Intelligence (buddhi) is the power which the inner sense (antah-karana) has of understanding subtle objects of thought.
He, indeed, is said to be intelligent who is possessed of this power. Wisdom is the knowledge of the Self and other such things. Non-illusion consists in acting with discrimination when anything has to be done or known at the moment. Patience: not being agitated in mind when assaulted or abused. Truth: giving utterance to one’s own actual experience of things, as heard or seen, with a view to impress it on the mind of another. Self-restraint: quieting the external senses. Calmness: the tranquillity of the inner sense or antah-karana……..Innocence: not injuring living beings. Contentment: being satisfied with one’s present acquisitions. Austerity: bodily torture accompanied with the restraint of the senses. Beneficence: sharing (one’s own things with others as far as one’s own means may permit. Fame: due to dharma. Shame: due to a-dharma. All these different dispositions of living beings mentioned above, such as intelligence, arise from Me alone, the Lord (Īśvara), according to their respective karma.
