluding something to be true using   deliberation , logic, and reason . Prabhupada said we should know how great God is, for instance, using intelligence.

Belief in ISKCON and  Srila Prabhupada’s mission as he set it out ,  without  sufficient knowledge  of  details of his strategies and why he  specifically developed them or placed importance in them , can  make our belief waiver in both ISKCON and even Prabhupada . If one does not give  deep thoughts and the time to examine the reasons Prabhupada directed ISKCON in specific ways  ,one might even conclude that , I have faith in the general teachings  of the Srimad Bhagavatam,  Caitanya Caritamrta  and Bhagavad Gita but not an absolute belief that Prabhupada has chalked out necessarily the best strategies or approach to preaching , as well as the way he has structured his ISKCON society . Some devotees , without proper research , might also conclude that our only approach to the teachings of Mahäprabhu and the Goswamis must be only through Srila Prabhupada and his libraries , and other works of past , present and future acaryas should be practically ignored , despite Prabhupada actually saying we should read and understand the literature of all our acaryas ,  some devotees may say  ” we don’t need read any of our predecessor acaryas works , because Prabhupada has explained everything..” ..of course the mature student knows the Bhagavatam is forever expanding as the transcendental experiences of limitless souls touch it , the Caitanya caritamrta being just one example. We should always remember that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu specifically instructed Srila Rupa Goswami , after Mahaprabhu read Rupa Goswami explanations of the verse that Mahāprabhu chanted at the Rathayatra festival , to reveal and write on the inner confidential reasons for Mahāprabhus appearance and His desire to taste the Love of Srimati Radharani and Her Manjaris. Those who conclude we don’t need to study the works of our param para are actually outside of ISKCON in real terms because they misunderstand  Prabhupada and his  inner consciousness  and intentions , consequently they may interpret his mission in subjective ways and fail to understand his full and real intentions.

One could think that instead of employing ones intelligence to assist in developing Prabhupada’s strategies , we ought to use our own intelligence to develop them in different ways and adjust things done in the past ,( of course there  may be legitimate specific changes , that may be applied in consultation with a governing body ,)  some might even advocate altering  things that were published in Prabhupada’s books or given emphasis by him , or some might  try to  give interpretations of Prabhupada’s original formulations of management and directives he gave , or even change the philosophical outlook and cor values of the transcendental historical culture thàt he truly represents .
Prabhupada has given the framework  , as he said ..  for everything to succeed …..and we have the duty to fill it in correctly  , we have to have faith in his directions and the tradition he represents and believe in him , and a governing body that he set up , although they may make mistakes,  still , we should have faith it will be corrected., because ISKCON is Prabhupada ,Prabhupada represents Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and ultimately the desire of Mahaprabhu and Nityananda prabhu  .

Faith in the teachings or the book Bhagavat and having a belief in the visions and directions of the person Bhagavat goes hand in hand .

Text 5: By remembering the lotus feet of the Pañca-tattva, a dumb man can become a poet, a lame man can cross mountains, and a blind man can see the stars in the sky. Text 6: The education cultivated by so-called learned scholars who do not believe these statements of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta is like the tumultuous croaking of frogs. Text 7: One who does not accept the glories of the Pañca-tattva but still makes a show of devotional service to Kṛṣṇa can never achieve the mercy of Kṛṣṇa or advance to the ultimate goal.

What are Srila Prabhupada’s intentions for ISKCON ?

The uncertainty principle..

Edward Teller , a disciple of Niels Bohr and Edward Schrodinger and Heisenberg . Tells the ultimate story of Quantum physics…the uncertainty principle…..calculated by Heisenberg …. If you ask about the past, there is always causality…..cause and effect .. If you ask about the future, there are endless possibilities. And uncertainties. Albert Einstein did not like this uncertainty principle  he said God does not throw dice .

But our freedom is the uncertainty in life , no one knows exactly how we will use it , its God given ,and to a degree in real terms Divinity places Himself in uncertainty, when He grants it .

Prabhupada says … You are not dead stone .. You have Free will, and Krishna has given that free will . How you act , and how you choose is entirely up to you ….. Although within the laws of nature ,we are entangled in previous actions and determinism. but not entirely some independent freedom and constant choices are available. This uncertainty principle is the cause of pleasure and rasa for Krishna in our liberated state . And a cause of our liberation and bondage in or from matter.
