INTELLIGENCE REDUCES THE 'PROCESS' AND THE 'PROCESSING' IN THE MIND.
Mind is a function, i.e. an activity. Mind function does not need, and does not have a Space to act upon. Therefore, to have more activity on the Part of the Mind, the function itself has to speed up.
The purpose of all Mind functions is to UNDERSTAND all the things 'observed' by the mind, thus this understanding leading to PERCEPTION of the 'observed', which in turn give rise to the mental sate of Awareness of the perceived.
'Observation' is the stimulant and beginning of the Mind process or function and Awareness is the outcome of the function.
As a simple example, when one 'observes' an apple tree, he perceives it to be an apple tree and then become aware of it henceforth, though he may not observe it anymore.
But if he could not understand, i.e. could not perceive, it as an apple tree, then he would have to 'observe' again and again, and try to think 'what this tree is?', until he perceives it as such, i.e. understanding it.
Understanding, i.e. Perception, requires intelligence. That is being able to see the relationship, i.e relating the tree outside to the knowledge and the image of the tree in the Memory.
Hence, INTELLIGENCE speeds up and reduces the Mind Process (function), may be to one single processing, thus Freeing the mind of continuous repetitive thinking, which Reduces the Suffering caused by the thinking, without Understanding.
Therefore, for an intelligent one, less explanations are needed to make him understand. He understands quickly and suffers less.
