Intelligence is certainly superior to will-power. A person first comprehends, and then he wills. Next, he thinks it over again and again, and then he directs the organ of speech. Finally, he makes the organ of speech utter the name. All the mantras then merge in the names, and all the actions merge in the mantras.
All these (will-power, mind, etc.) merge in intelligence, are directed by intelligence, and are supported by intelligence. That is why, a person may be learned but if he is dull, people (ignore him and) say - ‘He does not exist, no matter how much he seems to know. If he were really learned, he would not be so foolish.’ On the other hand, if a person is not learned but he is intelligent, people will listen to him (with respect). It is intelligence that governs all these. It is their soul and their support. Therefore, worship intelligence.
‘One who worships intelligence as Brahman attains worlds of intelligence (i.e., things he regards as important). He becomes true and attains the world of truth. He is firmly established and also attains a world which is firmly established. He is free from pain and also attains a world free from pain. One who worships intelligence as Brahman can do what he pleases within the limits of intelligence.’ Nārada asked - ‘Sir, is there anything higher than intelligence?’ ‘Of course, there is something higher than intelligence,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said - ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
