Virtues Enhances Intelligence Quotient

Virtues means behavior showing high moral standards. And it is synonymous with goodness, integrity , honesty, purity, charity etc. When person is thinking and behaving on basis of above virtues, then it is proved that his intelligence quotient can enhance itself up to it's upper limit. 

According to Indian philosophy also, it is stated that when actions of a person are based on virtues, Tatv Praman , then his intelligence( buddhi) can reach it's  optimum , at Gross (sthul) and Subtle (sukshm) levels. May be here we must seek vice a versa constitution of use of intelligence. 

If someone is adapting vices i.e. immoral or wrong behavior then there is always association with negative emotions as anger, jealousy, egotism etc then under such influences , this person's intelligence may seem at high IQ status but can never obtain optimum level. So much of thinking power or energy is consumed over negative emotions and thus such person can't achieve subtle and greater levels of IQ. It also hampers intellectual growth of person itself, his near associated family and , company, society too faces no growth scenario after a while. 

Immediate effects of intelligent person based on vices may appear to achieve some gains at level of money, fame etc levels but long term benefits of prosperity, health, and peace are never acquired. So it's our wise choice to adopt virtues and enhance our IQ for short term as well as long term whole benefits, may be it will require more efforts and more patience at initial phase but prosperity and optimum IQ with satisfaction is guaranteed.

Be Aware, Be Intelligenence fit

Food habits, state of mind does influence our intelligence. One should be aware of this knowledge and also self analysis at present situation. Awareness it self is knowledge and intelligence. 

Let's discuss some such daily situations; in morning hours I was working quite hard and work was primarily lot of thinking; so my brain consumed oxygen and sugar in same proportion. My intelligence at this level is relatively dulled and needs pampering. If the food available is what I like then such food not only provides nutrition and calories to my brain but it supplies joy by stimulating my satiety centre thus providing add on energy to brain , this is subtle energy but it's very powerful too.

So my intelligence illuminates with more perception power and more expression power! Mind one thing here, your favourite food must not be fast food but wholesome meal is important. Once in a while fast food does provide this magical effect, but not always. Otherwise, make balance meal as your  favourite food; since mind can be trained, one can inculcate such positivity. 

Now let's talk about mind sate and it's relation with intelligence. When I am doing (working on) my favourite project, then I am more focused, my creativity is at it's optimum best, my perception and acceptance is wider and more importantly I can do more qualitative and quantitative work at less physical and mental energy consumption so my total energy is conserved. Sometimes I gain more energy in such favorable situations. Say , when you can complete your project in time with maximum accuracy then you feel satisfied and feel more energetic. This is subtle fact that satisfaction does restores energy pool. In such intellectual phases, Indian Philosophy states that your Mann and Buddhi are in harmony with Cosmic Thinking Bank and Universal Power Store so this link provides you new ideas, more vitality , more enthusiasm and glimpses of wisdom. The secret here is Your Creativity links you with Power of the Creator itself! Of course, it's your choice to  believe and accept this Fact or not. I leave it you . But experiences and theories have proved one thing that if your profession is according to your nature( Swabhav) , likings  capacity then you can earn name, fame, success, money and Bonus Mental Peace and Physical Health.  

Else just try to blend your mind in liking the field, you are working in, now. Though it generates friction initially, mind can be trained with self confidence and expert guidance. But mind it, that favourable mind state helps easy and powerful flow of creativity, and lead to personal as well as cosmic benefits.

Happiness enhances Intelligence Quotient

Happy and pleasant state helps in total equilibrium of body and mind. In such state even Endorphins come into action and refresh the neuronal structures, so such person can achieve the near most state of Intelligence expression. Exactly apposite to this is state of sadness and anger, where neuro-chemical secretion either makes the neuronal functions dull or throws it in chaos. Then even the person with higher intelligence expresses weird results. 

Indian Philosophy states the optimum Intelligence Quotient as, the IQ which serves the intellectual purpose at it's highest level, which in tern beneficial at personal level as well as universal level. Even those intellectual inventions which are serving us{humans) but are harmful to Nature are not supposed to be optimum intelligent expressions. Likewise happiness, balanced state of mind and satisfaction are pre requisite of optimum IQ and are by products of same too. But talking about  day to day routine situations even pretension of happiness, fake smile on face at least work at superficial level and serve the purpose of at least bit improvement in IQ. 

So sometimes it is said by the Wise People that" at least pretend to be happy and force a smile on your face, rather than playing with blues and anger and jealousy. Because comparatively it is useful to you and others too. "

Refine Your Aptitude

There is always margin for more, say learn more, practice more, improve more, Be more optimistic etc. and this is important in process of refining the Aptitude. 

Out of 9 types of Aptitude, Intra-personal is the one to start with. Indian Philosophy quotes " pindi te Bramhandi" which explain " know your Self thoroughly and you can understand the Universe." 

In this journey of Self Analysis or Assessment, one has to be aware of one's 

1.Abilities, 

2.Emotions, 

3. Surrounding situational requirements 

4. Inherited qualities 

5.Acquired qualities. 

If jotting down above 5 points scale is bit difficult , then one should seek experts advise. Next step is , cultivate the practice of everyday planner which includes reading quality books, attending small group discussion based on line of planned profession, and very important is  the process of internship i.e. one must learn practically under supervision of experts in those respective fields. And then at the end of day, self analysis.

  

Lets elaborate more on the subject of internship, if someone is planning a carrier in administration field, then he must approach the same department, and work there just for understanding and experiential learning. In the process of medical field, internship is the vital period for practical knowledge. Even after planned internship, if one feels the need of more experience based learning for more refinement, then it's a valuable process and important decision for making one's Aptitude more strong, impressive and ultra refined.

Expression of Words Shows Your Emotional Intelligence

'Emotional Q' can be evaluated by tests. But our day to day conversation also helps in such evaluation. Everyone uses few special words most frequently, it may happen unknowingly, but these frequently used words are windows for emotional world within that person! 

How our brain process these words? From where they come? Mostly such words we percieve from listening to near and dear ones or reading. If one gets associated emotional experience linked with the word, then that particular word gets imprinted. Such imprinted words may have links of emotional bondings and/or strong acceptance in thoughts. 

Let's make it more pragmatic, if the college going lad is frequently nagged by parental suggestions, then his/her rebellion cum irritation can be seen in their frequently pronounced specific words as F*** off. Person with poetic mind, who is immersed in beauty of nature, also perceive beauty in world uses the word Beautiful.  

If we listen to Two successful and confident people conversation, they both use the special frequent words s " I think, I know." Person who is bit introvert can be heard saying "Hmmm" word frequently. Sophisticated and polite person's frequently used words are "May I" "please let me know",,"as per your convenience"etc.  Arrogance and over confidence usually can be heard with  abusive or hurting words for others. 

Now coming to crisp end of our subject, such frequently used special words surely shows EQ of a person but few may fake and pretend by using such words as covers, but experts can make out the truth behind pronounced words by judging the tone and vibrations of pronunciations.

Multiple Intelligence 9. Existential Intelligence

Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as, what is the meaning of life? Why do we die? How did we get here? etc. is known as Existential Intelligence. 

Every person think deeper, about Self existence, at least once in life time, but the One who persistently think and crave for Origin, develop this type of Intelligence. Commonly in teenage stage, go through, phase of such questionnaire, and here is the very important opportunity to inform them . Usually guidance must be done by older and wiser person. Since Existential Intelligence is the Core of all other intelligences, by developing this, we are watering the Roots. 

In all religions usually rituals are there, to initiate such learning. Existential Intelligence is the Spiritual journey. In Indian Philosophical literature, at the age of 7, this teaching is initiated by doing the ritual called as Maunj , and is done so by  Gayatri Mantra . Then the child is ready to go to Gurukul, to learn. Gradually narrating the traditional stories which explain the formation of our very Earth, Plant Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Evolution process in Human beings and the most important information about the God and Oneness of His Existence! 

Let the child, young one ask questions , parents should try to answer, but it's always advisable, that, the learned one must guide, to avoid misconception. Reading and group discussion amongst wise people can enhance this Existential Intelligence. 

The Ved, Upanishad, Geeta, the Holy Quran, the Holy Bible, the Granth Sahib, the PanchSheel of Tathagat Buddha, are the Enlighten Books, which lead to enhancement of Existential Intelligence. Aham Bramhasmi is the Soham practice to attend , Existential experience with the grace of Sadguru, and is known as highest of Existential Intelligence.

Multiple Intelligence 8. Naturalistic Intelligence

Ability to recognize and categories plants, animals and other objects in nature is known as Naturalistic Intelligence. 

Add on objective in this definition is, it deals with sensing patterns in and making connections to elements in nature. But Indian Philosophy defines this type of intelligence, completely and more precisely, as Nature's five elements are panch mahabhute and are worshipped. 

Also Nature is worshipped as Nisarg Devata. Gratitude and worship are two most powerful emotional and intellectual aspects of Naturalistic Intelligence. 

So only flora and fauna categorisation is not the Natural Intelligence but, to love, care and conserve the Nature is the Natural Intelligence. When we watch National Geography channel then the whole  team who capture the beauty of nature have higher naturalistic intelligence. Botanical scientists , zoological scientists are at higher levels of naturalistic intelligence. 

Even the civil engineer who builds the structure which is nature friendly or he plants the sapling after construction is done. Person who loves pets have moderate naturalistic intelligence but those who sympathies and empathise with plants , animals birds, fishes is much more intelligent. 

Have you seen Plant hugging, as therapy? Yes it helps for physical and emotional detoxification, but it needs naturalistic intelligence. Those social workers, government members who act in preservation of  forests, planting at hill slopes are very respected naturalistic intelligent people. This type of Intelligence actually empowers the person from Within. Be Naturalistic intelligent and experience for your self.

Multiple Intelligence 7. Intrapersonal Intelligence

Capacity to be self aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes, is known as Intra personal intelligence. 

This intelligence is core of personality. The person who is aware of Self, can empathise with others. In other words, all high intra personal intelligence persons can become high interpersonal intelligent people by choice. For true success and satisfaction in life,  one must have high Intra personal intelligence. 

This type of intelligence doesn't differentiate between  superiority complex and inferiority complex. High interpersonal intelligence can be seen in academicians, researchers, literati, (poets, novelists), entrepreneurs , visionaries etc. 

Why and how, there is low Intra personal intelligence? Let's take one example, in group discussion, if the person is not firm on his own beliefs and values then usually such persons  may talk aggressively but wise can see, hollow base of speech. Such persons are not reliable. On the contrary, the self aware person is confident and clear about planning strategies and thus is reliable. 

According to Indian Philosophy this type of intelligence is of two levels, sthul (gross) and sukshm (subtle). At gross levels our inner feelings are also gross e.g. likes, dislikes and emotions . Values and beliefs at gross level are usually based on our surroundings (family, society) and upbringing state. And thinking process at gross level is result of memories, learning, experiential understanding , reading etc. While subtle Intra personal intelligence  all factors are directly related to inborn talents, spiritual orientation and guidance by Sadguru. This type of intelligence is interconnected to next type, existential intelligence.

Multiple Intelligence 6. Interpersonal Intelligence

Capacity to detect and respond appropriately ,to the moods, motivations and desires of other is defined as Interpersonal Intelligence. 

This is not only essential in working sections but it's very needed in day to day life. Family bonding, friend circle, social relation ships are based on this intelligence. 

This capacity in Indian Philosophy is known as MannKavade . Mann and Buddhi are two aspects of Thinking Source, and above mentioned things as desires, likings, moods are related to Mann.

 For this type of intelligence  one has to be empathetic with others, and then accordingly behave , to nurture the good relation. This intelligence doesn't claim to make others always happy or pampering but it respect others point of view, understand it and then takes the decision in well fare of all. 

Thus high interpersonal intelligence is the quality of Leader. Leadership in any field say from class monitor to social representative, group leader in industry or political leader. Human Resource Department members need such type of intelligence as basic criteria of duty. Interpersonal intelligence excels in fields like social media, entertainment media, spying fields, Interpol carriers etc. 

Such interpersonal intelligence can be viewed in those persons who are  truly popular amongst people, successful counsellors, and cream sections of white collar jobs. At basic levels, all our family members like Aajji, Nani, Mausi are the high intelligence persons who have acquired interpersonal intelligence by experiences of life and love towards family. They are better than professional counsellor since along with intelligence , love and care and sincerity is at higher level. 

This type of intelligence is highest in spiritual personality, since they think and act for welfare of others at absolutely selfless basis. They are the best leaders too, as they leads mankind towards Ultimate Bliss. 

Multiple Intelligence 5. Musical Intelligence

Ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch, and timber is known as Musical Intelligence. This intelligence is integral part of our personality. 

In the womb, mothers heart beats rhythm is the first perception. Songs by mother for her child is most developed musical intelligence ,since it comes through heart and is perceived by other heart. 

And still higher to this , musical intelligence can be seen in devotees who forget themselves in praising their God. Bhajans, Aarati, Sufi songs, songs at Church,  all types of prayers  and deeply spiritual oriented songs shows immense power of musical intelligence. 

Playing the musical instrument is next aspect of this intelligence. Understanding the pitch and timber and then reproducing them, is very skilful job. And it needs concentration, devotion and daily practice too. Few generations back, musical intelligence was mistaken for limited group of people and thus was not so popular in carrier selection . 

Art and business can not go hand in hand was the myth. But now a days, movies, TV and live shows have given the golden glow to musical intelligence. Since this intelligence is applicable to the artist as well as listeners equally, so along with back ground music direction, making advertisements , jingles, advising perfect pitch for famous speakers, DJ, radio jockeying etc. these are very attractive carriers amongst us. 

Thus now a days musical intelligence not only provide the emotional and psychological joy but it is economically promising too. This intelligence helps us to enjoy our self as well as to express too. Be with Music, Be with your Self.

Multiple Intelligence 4. Kinesthetic Intelligence

Bodily or Kinesthetic Intelligence is defined as an ability to control one's body movements and to handle objects skilfully. This intelligence is needed in association with all other types for performance. 

Perception by skin is very important, it has emotional intelligence too. Baby's primary perceptions are through mother's touch. This bodily intelligence develop with experience. Have you seen , how the toddler climb steps? He takes judgement of hight with Kinesthetic intelligence. 

To develop this intelligence, we always ask parents to take child into nature,like park, where child can touch and feel soft fur of dog, roughness of rock, touch of leaf this helps a lot in improving Kinesthetic intelligence.

Next aspect of this intelligence is seen highly developed in classical dancers. Bharatnatyam, Katthak, Bale, traditional rain dancing are best exercises to improve Kinesthetic intelligence. Very beautiful control on bodily movements at even subtle levels can be seen in expert dancers. 

Next feature of skilfully handling of objects can be improved with art and crafting. This is so necessary in all types of workshops. While doing surgeries, operating computers, designing models, robotics etc and so many modalities need Kinesthetic intelligence.

Kinesthetic intelligence is the beautiful link between art and science, and is necessary for performance.

Multiple Intelligence 3. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence

This is defined as, ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical and numerical patterns. Mathematics is geometry and algebra, theoretical and numerical. Most important basic fact is, Mathematics is the Mother of All the science factors. 

So this Logical intelligence is considered as integral intelligence of personality. Mathematical intelligence need not be studied in schools only, this statement may appear weird but it's commonly seen that vegetable merchants do calculation of 1 dozen banana, 2 kg potato, 1 kg onion faster than us and that too without calculator. 

Logical means mathematical, it explain further one important thing, that any theory to be proved needs mathematical model. Thus this logical intelligence is the link between imaginations, virtual thinking and reality, proof, experience. 

To enhance this intelligence, one need to learn mathematics in traditional ways and/or education and then practice it in daily routine. Application of mathematical intelligence frequently in daily buying helps a lot. 

Vedic mathematics is the best way to improve logical intelligence. Indian Philosophy states Vedic Ganeet as base of Shastra. Let me share one fact, Sanskrit language and mathematics are interlinked, even updated computers accept Sanskrit language as priority. If you remember, in our generation our grandparents taught us Sanskrit mantra, 

Bhagavad Geeta Aadhyay, RamRaksha, every evening along with recitation tables (Padhe). Chanting and recitation helps to improve Smruti,( deep memory) an important factor for logical and abstract thinking. Numerical patterns must be learned with writing, drawing and then application. Thus in brief, logical, mathematical intelligence improvisation needs, learning, understanding, regular practice and application. Please, help yourself and your kids to fall in love with mathematics, it is really wonderful

Multiple Intelligence. 2. Spatial/Visual Intelligence

Spatial or Visual Intelligence is capacity to think in images and to visualise accurately and abstractly. This intelligence is usually seen in expertise of civil, architecture engineering, interior designers, surgeons, fashion designers, mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, pilots etc.  

In such situations abstract measurement of space and dimensions along with logical imaginations is combined. Imagine the intelligence of civil engineer who is drawing blue print for his construction site, sitting in his office. 

Understand how genius is the surgeon's spatial intelligence who operates on various patients having different sizes, shapes and age. With his anatomical study, doctor has to do abstract imaginations to locate organ e.g. appendix( part of intestine) and avoid injury to artery or nerve. Best surgeons do very clean operation since their spatial intelligence is very high. 

Thus this intelligence is mainly related to judgement of dimensions length, breadth, hight, distance. Also this intelligence includes discrimination between two shapes, structures, or objects. Aesthetic sense and creativity is also integral part of spatial intelligence. 

May I say here, the  beholder of spatial intelligence is the person who has tremendous power of judgement which can bring logical imaginations in Reality in the Forms.

Multiple Intelligence - Verbal Intelligence

Let's know about all 9 intelligence factors of multiple intelligence. This is Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence (MI). But here we are also understanding Indian Philosophical views. The first and foremost being, Verbal or Linguistic intelligence(VI). It is defined as well developed verbal skills and Sensitivity to the sounds meanings and rhythms of words.  

VI is essential in Aptitude tests. Verbal skills development needs regular practice of expressing yourself, in group. To enhance this skill we usually ask for family get together sessions. At family level, if there is need of some decision making then parents must ask their pupil to speak  their views and thoughts. This helps primary development of verbal skill. Confidence and well to put words are important factors in VI. 

At school and college levels, group studies must include group discussion, this furthermore adds in skill and confidence. Small speeches at  school also add on VI. 

Now we know about how to improve verbal  skill , so let's understand next level of VI. Sensitivity to the sounds meanings is relatively more subtle and needs more emotional intelligence. Your pronunciation of sentence and your  sound conveys your meanings at superficial and deep levels. Meanings can be perceived  in two ways with way of pronounced words and sound of words. So one has to be very careful about," how I Sound". Rhythms of words are again more subtle factor of VI. Sound and Rhythm actually makes verbal skill properly aesthetic and impressive. With this one can make sound positive impact with Verbal power. 

With lack of these skills, though you may be intelligent, it may or may not be perceived by others. Indian Philosophy states very importantly here, that, your good intentions, and your good nature, purity of one's heart , naturally comes in your Total Verbal Intelligence. So be It.

I Love My India

On this occasion of Republic Day of India, let's contribute in National Prosperity. 

Sujalam, Sufalam is our Bharat Mata. Sujalam means water storage in India, as rivers, wells, lakes etc. all give life and  nutrition to us, also in our Sanskriti we worship rivers as Goddess and wells and lakes as Tirth. Ocean is the God. 

All these things are explained scientifically, in Indian Philosophy. In this matter of Prosperity of Water, we can contribute by saving water (rain water harvesting), using sprinklers in farming,avoiding wastage of water in daily usage and very importantly doing tree plantation to maintain seasonal cycle. Projects for avoiding water pollution, cleansing of lakes and wells and rivers are very important, here we can contribute at personal levels by educating people around us, even taking good care of society's water storage tanks. 

Next level of National Treasure is farming, Sufalam states the definition that our soil is so rich in nutritional factors that it bears the fruits which are rich in nutrients. We worship our land as BhuDevi, and She blesses us with Dhan Dhanya. As Indians we basically are KrushiPradhan, and so we should contribute in farming, directly and/or indirectly. As proud Indian parents, we must cherish patriotism and pass it on to our next generation. 

One day per week one family must provide food to one needy, poor family, doing so we are directly contributing to prosperous factor of Bandhu Bhav. Our Sanskriti , our Dnyan, Heritage is our Treasure and we must preserve and protect  this by actually understanding and following our Rituals. Let's be aware (Sujan) and worship our MahanMangal Bharat Mata.

Cinema And Albums Making Alcohol, Smoking As Routine

While understanding views of school going kids about alcohol and smoking, I was stunned to realise one thing, that, 80% of them don't think "it's Bad or Dangerous" for them, it is casual and if somebody is smoking or drinking alcohol, then "so what? It's OK" is their comment. 

Just one generation back, these bad habits were considered seriously bad. But now a days Bollywood songs like 'char  bottle vodka', 'Johnny Johnny, maine pi nahi', 'la lla la lla lory, daru ki katori', 'mai alcoholic hu', so many hit (?) and popular songs are directly singing about alcohol. When innocent children sing such songs, then sub consciously their mind is accepting, this as normal and OK. Watching advertisements about soda, are links to alcohol and brainy kids know it too well. 

If parents do smoke and/drink alcohol, even if one tries to hide it from their kids, kids know it anyway. This is indirect acceptance as well as encouragement to kids towards bad habits. If such kids start, any of these poisons in early life as mid teen age, then they are highly prone for liver diseases, cardiac disorders, infertility, Alzheimer's,  etc. 

So what is the strategy to prevent such complications? Can we restrain  children from watching TV, Movies? Can we start campaign, against such songs, movies? In Hollywood movies, alcohol is simply OK , because very cold weather, needs such support, is the view. But, are we going to follow this blindly?simply as craze? Our Sanskriti never allow us to consume such poisons. To prevent this, we can't restrict our children from various exposures, but we have to talk with them , regularly. Parents should confide in pupil, and request him/her, not to fall pray to such habits. 

Emotional instabilities at home fronts lead to consumption of drugs. So communication in friendly manner, faith in relations , conservation of tradition are necessary. Every month either mother or father must listen to their kid, know about their friend circle, recent topics of discussion in class/school. Parents has to show respect and love towards kid in proper manner. Balance between pampering and strict rearing is must. Friendly talk about views on smoking and alcohol, followed by careful and informative talk which must not be boring, is essential. Parents, please be aware and take Good Care! It starts, of course with, Yourself First! Avoid smoking and consumption of alcohol. Be Healthy and Really Happy!!

Importance of Bland Diet in Building Immunity and Stamina

Tasty, spicy, sweet, hot and sour, cheesy, tangy,fried....food, variety, always attracts us! 

Yes, everybody loves tasty food. Every person is foodie. Accordingly choices vary but food is always a considering factor of joy and happiness. Satiety after food lasts quite long. Now in such scenario, how we can focus on the types of food which are comparatively tasteless, bland? But if these types of meals add on to your Physical as well as Psychological Stamina, then I am sure, we are wise enough to accept bland diet irrespective of disliking of our tongue and mind. 

Bland diets help our mind to focus on day to day targets, in better way. Fried and spicy food rather blurs this focus. With bland diet, one can  control emotions very well. Indian Philosophical explanation in this matter, is, Satvik Aahar helps in strengthening the Buddhi Tej and controlling the Mann (mind). It also provide strength to liver and spleen, thus enhancing immunity. 

Now we are curious to know, about these type of food. And they are, cow's milk, ghee, buttermilk,, fruits,  Rice and Wheat  products as, floor, flakes and puffs. Flakes (poha) are compressed products. While puffs(lahi) are baked products. Plain boiled rice with ghee and salt, freshly prepared chapati with ghee and salt, must be consumed at least 3 times a week. Wheat puffs baked in pinch of butter and salt are best for breakfast. Warm milk without sugar or any additives is best before sleep. In traditional food preparations like Chinese, on can choose veg clear soups with lot of vegetables and noodles without ajinomoto and less of spices, garlic and onion. You may also eat plain bread with application of ghee or butter, as was the practice of earlier European civilization.  These types of meals should be consumed at least 3 to 4 times per week. Other menu can be tasty nutritional meals with delicacy. These bland diets, in addition to improving stamina also, enhances respect and value to tasty foods. Otherwise if we eat daily, tasty food, then we may get monotonous and bored with it. 

So in viewing this whole perspective of bland diet, the final conclusion is , to try it and take benefit of it. Gradually you surely like such food and love it too. For this bit patience is needed initially,as we are used to tasty bites. Just try, this one, if you eat chapati, and chew it, then within 30 seconds, it tastes sweetish. Likewise when you love yourself, then you will definitely love plain and simple food too.

What Is Behind One Action?

When we see one action (Kruti), before that there is thought process (Vichar)and emotion (bhavana). Thinking is like a blue print, and sometimes it takes place in conscious level and many a times at sub concious level. Emotion can be gross, which is felt by the person and sometimes it's so subtle that it's not perceived properly. 

Let's take some example, to cook veg biryani for her kids with a different flavour is the action by mother, it has thinking pattern coming as memory from past experience as well as innovative, creative thinking too. There is emotion as care and love felt towards kid by mother. So all these 3 are seen or perceived very well by the mother as well as any third person as an observer. 

Now let's consider other example of action, daughter-in-law not obeying some tips given by her mother in law. When her husband asks her politely "Why you are not following my mother's suggestions?" Then she replies innocently(?) " why? no, I don't mean to hurt her. " Now here always the thinking pattern of defining self respect or a rebel and emotion of anger or sorrow is surely there, to show absent mindedness. Now according to personality, these thoughts and emotions can be gross or subtle but they are always there, so no need to deny it. Any right or wrong action/deed is always associated with like wise thoughts and emotions, this is Simple and Sure Theory. So if someone is determined to do good deeds(Satkarm) then as a priority, one has to cultivate  good thoughts and practise positive emotions first. Then easily actions will be good. If someone wants to work successfully then one has to have Visions of success and emotional conviction too. This Trilogy of Action, Thinking and Emotion should be channelised well to attain ultimate Satisfaction and Bliss.

Laziness Can Be Sign Of Fatigue

Once in a while, in the winter season, feeling sleepy even after 8am is fine. But if you are being persistently called lazy at various levels, then it is a matter of concern. In case of children, signs of laziness are mostly  due to lack of interest in that particular subject. Parents must take due care either to enhance the interest or talk with the kid. Many a times child is lazy in doing home work. But here one must give ample of play time to the kid before asking the child to complete homework. In teenager girls, if menstrual cycle is started then harmonal changes and relative anaemia may be the causes of laziness. Over expectations from parents or teachers may lead to emotional fatigue and thus may present as rebellion laziness. Calcium and zinc deficiency also leads to easy fatiguebility seen as laziness. Thus prolonged laziness must be investigated and diagnosed at physical as well as emotional level. It's treatment needs moral support, understanding, nutritional supplimentation, discipline and care. In adults laziness is commonly seen in case of increased cholesterol , thyroid problems, anaemia, cardiac problems etc. So if somebody is lazy at home then please don't just tease the person but find out the causes first, treat them and then only apply discipline.

Is Anger Contagious ?

Anger is taken casually so many times. If something goes wrong one gets angry, this situation is accepted as normal phenomenon. Sometimes anger is also termed as logical, and reasonable too. What exactly is this anger? Emotion? Expression? Reaction? Yes it is one and/or all but it is never reasonable or logical. If one person is in state of anger, then the other persons who are in empathetic or sympathetic state also feels this anger, and those who are prey/target  to this anger too react with anger. This triggering of chain reaction can only be stopped by  love and peace. Forgiving is also beneficial. 

Expression of anger is mostly contagious as seen in daily scenes, if in office boss yells at subordinate, then this angry subordinate, expresses his anger sooner or later. If anger is repressed then also aura of such angry person leads to triggering the anxiety in other person, who are in vicinity. Many a times it's seen that if mother is with repression of anger then her child is representing cranky nature or irritability. New born's, toddlers are frequently seen prone to anger crying if parents are angry and fighting. It seems that mirror neurons in our brain play this role. 

In a mob, this anger spreads like wild fire. For some negligible reason, mass anger hysteria has shown destructive and inhuman reactions. Anger is as volatile as fuel gas, it's contagious too. To be safe from these things, one has to become strong immunity wise. Peace and Love is the key to enhance this immunity. If I sense, anger is being invoked in me, then immediately I should balance myself and pacify my own mind. 

Yes, it can be practised. If I see someone angry then either I should stay away till the wave is over or I must have my own shield of self peacefulness. Indian Philosophy insists on one very important thing, anger must be controlled and then cease fire is must, since anger does  real harm to the person who is angry and less harm to whom anger is expressed. Hyper acidity, insomnia, high BP, migraine, ulcers, cancer are few known side effects of chronic anger syndrome. Many names are yet to be nominated. Be aware and take good care of yourself , Please!
