Intelligence, as Srila Prabhupada defines it, is not being astute with mathematical equations, but is an attitude that accepts God as the ultimate controller. The world is filled with atheists who have extremely high IQs, but IQ is not, according to Krsna conscious philosophy, the mark of an advanced soul. It’s said that Einstein and Newton were believers, but unfortunately, most leading scientists these days don’t believe there is God. This is one reason Srila Prabhupada established the Bhaktivedanta Institute. He wanted his followers to convince scientists, by using their own language and research methods, to accept deeper truths. This is despite the fact that most scientists have an anti-God attitude to begin with. To change an attitude is not an easy thing.
