Scientific Views and Trends on Fourth Dimension of Personality

Sadguru Thought In Akhand Jyoyi ( july-Aug.03)

 

Human intellect is the source of creation and gigantic expansion of the gamut of activities in life. Sagacity and wisdom are therefore regarded as important for viable success in any area of progressive life as vigor and wealth. The twentieth century has indeed been the age of evolution and sharpening and expansion of human intellect in many respects. Almost all the major discoveries and inventions of the modern era have taken place during the period of past 200 years. These have stood as the milestones of modern scientific civilization. Despite the ascent and maximum use of might, wealth and intellectual talents in this era, we find something missing in terms of overall development and healthy progress when we notice the increasing trends of strives and disputes �� based on skilled arguments and counter-arguments triggered by invidious and egoist thoughts, aplomb and conspiracies �� created by wicked planning of ingenious brains driven by selfish motives. Concerns about this pathetic side of life today remind us of yet another stream of power naturally bestowed on human beings namely, that of bhavasamvedana � sentiments of empathy, love and compassion. The rishis in ancient India had defined the existence of human entity as "Raso Vaisah" which implies the immense importance of this fourth and most intimate and deep dimension of personality. Intellectual development and creativity of talents remains incomplete without the conjunction of emotional purity and benevolence of inner sentiments.

 Realization of this fact has given rise to new trends in modern scientific methods of assessment of human personality. A new psychological parameter called emotional quotient (EQ) is now used along with the intelligence quotient (IQ) as a measure of one�s emotional depth and stability and also of his compassionate and edifying control over the thought process. The EQ is increasingly being given more importance than the IQ in recent studies. At the edge of steep advancement of science and technology, today, the scientific community has by and large realized that incisive thinking and intellectual talents alone cannot lead to ultimate knowledge. Development of emotional sensitivity and elevation of faith in high ideals of humanity is essential for integrated progress of the world. Noted psychologists like Dr. Robert Frost opine that the frequency of occurrence of psychosomatic disorders and mental diseases has today risen up to an alarming level mainly because of the negligence of our emotional being. Even a highly successful industrialist, a billionaire, an efficient manager or anyone else, who has accomplished significantly in the domains of intellectual potentials and talents, remains unsuccessful and backward in terms of complete development of personality if he or she does not possess reasonably high EQ.

Thanks GOD,Thanks Sadguru.
