"What is understanding? -- understanding is pure intelligence.……" — Osho

"What is understanding? -- understanding is pure intelligence. That pure intelligence is originally yours; you are born with it. Nobody can give you intelligence. Knowledge can be given to you, not intelligence. Intelligence is your own sharpened being. Through deep meditation one sharpens one`s being; through meditation one drops borrowed thoughts, reclaims one`s own being, reclaims one`s originality, redaims one`s childhood, innocence, freshness. Out of that freshness, when you act, you act out of understanding. And then the response is total, here-now; and the response is because of the challenge, not because of the past."

— Osho
