Weekly Knowledge #158 Baltimore,Maryland 17 Jun 1998 USA

If You Are Unable To Meditate, Your Mind Is Chattering Too Much And Nothing Works, Just Feel That You Are A little stupid. Then you will be able to sink deep. Your intellect is a small portion of your total consciousness. If you are stuck in the intellect, you miss a lot. Happiness is when you transcend the intellect. Also, in awe or in feeling stupid, you transcend the intellect. Have you noticed mentally retarded people are more happy? Question: How do you go beyond the intellect? Answer: By acting stupid! Everyone avoids being stupid, no one wants to look dumb. That is really stupid. Stupidity should be followed by meditation, otherwise depression may follow. Janael: Can I ask a stupid question? Sri Sri: All questions are anyway stupid. Mikey: How do you become stupid? Yash: By asking the question. Rajshree: Just be yourself! *****
