训练智力并不能产生智慧。反之,当你行为和谐,智力与情感融融无间时,智慧自然发生。智力与智慧之间有着巨大的差异,智力只是思维能力,独立于情感之外。如果不考虑情感力,那么在任何领域接受训练,你都能获得大智力,但那不是智慧,因为智慧包涵了内在的感受力和理智力,在智慧中,这两种力量同时存在,同样强烈,彼此和谐。
你认为,如果把情感带入商务中,则商务难以良好运营或保持诚信,所以你把自己的心灵切分为几大板块:一块负责宗教关怀,一块负责情感,第三块负责与智力和情感毫不相关的商业事务,你的这块“商务心”只把生活视为赚钱谋生的手段。所以,对生活的这种生硬切分,这种混乱无序的生活,日复一日地延续。如果你真正把智慧应用于商务,亦即情感与思维和谐运行于商业事务中,或许商务会失利,很可能会。当你真切地感受到这种生活方式的荒谬残酷、蝇营狗苟,或许你会任由这营生失利。
除非你能真正运用智慧来拥抱生活,而不是单纯卖弄智力,否则世间任何体系都不能把人类从艰辛谋生的漫漫长旅中解放出来。

Intellect vs. Intelligence
Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Rather, intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both intellectually and emotionally. There is a vast distinction between intellect and intelligence. Intellect is merely thought functioning independently of emotion. When intellect, irrespective of emotion, is trained in any particular direction, one may have great intellect, but one does not have intelligence, because in intelligence there is the inherent capacity to feel as well as to reason; in intelligence both capacities are equally present, intensely and harmoniously.
… If you bring your emotions into business, you say, business cannot be well-managed or be honest. So you divide your mind into compartments: in one compartment you keep your religious interest, in another your emotions, in a third your business interest which has nothing to do with your intellectual and emotional life. Your business mind treats life merely as a means of getting money in order to live. So this chaotic existence, this division of your life continues. If you really used your intelligence in business, that is, if your emotions and your thoughts were acting harmoniously, your business might fail. It probably would. And you will probably let it fail when you really feel the absurdity, the cruelty, and the exploitation that is involved in this way of living.
Until you really approach all of life with your intelligence, instead of merely with your intellect, no system in the world will save man from the ceaseless toil for bread.
