Two Kinds of Intelligence Jellaludin Rumi
There are two kinds of intelligence: one acquired, as a child in a school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.
3
With such intelligence you rise in the world.you get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaininginformation. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always moremarks on your preserving tablets.
4
There is another kind of tablet, onealready completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshnessin the center of the chest. This other kind of intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate. It’s fluid,and it doesn’t move from outside to insidethrough the conduits of plumbing-learning.
This second knowing is a fountainheadfrom within you, moving out.
