The artificial intelligence of the West is memorial intelligence, and idol consecration in India is living intelligence

Written by – Dr. Kaushik Chaudhary

What is this the so-called ‘Artificial Intelligence’? A one-stop digital record of the answers, knowledge, and experiences humans have learned so far in their lives. Collecting a record of what humans do based on their knowledge and experience when faced with a question or distraction. So the memory of all our experiences and knowledge is collected there. It is given in such quantity that to all the questions that the human being answers, the software also starts answering from the records stored in its hard drive. Even today, we will be able to answer only those questions for which we have experience and knowledge stored in our memory. If the answer to a question is not in our memory, we will say ‘I don’t know.’ At such a time, if we have to do any work, our system will shut down at that time. This is what the artificial intelligence of the West is. Putting the records of all our general and special understanding in a hard drive and creating software that uses those records as answers to questions. But in reality, that intelligence is not artificial, it is our own true intelligence. The only difference is that it is not a live intelligence. It is based on the given memory. That is why the correct term for it should be ‘Memorial Intelligence’.

So what is live intelligence? The intelligence of a self-realized Yogi in India is a living intelligence. A Brahmagyani aka self-realized does not make decisions only on the basis of his memory i.e. past experiences. He is connected to the Brahman of the entire existence, to the divine consciousness. So he evaluates what is the truth of this moment from the current live intelligence, by also checking the past experiences. It is possible that today some person, some situation may have changed and a decision may have to be taken that is contrary to previous experiences. So at a lower level, we know this consciousness or aliveness by words like ‘intelligence’, but at a higher level with its completeness, it is Brahmagyan, the self-realization. If a self-realized Yogi puts his memory in a hard drive and installs that software in the form of a robot, then it will be considered the most intelligent and powerful robot in the world at that time. But that too would be with memorial intelligence. There will be no living intelligence in that either. Because from the moment the memory is inserted into it, the robot’s contact with cosmic consciousness ends. That cosmic consciousness is present in the Yogi, but not in the robot made from his memory. This is the final frontier of the West’s artificial or memorial intelligence. Beyond that limit, the technology to infuse an object with living intelligence forever exists in Indian spirituality.

If the same self-realized Yogi, whose memory has been transformed into a robot, establishes his consciousness in some idol or shape, then the cosmic consciousness awakened within him gets established forever in that idol too. This work itself is called ‘Pranapratishtha’, the ‘consecration’ in English. Especially by Yogis, the consecration of Shivalinga is done at various places for this very purpose. Before leaving the body, they try to establish their awakened consciousness in a Shivalinga at someplace. This remains as their contribution to society. That is why Shivalinga is related to different chakras out of the seven human chakras. The level of consciousness that is consecrated in the Shivlinga is limited to the extent to which the awakening of cosmic consciousness has happened in the Yogi. According to Sadhguru, the Dhyana Linga established by him is the only Shivalinga in which all the seven chakras are installed. That means that Dhyanalinga is like a living yogi. By sitting in front of him, you can attain the living cosmic intelligence, as per your capacity. So, the difference between materiality and science beyond the point at which materiality ends is the same difference as there is between the science of the West and the spirituality of India.

Summary: I can store the knowledge of my book and the spiritual articles I have written so far on a hard drive and turn it into a robot with memorial intelligence. But that robot will use the information from my own writing and give you some answers from them. But that won’t be me. It will not have the new clarity that came to me after writing those books and articles. That robot cannot do the same work as my consciousness can do in changing the social and religious rules that have become rigid and impractical. That robot full of memory intelligence will be like the Prophet and his only scripture, in which no new consciousness can emerge. That is why in Bhishma Parva of Mahabharata, it has been defined by Lord Krishna that Dharma is a consciousness and not an inert rule.
