1084. Biological, Artificial, Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence.



Once a scientist collected a few drops of tears when his wife cried out of joy and clinically compared it with the one that came out when her father passed away. He found no difference at all in the chemical combination. For him it was just a fluid which was produced by the lacrimal glands in both the occasions. The most important point that scientist had missed was the feelings that had made the tears ooze out at the different incident. The flow of tears is due to the Biological Intelligence (also called Natural Intelligence) which happens quite and without making itself felt. Biological intelligence is the basic stuff that keeps going guiding our body to do what is needed to be done. It is paired with the Emotional Intelligence which is the ability of an individual to experience the emotions in them as well as in others.
This pair connects the all conscious and unconscious abilities in the body to link them from genetics to psychology. Having said that, many of the abilities are still unknown to us like the feel good factor created in the hug from mother, the warmth in the touch of the lover or a simple long blink with a nod to the one entering the operation theatre.
Using this pair we can nurture yet two more intelligence. The first is Artificial Intelligence which is to use technology to make machines do things that require intelligence when done by humans. This is a great revolution which conceptualizes the systems that will have robots and humanoids performing the task for humans without getting fatigued. It would be hypocritical to belittle the Artificial Intelligence when I am using this technology to convey my thought to you through a computer. It is overwhelming to find that we humans have used this Artificial Intelligence to serve us, but with the use of Intellect we can let them stay as our good servants rather than letting them be our master. With Artificial Intelligence we have agricultural robot working in corporate farms, the agricultural produce is grown in Sahasra (Excess) but what is the use if there is less of Sara (Essence). Here we need to use our Intellect.
Intellect is Buddhi Shakti and Intelligence is Medha Shakthi, we need not get confused. When the biological intelligence and emotional intelligence work together to create artificial intelligence then it is for the welfare of the individual as well as the society. Here predominantly the Medha Shakti is in use. When the pair uses the Buddhi Shakti the higher dimension of intelligence is activated resulting in the sense of deeper meaning and purpose of the existence. This is called Spiritual Intelligence.  
This Spiritual Intelligence checks and guides the creation process of the Artificial Intelligence and avoids it from becoming a Natural Stupidity. It is that unique qualities which can make the scientist who compared the tears of his wife understand the difference. Spiritual Intelligence is uniquely distinct from religion and dogmas. Spirit which is viewed as the principle of a conscious life inspires us to use the gained knowledge toward behaving with wisdom and compassion while maintaining equanimity, regardless of the situation.

It is better to know about the Biological Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence before creating Artificial Intelligence. This is only possible if we are inclined towards the ever shining Spiritual Intelligence.
