If you allow the flame of discontent to keep on burning, not being satisfied with anything, then superficial satisfactions have no place. Then this very dissatisfaction demands something much greater, and the ideals, the gurus, the religions, the establishment, become totally superficial. This flame of discontent, because it has no outlet, because it has no object in which it can fulfil itself, becomes a great passion. That passion is intelligence.
