Spiritual Quoetient

We had unique opportunity of being an audience for a discourse by Mr. Sudeep Basu last Thursday at our weekly rotary meeting. Many of us knew Sudeep and a lot of interest was generated during the day. We were really looking forward to listen to him.

We had very learned attendance form Rotarians , very serious and committed. Primarily, those Rotarians who are choosy and always looking for Value for Time.

Sudeep had a wonderful power point presentation and we were too happy internally as our latest acquisition of the LCD projector was being put to the best use.
Sudeep started with relevance of Spiritualism in the life of leaders in the corporate world. The definition and differentiation of various types of intelligence was truly educating. Everyone in the room started realizing where he stood and that being intelligent was not enough. Slowly it began to dawn as to what was missing. Sudeep kept on raising the quality of the contents by introducing a new concept, a new thought ,a new insight and a new experience almost every minute. One really felt as if we must not put a time limit for such sharing. We kept climbing the steps of intelligence or shall we say wisdom and new learning firmly holding Sudeep’s hand and he would not let us stay behind. He carried everyone in the room to higher level of knowledge and realization. What was truly inspiring was the energy in his speech and every word thereof, particularly when one is talking about such an involved and abstract subject. No one could ever have allowed any other thought to enter the mind so long he was talking. Having understood the fourth Quotient as SQ , everyone perhaps knew, we still have some work to do in life .Most of us have been trying hard to understand the third quotient and here was Sudeep telling us one more. But mind you, there was no frustration as everyone could see a new goal for self, albeit a stretched one and a beautiful one.

Sudeep did an amazing service to our club by covering so much in so little time, with full command on the language and the subject. We truly felt gifted and blessed.

What is a discourse if it does not leave you with questions and quest to know more. Sudeep was kind enough to answer them all and agreeing to be of help off line in spite of his tight schedule.

This day will truly make a difference in many of our lives!!!
