Intelligence Quotient - Svadhyaya
Emotional Quotient - Satsang
Spiritual Quotient - Sadhna
It's not just the small morsel of sweet handed
out after religious rituals,
It's the MERCY of the LORD.
Real intelligence is not just the
ability to process information.
Intelligence is the ability to
discriminate between the
short- term and the longterm, the material and the
spiritual and the harmful
and the beneficial.
Real satsang is the
association of those
who have sadachara.
The ability to responsibly
manage our own emotions
and maturely respond to the
emotions of others comes by
observing and imbibing the
example of selfless saints
Our daily spiritual discipline,
sadhana, rejuvenates us through
contact with God and helps us
stay focused on our life's goals spiritual and material
The easiest and most effective
sadhana in the current cosmic
age is chanting of the holy
names of God
