Supreme Intelligence

We know all living and non-living entities are endowed with certain 'Intelligence'. The Butterflies are so intelligent that they spot the flowers and suck honey without harming the plant or the flowers. On the other hand, there are some humans, who have not developed the humanity in them yet, who kill animals to satisfy their hunger? hence the nature of 'intelligence' is also open to question.
   The firs manifest aspect of the Supreme Lord is 'Intelligence'. The Intelligence at this highest level is called 'narayana'. Here, 'nara' is canal, path, and 'ayana' is path, and flows is the 'chit-shakti', hence 'the eternal flow of Consciousness'. The term 'narayana' is a Rk Vedic term! It denotes the power vested in the supreme Lord. This 'chit-shakti' further manifests as 'jnyan' and 'kriya shakti', step by step! What ultimately appears as gross worldly intelligence is not even 1% of the eternal flow! This is called 'vishnu', (that permeates or pervades! Thus, all that exist here is permeated by an iota of intelligence as consciousness!
  Now, the Supreme Intelligence is that which is the eternal, undiminishing, and ever-flowing- achyuta, ananta, and govinda! Those who tap this source is a blessed soul! The humans, as we are, are endowed with some intelligence and this may be hardly sufficient for earning a livelihood, some food! Beyond the basic necessities, nothing can be attained with this! However, the Bhagavan goes on to impart the secrets to Arjuna regarding this. If you tap the eternal undiminishing and ever-increasing source there will be no dearth for achieving whatever one wants, including the 'divinity' (that is already inherent in the jiva!)! Bhagavan Shree Krishna also imparts the method of 'yoga' to tap this eternal source!
    How to tap the higher supreme intelligence? It is so easy, drop the lower ones? By dropping the mundane existence operative through mind, buddhi and ahamkara, the jiva can directly approach the prajnya. This prajnya is connected to its source like our household electrical appliances connected to the electric pole and the transformer outside, which in turn is connected to the power house and, ultimately, the source at the water fall site or wind mill, waves, or solar or geothermal generator sites! Once we get connected to Him, there is nothing left to achieve or attain here?.
