intelligence and knowledge

It is a knowledge and information oriented world.Merely accessing knowledge does not make one intelligent.
Intelligence happens when there is an awakening to our fundamental suffering.Intelligence enables acceptance and acceptance leads to surrender.Surrender is an aspect of intelligence; when we are able to see things as they are beyond mind filters.
I have had the privilege of meeting so many people who are not at all knowledgeable, but are very intelligent.At the same time, I have met people who are very knowledgeable but could hardly qualify as intelligent. There are also intelligent people who are knowledgeable.
Intelligence is not about the intellect.It is a natural state of being that emerges as we awaken to our fundamental suffering.
