Intellectual power

Intellectual power is the valuable wealth provided by God. All types of activities are being performed by creations like worm, insect, animals, and man. But the difference is that, while the other creations eats anything and sleeps anywhere; man is always in search of a comfortable life and good rest.

If man is to be benefit to the world, they should acquire only good knowledge. The very purpose of education is to make student learn only what will be conductive to purposeful living. Thus knowledge alone will distinguish them from others. God residing within each of them will enable them to make life sublime. Every child has a segment of the almighty enshrined in it and so it has to endeavour to make a good citizen and face challenges ahead.

Parents and teacher should impress on children the vital need for a clean life. If there are more people of character and contentment society can be reformed. As said by Swami Sivananda that the mind is like a blotting paper absorbing the bad ideas easily and never throwing them out again. Thoughts of hatred passion and greed should be resisted and driven out. At the impressionable age, the significance of scriptural themes should be taught.

Soul is to be borne as a human being is the result of pious deeds carried out over a number of years. Unfortunately once he is conferred with this privilege, man usually runs after worldly affairs, money, getting fame, raising a fine family and enjoying other benefits. But in this process he fails to understand the very purpose for which God has given him this body.

The human body has been compared to a temple; God is seated in the heart the sanctum- sanctorum. Those who do not realize this fail to experience God’s presence within. The five sense faculties do not allow men to visualize God within. People’ attention is diverted towards seeing and enjoying only the worldly events. The mind of a human being is full of conflicting desires. It is chiefly responsible for de-linking the Almighty from the devotee, who is ever keen to get released from worldly bondage. If it is subdued other senses can easily be tamed. If the mind checks their activities, men can certainly feel that HE from within is constantly guiding him.
