PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
and absolve him from his liability. But he was not prepared to accept any amount of money. The farmer thought to consult some intelligent fellow. Now there was a person very famous for his Autpattiki intellect. He listened to the whole story and told him that it was very easy to give sweet ball which could not get out of the city gate.
Now that farmer brought an ordinary sweet ball from a confectioner's shop and went near the city gate with that clever fellow. He placed the sweet ball in the gate and ordered the sweet ball to get out of the gate. But the lifeless sweet ball could not move and could not get out of the city gate. Thus he fulfilled the promise.
VAINEYIKI INTELLECT
Sometime a king while marching for his victory expedition arrived in a forest. All were thirsty but water was not to be found anywhere. In the meanwhile an old soldier advised to release the donkeys as the donkeys are capable of searching out a marshy place by smelling the ground. The advice was carried out and by following the donkeys they arrived at a lake full of water. This intellect of the old soldier is called VAINEYIKI because it was derived from respects offered to the elderly people.
KARMIKI INTELLECT
There was an oilman whose wife had a constant practice of selling oil of different quantities to different customers. Sometime she was sitting upstairs and some customers were waiting outside. She was busy and so she called the customers down near the window. The customers were called one by one to stand in a queue and to ask for the oil of any quantity. Now she poured in a jet from upstairs and gave exactly different quantities to different customers. Not a drop fell outside. This intellect is called Karmiki Intellect.
PARINAMIKI INTELLECT
One day a young soldier advised a king to remove all old soldiers from the service. The king had Parinamiki intellect and so he promised to consider his advice.
