The "Intelligence" way to awakening

Intelligence, the analytical intelligence, that helps people get noble prizes or set up multi billion dollar corporations is obviously a very powerful tool. Sadly, people almost always use it for their own narrow selves. Thats why, though extremely intelligent, when faced with issues in personal relationships (at office or home), they are unable to understand the basics of suffering in a relationship and when hit, just cant seem to heal the problem.

Usually, its only intense suffering that leads to awakening. When ones life collapses in front of ones own eyes, one starts to question what had one been doing all along and sees the stupidity of assuming the events that happen in ones life to be ones life itself. Then, the change of perception starts to happen - from living a life centered around ones own future, happiness etc, the individual moves towards universal identification and love and therein finds permanent happiness and fulfillment. Unfortunately, suffering seems to be the preferred route to awakening to most of humanity.

Grand unified theory of suffering

But, thankfully, alternatives exist - and one such alternative is the route of intelligence to awakening. Like how darwin painstakingly figured out the grand unifying theory of evolution, if we truly commit ourselves to it, we will also be able to figure out the grand unifying theory of human suffering, just as the Buddha did it. For this, one has to employ ones intelligence in the service of universal compassion. When one can genuinely work on this with total and whole hearted commitment, one can understand the causes of all the violence and immense suffering that humanity has unleashed upon itself. Then, if we find those dark forces within us and if we are motivated by purely not wanting to partake in the madness of violence around us, total awakening becomes a possibility. All other reasons for ones own awakening will be a form of egoic reason and hence will ultimately be futile as awakening itself is about transcending the narrow identification of the ego.

Can we figure out the grand unifying theory of human suffering - not as an intellectual idea that came about in a discussion or from a book or from some guru, but by personally witnessing it?
