Spiritual Quotient - Pravrajika Divyanandaprana

Importance of Spirituality Quotient :
Spiritual quotient (SQ) is a measure that looks at a person’s spiritual acumen; it is as important as intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional quotient (EQ). While IQ looks at cognitive intelligence, EQ looks at emotional power of a person and spiritual quotient (SQ) looks at spiritual power of a person. Spirituality increases the ability of a person to be creative and to be aware and insightful. The power of intuition and awareness can be increased with help of spirituality. Why SQ is even more important in today’s time? It helps tremendously coping up and do away with modern problems of terrorism, inconsiderateness, lack of humanness. The concept of Spiritual Quotient (SQ) is fast emerging as the next big aspect of scientific study as it directly correlates to a person’s awareness and consciousness.
Human beings have five senses: sight (eyes), hearing (ears), taste (tongue), smell (nose), and touch (sensatory). Spirituality is the ability to recognize that there is intelligence beyond our five senses. There is universal power that creates and governs everything within and beyond the worlds we know, and that power is omnipresent. We can surrender to this supreme intelligence through our awareness. We call this universal power by different names as per our religious faith. Spirituality makes things easier for us to go through the life’s journey with all its ups and downs. It makes our lives happier.
Spirituality exists within us: it does not require great efforts from our side to search it. Spiritual wisdom doesn’t need to involve fables and mysticism. It does not require to be linked to organized religion, although people with strong religious faith often experience high levels of well-being. Living happily depends on how much we are at peace with our inner self, our core - our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and desires. Our spiritual dimension gives us strength to find a sense of inner peace of both peace of mind and peace in the heart. It allows our inner values to steer through peaceful interactions with the world around us. It develops our concern for others, our concern for Mother Nature, and other living beings and it improves our conscious effort to make a positive contribution to society.
The importance of spirituality has been historically neglected in education. Even educational branches such as medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and psychotherapy lack spirituality aspect. The importance of Emotional Intelligence or EQ has been established; spirituality needs have not been systematically researched, examined and studied.
SQ makes us more responsible of ourselves, family, society, our surrounding, our country and then our universe too. It helps us to interconnect our personal vision with the larger good of humanity. It makes us more humble in our perspective. To a great extent it reduces our selfish intentions. We, human beings, carry big egos, and want to feel all important. We tend to get swayed with our power, status and money. We never realize if we are that important in this world. Our arrogance or our humility spoils our relations with so many people. Human race has progressed on innumerable innovations made. With each innovation, the level of comfort enjoyed is higher. But, are we really happier? Though we have made materialistic progress, though we have too many comforts compared to previous generations are we really happier? Here is where spirituality helps us to find our inner peace of mind. A long and healthy life is important for any individual. Ill-health can either halt one’s progress or, even if one succeeds, result in the ‘gifts’ of a heart disease, blood pressure or diabetes. A happy individual also builds a happy family and society.
Spiritual Quotient therefore is the ability of an individual to see his personal vision and the consequent endeavor to achieve the same through the understanding of the larger good to the society, bringing good health and happiness to him and the world at large. An in-depth review that compared spirituality and religiousness to other health interventions found that people with a strong spiritual life had an 18% reduction in mortality. Giancarlo Lucchetti, lead author of the study, calculates that the life-lengthening benefits of spirituality can be compared to eating a high amount of fruits and vegetables or taking blood pressure medication.
The question that might come to mind after reading the above is - why do we need to be spiritual to realize these fairly straightforward implications? The answer is simple - unless we set apart time in our daily busy schedule to make steady progress in our spiritual journey, we will not get time to even think about these issues. Spirituality brings depth to an individual’s approach and perspective towards leading a more meaningful life.

Thank you very much Matha Ji for your excellent elucidation of fundamentals of life. I learnt from your explanation that SQ is the basement of all forms of intelligence human trying to express in this world. It is my blessing to follow your speeches with excellent analogy which is enriching my life. Thank you very much for your service.

No doubt the video content is incredible! I'm a regular follower / binge watcher. Had been following her discourses since last 2yrs. I'm deeply grateful to respected Sister and this channel for uploading the videos. What I'm abt to say is nominal/secondary/not a big deal. It's abt the video title, I think it can be more related to the 'overall' video content. For Instance: As per the video title, i looked for SQ stuff exclusively whereas the content in video focused more on brief introduction to 'multiple intelligences'. I had to watch it twice to confirm whether I missed the topic. I found that 'introduction to multiple intelligences' included SQ but not exclusively. So Instead of writing Video's title as 'Spiritual Quotient', 'Multiple Intelligences / Quotients' could be more appropriate.

Sister, IS PRANAM can be said as ATMA

[@ajantasircar3140]

Dear Srinivasa Murthy M ji, Namaskar! I am taking the liberty to reply to your query. Any other enlightened person may please feel free to correct my understanding if I am wrong. Pranam is the aspect of ‘Shakti’, the feminine, in our system ( the body- mind) channelising which we act in this world. And ‘Atman’ is our pure ‘Self’, which when free from the bondage of our accrued Karma related body, can be equated to ‘Brahman’, the masculine aspect. The latter enlivens the body- mind complex, but doesn’t participate. It has a witness- like presence to our being.

[@srinivasamurthym7260]

@@ajantasircar3140 Sister, Will ATMA and PRANAM CAN LEAVE THE BODY AT A TIME. If PRANAM leaves the body, can ATMA be in body. If ATMA leaves body, PRANAM can continue in body. Sister here I reffered body as physical body, mind, sense organs and manassu. I think that in ATMA JNANA there is no masculine and feminine as well as Shakti. Please clarify.

[@ajantasircar3140]

Srinivasa Murthy M ji, every thing in Creation is in the domain of Shakti. Shakti is an inseparable aspect of Brahman. Comaparable to the whiteness of milk or the sheen of gold. Feminine and Masculine ideas are metaphorical and just to help in understanding or to appeal to a Bhakta ‘s spiritual emotions. So Prana doesn’t have any existence independent of the Atman and vice versa.

[@srinivasamurthym7260]

@@ajantasircar3140 Sister, (1)Ok. (2)Please define ATMA And PARMATMA. (3)Both are SAKARA OR NIRAKARA. (4)Can God /Goddess be said as Paramatma. (5).After death of senses organs or body, does ATMA present in the body merges with PARAMATHMA, like ocean water evaporate and fall back in the form of rain, later merges again with ocean. Please explain.

[@ajantasircar3140]

Srinivasa Murthy M ji, I feel happy to share my understanding with you. Thank you for your interest. Paramatman is another word for Brahman the supreme consciousness that pervades everything in creation. It is unfathomable and so is said to be beyond all of creation itself. Creation is only a part of its Virat Roopam. When we come into existence, let’s keep our human birth in perspective to avoid adding too many dimensions to this discussion, the Paramatman or Brahman comes to reside in the temple of our body and mind in the form of our Atman. The genesis of our body and mind are our thoughts and actions (Karma) performed over different births. Atman per se is Nirakara like the Paramatman. But our thought world also being made of subtle matter creates a web of subtle body called as Sukshma Deha. The Atman remains obscured in the web of the sukshma deha. This travels from birth to birth according to the law of Karma till the time the accrued Karma have been exhausted and the need for assuming a human body does not exist. This amounts to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This would include everything body mind senses and all. Yes the Gyani kind of a person, the intellectual likes to believe that God is Nirakara. But the emotional human, the Bhakta, may like to imagine God with a human form. Also it is within The creator’s power to assume any physical form to reciprocate the devotee’s love for him and so through ages devotees have been blessed by the Darshan of the Lord in different forms also. In the words of Shri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, the one who is Kali is also Brahman.
