...Spiritual Intelligence
P.S. A SOUND mind resides in a sound body - as the famous saying goes. Having achieved a sound body, the quest for a sound mind goes on and on in a civilised society to survive and excel harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
In order to get civilised in a strategic manner through education and training, the quest for a sound mind propels. Education trains the mind to think.
The ability to think makes ways for goal-oriented adaptation to the surrounding and the people.
Learning through life help develop mental intelligence through repetition and practice; emotional intelligence through adapting to the changing environment and spiritual intelligence through tolerance and forgiveness.
The assessment tools developed to test mental, emotional and spiritual intelligence are complex and controversial which yield quotient viz. Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Spiritual Quotient (SQ) respectively.
The ability to tell that two plus two is 4 implies Mental Intelligence (IQ); adapting to accept that 2 + 2 can be 5, is Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Put 2 mice in a box and 2 more mice in the same box, upon opening after a month, there can be 5 mice, can’t there? Spiritual Intelligence implies 2 + 2 can be infinity - soul out of the body wandering in the Universe - relieved from the materialistic world - ready to tolerate and forgive because our own existence can be equal to Zero without the body, which will perish and the soul will be released to the infinite Universe.
The main four sets of emotions involve the positive reactions of Joy and Pity; and the negative reactions of Envy and Scorn.
It is appreciable that emotional interaction plays a great role in our interpersonal relationship. In order to analyse the emotional interactions, we can suppose being ‘Happy’ to be denoted by a plus sign (+) and being ‘Unhappy’ by a minus sign (-).
Though, it is hard to find another person getting ‘Happy’ (+) when someone is ‘Happy’ (+) say after winning a huge lottery, it is called ‘”Mudita” or Joy (+,+). Mudita is a Hindi word used in Buddism to explain the feeling of joy. Herein, the ‘Happy’ emotion matches between the two persons, which is rare in this materialistic world.
The usual reactive emotion is ‘Unhappy’ after seeing someone ‘Happy’ which is Jealousy or Envy (+, -). The emotions do not match and the two persons are not in harmony.
Then someone is ‘Unhappy’ and upon seeing him another person is also ‘Unhappy’ say after an accident or failure, it is Sympathy or Pity (-,-). The reactive emotion of another person vibrates with the emotion of the sufferer but this is as well rare in this competitive world.
Instead, the rival or enemy will be ‘Happy’ because someone is a failure. This reactive emotion is Schadenfreude or Scorn (-,+). The two persons emotions do not vibrate.
It is commonly experienced that the least common reactive emotions are Joy (+,+) and Pity (-,-).
Mostly, in this materialistic and competitive world people display ‘Jealousy’ or “Ershya” (+,-) and ‘Scorn’ or “ Dwesh” (-,+). Ershya and Dwesh are Hindi words meaning jealousy and scorn respectively.
In order to make this world a better place to live in, we could instead try to turn foes into friends by controlling the negative emotions and building the positive emotions consciously so that the two better emotions: Joy (+,+) and Pity (-,-) are displayed always in harmony with the other person in life.
When the conscience comes into play to choose the right emotions and deeds, it is display of spiritual intelligence. In this "Trickdern" world, which is no more a "Modern" world, conscience is more often than not bent with tricks towards guilty ways of living.
