The highest function of the intelligence, according to the Upanishads, is to realise its limitations. When it has realised its limitations, it just keeps quiet. It knows, “I’m very useful in this, this and this, but I’m not very useful in this.” The ‘I’ has to just pipe-down. When ‘I’ pipes-down, then ‘the other’ is.
