Intelligence Differentiates, Wisdom Does Not


The Buddha is telling Subhuti, "If you want to still and control your mind, this is what you must do. You must vow to free all beings without becoming attached to the perception of a being. This is how you should vow to free all beings." To do this, you need to make use of wisdom, not intelligence. Intelligence differentiates, wisdom does not.
