When Bhagavad Gita states that ahankara is above buddhi it means that

ahankara is more subtle than buddhi, not that ahankara is more intelligent

than buddhi. Ahankara is so subtle that it is hard to detect even by a man

of great intelligence. The brahmanas are the most intelligent, still they

are under the influence of ahankara - the ahankara of thinking they are

brahmanas and very intelligent.
