The Enemies of Intelligence | Secrets from Kalika Puran | Guru Pashupati Speaks

Guru Pashupati www.youtube.com

Brief Summary

The video discusses the twelve enemies of intelligence that can hinder one's ability to think clearly and make informed decisions. It draws on mythological references, particularly the story of Shiva from the Kalika Puran, to illustrate how grief and other emotions can cloud judgment. Key points include the importance of recognizing these enemies and how to navigate them for better clarity and understanding in life.

  • Grief leads to a victim mentality.
  • Anger restricts understanding and relationship growth.
  • Possessiveness stifles personal development and knowledge sharing.
  • Lust, attachment, and pride create a skewed perception of reality.
  • Envy and abhorrence prevent analytical thinking and understanding.

Shiva's Grief and the Birth of the River of Death

The video opens with the story of Shiva, who mourns the loss of his wife Sati, with whom he spent 10,000 years. His overwhelming grief becomes the W River, symbolizing the divide between the living and the dead. Brahma advises Shiva that grief affects intelligence, prompting a discussion on the other enemies of intelligence.

Enemies of Intelligence: Grief and Anger

Brahma identifies grief (shoka) as the first enemy of intelligence, asserting that it leads to a victim mentality. Love should not be measured by grief but by the joy of memories. Anger follows as a second enemy, as it limits one's understanding and prevents constructive communication with others who may cause frustration.

Possessiveness and Lust

Possessiveness (loba) represents the need to control and restrict others, which often results in misunderstanding and conflict in relationships. Lust (kama) is highlighted next, detailing how indulgence in sexual fantasies can cloud judgment and prioritize momentary pleasures over meaningful connections.

Attachment to Pleasure and Subservience

Another point made is that attachment to pleasure (moha) creates unrealistic expectations from life experiences, often leading to disappointment. Subservience (badhata) describes individuals who blindly follow orders without critical thinking, which stunts personal growth and intellectual development.

Jealousy and Pride

Jealousy (ira) is discussed as an emotional hindrance that prevents knowledge sharing and fosters inequality among people. Similarly, pride (mana) can lead individuals to ignore the need for humility and self-improvement, jeopardizing their future growth.

Indecision and Compassion

Indecision (vit) is examined as an inability to make choices due to fear of failure, impeding progress. Surprisingly, compassion (kupa) can also be detrimental, as it can lead to overprotectiveness and prevent individuals from allowing others to develop their own strength.

Envy and Abhorrence

Envy (asuya) is highlighted as a destructive emotion that fosters resentment and diminishes one's own accomplishments. Abhorrence (jupa) involves labeling actions as entirely wrong without understanding the reasoning behind them, which diminishes the ability to address and solve issues effectively.

Conclusion: Overcoming the Enemies of Intelligence

To be supremely intelligent, one must recognize and avoid engaging with these enemies of intelligence. The conclusion encourages viewers to reflect on these points, take notes, and strive for a higher state of awareness to enhance their intellectual capacity.

0:00 in the kalika puran Shiva loses his wife Sati and he's been enjoying his life with her for 10,000 years and suddenly she's gone at this time he starts to cry rivers of grief and that becomes the W River the river of death with acidic water which separates the living and the dead but Brahma comes and consoles him and tells him you know grief is one of the enemies of intelligence and by being Grievous you are not being intelligent and then he lists the remaining enemies of intelligence which is an important list for us okay so how does it work the first one is shoka grief if you have grief then obviously you can't be intelligent because you will feel like a victim you'll feel like something has been taken away from you which was very precious and now there is no more

0:46 precious things in the world by inference that's what you're saying there are no more precious things in a world it's like a slap to shaki's face saying you don't have any more precious things in the world to give me and some people fall into grief because in Bollywood they've been taught that they should feel grief and by feeling grief it means that they love the person a lot when they lose the person or if they lose something they feel that grief shows them how much they loved it but that's not true why don't you measure your love by how much you actually Lov them instead of by your grief croa the second one anger when we start getting angry with people again our intelligence is gone in the toilet because now you are only focused on one narrative and you don't understand why they did it if you don't understand why they did whatever they did to make you angry you can't can't stop them from doing it in the future all you can do is break off

1:32 the relationship ruin it and get out that's all you can do you can't do more than that so every time you get angry remember you're rejecting someone whole and you're not really understanding why they did it because you don't have enough intelligence left to find that out next is Loba which is possessiveness uh not wanting to share things thinking that only you have authority over certain things this is my child and my child should only confide in me not in anybody else the moment the child can't find answers from you he or she will go and try and find answers somewhere else most parents don't talk anything about sex so children are finding about it from someone else and when you find out that your child is having sex then you lose your temper and you feel really bad that how could you go to someone else for this information but you didn't offer it yourself lha doesn't allow us to see our faults for

2:19 which people need other people other than you so instead of improving yourself you fall into possessiveness your husband gets a text from someone then you want to know who this is or your wife gets a text from someone and you want to know who this is why are you sending Smileys okay so that is looba and it ruins your intelligence you don't have intelligence then to understand the whole picture of what this person is actually needing and you can't really serve that need you may not even be willing to serve that need that they have but still you say that everything should come from me I will give everything and you will take everything from me because you are mine okay that's an enemy of intelligent next thing is karma lust when you watch porn and you titillate yourself and then when you watch some fantasy romantic movies and you titillate

3:05 yourself and you want the same thing then you fall into Kama and Kam will shoot his arrows and after that you won't know what happened your intelligence will be gone forever okay so be careful the next one is MOA which is attachment to pleasure and you just expect that everything should go hunky dory all the time if you want to go outside and it rains then you feel horrible about it because you are attached to the pleasure of enjoying yourself without the rain and so many things will be happening in your life when covid breaks out a lot of people were attached to pleasure and they're like we can't do these things anymore you know cuz you're not understanding the whole picture your intelligence is in the toilet it took people like 2 3 months to accept covid so MOA because you're you're attached to pleasure you can't adapt and then you lose your

3:52 intelligence and then there is batata which is subservience which is you going and saying that the other person has to give me purpose and I will just follow exactly what they say and I don't want to make any mistakes I'll just follow exactly what they say I won't use my brains at all most of the employees in uh the corporate world are like this they don't have to use their brain at all they to just follow orders and then their intelligence will be again in the toilet okay then Ira jealousy in jealousy what happens is that you hold something and you don't want to give it to anyone else you got some knowledge you don't want to give it to anyone else there are a lot of gurus like this they've learned some yog and they learned some knowledge they don't want to share it with anyone else they just want to keep it with themselves and be powerful there are a lot of Varma teachers like this who don't want to

4:37 teach their knowledge okay so there are a lot of people like this who who keep certain knowledge only to themselves that's called jealousy and they also keep the access of certain things only to themselves they don't want to share it with anyone else when the British were here they didn't want to share all of their privileges with us that's also a kind of Isa and when you have Isa your life becomes miserable because you're so worried about who will take your things that you can't enjoy yourself anymore and then there is mana mana is pride like feeling extremely jingoistic about something okay when you start feeling that there's nobody better than you and your people or you and your uh whatever I don't know achievements and then you lose your intelligence again whatever you achieved will again go away from you

5:23 because you're not learning and you're not growing because you're so far too proud of what you've achieved okay so don't be proud of what you achieve they going to achieve much more this is nothing whatever you've done so far is nothing they're going to achieve more vit which is indecision okay you are not able to decide about two things because you are scared what will happen I have to take the responsibility if it goes bad so you're afraid to fail so when people are afraid to fail they'll get into witchit indecision uncertainty that kind of stuff which is again an enemy of intelligence you cannot expect any intelligence to operate when you have V tickets sir and surprisingly in this list for some people is Kupa or compassion if you start feeling sorry for someone you are saying that that

6:09 person is not intelligent I have to help them in everything you don't have to feel sorry for anyone you can tell them as it is and you don't have to help anybody who's not willing to be helped who's not taking that two steps when you start spoon feeding people help then it's called dupa and most of the NOS today are doing this only spoon feeding they're not teaching the people and making them strong but they want to spoon feed them and that doesn't make them grow because when you're not there to spoon feed them and you run out of funding then the whole project crashes I've done this before a project I was doing with 1 million children crashed because covid happened and we we ran out of funding and I resolved never to do that again never to put my hands out and beg all they were giving me was 2 crores I can earn that myself so I took the

6:56 next uh 3 years I don't know when did Co end maybe 2022 so the next two years I took to make sure that I have funding for my own NGO and I'm never going to go to this corporate funding again now when I help people it's happening in a sustainable way no Kupa they have to do their hard work and they have to grow and that's how I do my 64-day challenge asuya asuya is Envy this is another enemy of intelligence and this is the 11th one which makes you feel that somebody has got something that they don't deserve which I actually deserve I deserved it but they got it and you start feeling envious about them okay you're single and you see someone with uh with their girlfriend and you feel that should have been me you know that kind of anyway don't feel that

7:44 if you cuz if you inhabit any of these things you can kiss your intelligence goodbye intelligence by like that okay last one is jupa or abhorrence when you start thinking oh my God this is so bad this is horrible look at these people how could they do that okay even if it's a rapist even if it's a somebody started a war how could Putin invade Ukraine you start and then you start how could that rape happen how could this happen how could the pakistanis do this how could when you start that your intelligence is gone because you're not understanding how could they if you understand how could they then you can stop it but if you don't understand how could they and you say that they are a failure as a human being because they did it then you lose the intelligence to find out why they did it and how to stop them okay so without boring you should live your life

8:31 whatever you abore no you'll become that this is what my Guru taught me whatever you abor you'll become that and you lose your intelligence so these are the 12 enemies of intelligence I hope you enjoyed knowing about these many of you are in bed with these things so please get out of bed with these things and refuse to be part of these 12 watch this video again take notes and make sure that you don't fall into these 12 you'll become supremely intelligent so how to be supremely intelligent stop entertaining the enemies of intelligence don't be in bed with the enemies of intelligence hope you enjoyed the video if you did then uh let me know in the comments what you learned
