Session 1 : Undertsanding Intelligence – Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
Session 2 : Understanding Intelligence – Emotional Quotient(EQ)
Session 3 : Understanding Intelligence – Spiritual Quotient (SQ)
Session 4 : Intelligence and the sources of misery
All our ordinary actions and perceptions depend on various forms of energy supplied to us by nature in various combinations. Our senses of perception and action and also our subtle senses, namely (1) mind, (2) intelligence and (3) ego are supplied to us by various arrangements of gross or subtle forms of natural energy. Our objects of perception are nothing but the products of the inexhaustible permutations and combinations of the forms taken by natural energy.
It is definite that matter and spirit are two different identities, and this conclusion is arrived at by the use of intelligence. Intelligence gives one direction like some higher authority, and the living being cannot see or move or eat or do anything without the use of intelligence. When one fails to take advantage of intelligence he becomes a deranged man, and so a living being is dependent on intelligence or the direction of a superior being. Such intelligence is all-pervading. Every living being has his intelligence, and this intelligence, being the direction of some higher authority, is just like a father giving direction to his son.
