What is intelligence and what is the relationship between the intelligence of the heart and the intelligence of the mind?

True intelligence arises from the heart, where intuition flourishes; when the mind serves this inner wisdom, we become unique, but when it dominates, we fall into the trap of imitation and conformity.

— Osho
According to Osho, intelligence is an inborn, intuitive inner seeing present in every child and in all existence; it is not the head’s intellect, which is borrowed, taught, and imitative. Heart-intelligence trusts one’s own nature and perceives directly; mind-intellect compares, copies, and dulls. When heart leads and mind serves as a tool, uniqueness flowers; when mind dominates, intelligence withers into standardized stupidity.

Real smarts come from your heart’s natural knowing, not from a head full of copied ideas.
