INTELLECTUAL DIMENSION:
Strength is of four types, ie. The
physical, the mental, the intellectual, and the spiritual intellectual strength
is superior to physical, and mental strength, and hence it forms an important
part of our personality. Though the intellectual faculty is present in everyone
in most of the cases it remains dormant due to lack of proper training and intellectual
exercise. Excessive use of modern electronic gadgets has converted man into a
machine. The result is computers are keeping everything in memory, and we the
human beings, are keeping our memory undeveloped. Originality, creativity, and
deep thinking are taking leave of mankind; and artificiality, imitation and
shallow and superficial thinking are making their presence felt everywhere. 
To cultivate different talent
such as music fine arts, poetry, dance drama etc, creative thinking is
absolutely necessary. Deep thinking brings out the hidden talents in man or
woman in the from of inspiration, which is possible only through the power of concentration.
The power of concentration helps us to grasp subtle and higher things. And here
comes the role of the intellect. Our senses and mind are restless . Since the
intellect is superior to them , it alone can bring them under control . And
therefore , one must develop tremendous will power to control the mind and to
fix it on higher things, to achieve success in life
The mind always tries to deceive us.
It gives us convincing arguments to lead a comfortable life by applying short
cut methods. It does not want to follow any discipline in the name of freedom,
and prefers easygoing life. Sometimes it forces us, even to do wrong things
deviating from the path of righteousness. Hence we need a strong intellect,
which will detect the evil motives of the mind and will assert its strength to
follow the right path, which leads to real success. Therefore, to develop a
strong discriminative and determinative intellect, it is necessary to cultivate
intellectual faculty. Courtesy what is real personality
Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta
It will thus be seen that there
are no watertight compartments among the different YOgas, Karma, Bhakti , and Jnana may, and
often do commingle with one another in the
course fo spiritual practice,
only the temperament of the aspirant will determine which of the three is to
have a dominant influence in his life.
Persons who are slaves of worldly,
desires often glibly assert that they are practising Karma Yoga in the deluded belief
that they work without any personal motive or attachment. They do not realise
that the pat of a true Karma-Yogi is extremely difficult, and that its success
does not depend upon wishful thinking” however strong. One can deceive others;
One can deceive even one’s own self. But one cannot deceive God. Success may be
obtained in other walks of life of life through cleverness or make-belief, but certainly
not in the spiritual domain. Courtesy common sense about yoga
But, if He exists?
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes
rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive
4m.
