0:00.0	A truly intelligent mind is neither influenced by memory or deluded by imagination.
0:11.0	Right now, unfortunately, because of the nature of our education system and the way we have structured many things around it.
0:25.6	A whole lot of people are mistaking memory as intelligence.
0:34.6	This is brought about a huge amount of confusion and suffering, and imagination
0:44.3	is just a projection of your memory, and that can cause delusional problems. When I say delusional, I'm not talking about a psychiatric ailment.
1:00.0	I'm just saying if you suffer, what may happen tomorrow? May happen tomorrow.
1:07.0	That means you're suffering, that which does not exist, that is delusional.
1:12.6	If you suffer what happened 10 years ago or even yesterday for that matter, that is also delusional because memory and imagination are getting mixed up and creating all this suffering.
1:30.3	It's not life that most human beings are suffering.
1:33.3	It is these two fantastic faculties that we have of vivid sense of memory
1:40.3	and a fantastic sense of imagination that human beings and only human beings have.
1:45.0	Unfortunately, a whole lot of people are suffering.
1:49.0	Essentially, this means this enormous work of evolutionary process
1:58.0	to bring us to this level of cerebral capability of memory and imagination,
2:05.6	that is what human beings are suffering because our education systems are focused on doing things in the world.
2:12.6	Our education system is not focused on taking charge of this mechanism.
2:18.3	Only if you're in control and some kind of mastery over this mechanism, can you use your memory,
2:25.3	imagination, and above all, your intelligence in a way that it's a solution.
2:32.3	Right now, human intelligence has become a problem.
2:38.2	Intelligence being a problem is a disaster, because intelligence should be a solution always.
