[QUOTE=CityMonk;37818]This is a good point.
But do you think they would right anything if they were really enlightened? Would they care about anything then?[/QUOTE]
Yes, because a genius always creates. When one awakens the divine intelligence within themselves they also open the door to creative intelligence, and creative intelligence creates. It from this this intelligence great discoveries are made that will take society further in its development.
For example the Risis who had reached enlightenment used their enlightenment to create a Vedic society. Literally a knowledge-based society. In which everything was governed by scientific principles to create the ideal conditions for individual and collective growth. This lasted for thousands of years and reached great heights.
You should read on these great sages they had incredible skills of memory, calculation, intelligence and at the same time were enlightened, joyous, wise and loving. I will introduce you to some of those great Risis:
Rishi Panini’s was a grammarian and he wrote the Ashtadhyayi, it is a treatise on grammar which is able to through 4000 simple algaberic like rules construct the entire grammar of Sanskrit in a computerized system similar to the precision and computer power of a Turing machine(a power theoretical logical computer on paper) and processes Sanskrit sounds like machine code. Still today scholars look at this man and his work, and wonder how could a single man have achieived this. They call his work, “a monument of human intelligence” Linguistics opine that the work is so advanced, than it may continue to inform linguistic science right up to the 22nd century.
Risi Pingala was a Sanskrit musical theorist who composed the Chandashastra he was able to give dozens of different kind of metres and arrange metre by using binary codes and hashing algorithms(converting number to binary and vis versa) Another beauty of his system is that he was able to create a system of poetry that had mathematical precision such that the mathematical structure of poem when examined would produce geometry. He could created systems of metaphor where a Sanskrit poem when read forward would give a cogent and poetic question, and when read backwards it would reveal a cogent and poetic answer. Again to imagine what kind of intelligence one would need to accomplish this.
Rishi Sushruta was an surgeon. He wrote the Sushruta Samhita which comprises 1200 diseases scientifically classified with symptology, etiology, diagnosis and treatments listed. It lists about 500+ drugs of herbal, metallic, chemical, animal subsstances. He listed 300 different types of surgicial procedures, of which there are 51 alone for the eyes. His techniques in plastic surgery are still used today.
Rishi Patanjali was a psychologist and phenomenologist. He wrote the Yogasutras(as you will clearly know) In the Yogasutras Patanjali delinates scientifically the entire journey from beginning to end of meditation and describes all the key stages and gives precise definitions as well describing the classical 8-fold framework. Inherent in Patanjali’s works are modern psychological theories like learning theory, psychodynamic theory and cognitive-behavioural theory.
These great masters probably had IQ’s for which we have no celing. Perhaps 1000+. However, this is what we all have to look forward to when we reach enlightenment. A complete opening up of all our faculties. Imagine a civilisation where the average IQ of people is 200+ It would be a a civilisation of genius. This is what I believe the Vedic civilisation was in the golden age.
