Well, what exactly is meant by the word "intelligence"? If it means that men have more achievements in science, and that they play chess better, etc., then men are certainly more intelligent. Although, I guess it's not just about intelligence... I don't even know. Has anyone ever thought about what an indicator of intelligence would be?

Intelligence is one of the subtle mental sheaths that covers the soul – the living being itself. Intelligence has its nature and functions: The nature of intelligence: to enjoy, to take, and to dominate. Main functions: to distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant things, and to think. The primary function of intelligence is to perceive and realize external influences, and to transmit information to the ego, intellect, etc. These perceptions are then transmitted through the mind to the motor organs, resulting in actions such as: reflection, discussion, hypothesis creation, concentration, decision-making. Mental disposition (manasa prakriti) Mental activity can be of three types: sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic. The sattvic mental disposition is free from flaws and possesses qualities such as kindness, sincerity, truthfulness, and purity. The rajasic disposition is characterized by passion and anger. The tamasic disposition is characterized by ignorance, passivity, and sleepiness. There are countless combinations of these three aspects of mentality. Sometimes mental abilities are determined by the physical qualities of a person, and sometimes vice versa. With a more detailed division, there are seven varieties of sattvic, six of rajasic, and three of tamasic mental dispositions. http://aauumm.ru/post145971862/ http://ayurlife.com.ua/ru/ayrveda/principi_ayrvedi.html

After the ariputra fasts, I can say that I have seen everything in life.

The judgment of that ironic person is obvious, but everyone thinks about something else, reflecting on themselves.

I didn't quite explain it, or rather, I didn't think that others might not understand and skipped over this nuance:
God places us above Himself because He is merciful and all-powerful, and Christ died for us, taking upon Himself the sins of humanity, for our sake, sacrificing Himself. A person should also act in the same way – forgive and not put themselves above God!

I meant that a person, for example, a wife, should not put herself above God, but her husband above God, above Providence (of course, her husband is not absolutely above God), meaning that she should treat her husband as if he were God; this is beneficial for her. The most interesting thing is that God is pleased with such an attitude of a wife towards her husband; such a woman receives everything.

Not quite. Everything we do – we do ourselves, solely based on our choices.

I meant that we do not control our physical body ourselves (we do control it, but indirectly, that is, we control our body through desires), but it is directly controlled by Paramatma – the localized aspect of God, God in the heart of every living being. We desire, and Paramatma controls our body, that is, it does what we want (but in accordance with our karma). Choice is a consequence of our desires; we desire and choose ourselves, but our desires depend on many factors, from communication, from upbringing, from activities in previous lives, and much more. A living being in the material world can only desire and regret its desires. And the link you provided contains a very good and interesting article.
