WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE INTELLIGENT?

Srila Prabhupada taught us what does it mean to be intelligent:
  1. One who knows what he is, what is this world, what is God, what are the interrelations.
  2. Becoming Krsna conscious.
  3. Linking with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
  4. Going back home, back to Godhead.
  5. To inquire, "Where is the reality? Where is the eternal substance behind the illusion?"
  6. To know about the spiritual world.
  7. One who knows, who has got sufficient knowledge ... even up to the understanding of the Absolute Truth.
  8. To understand that we are all eternal.
  9. To know that "I am the part and parcel of the supreme consciousness, pure soul. I am not this body."
  10. One who does not waste time.
  11. To know how to go back to home, back to Godhead. 
  12. To find out Krsna.
  13. Be inquisitive about the goal of our life.
  14. To take knowledge from a man who is better intelligent than us.
  15. To find out where there is no danger ... where there is real happiness.
  16. One who surrenders.
  17. "I do not want something, but it is being forced upon me. How to check it?"
  18. To have knowledge.
