 Emotional intelligence is very important in everyday behavior. There is a study there are so many studies I am just quoting one of those very comprehensive study and thoroughly designed it looked at college students and took the ability test of emotional intelligence and they also looked at the big 5 personality trait. They wanted to understand whether emotional intelligence is affected by the personality type or not. So, big 5 personality type many of you might remember that big 5 personality types are related to extraversion means our tendency to express our behavior externally whenever I am facing some issue introversion means my tendency to going back within myself whenever I need energy consensuousness means following the process openness to experience that means being experiment about life about situations and neurotic means emotional instability these are the 5 personality traits this is called big 5. The big 5 was assessed emotional intelligence was assessed and then they were also asked to provide the life scale life space scale information that looks at the self-care behavior leisure pursuit academic activities and interpersonal relations. What in this study was found that women invariably they scored significantly higher than men on the emotional intelligence however emotional intelligence was a stronger predictor of the life space criteria for men for men if they become emotional intelligent that has much more impact on their life space scale related variables. And what happens when someone is suffering from low emotional intelligence or comparatively lower emotional intelligence principally that is connect that is related to the inability to perceive emotions and to use emotion to facilitate thoughts and that was also associated with the negative outcome. And what are the negative outcomes of lower emotional intelligence in that this study amongst the college student illegal drug and alcohol use deviant behavior poor relations with friend all these variables were connected to low emotional intelligence finding remained significant even after statistically controlling for a scores on big 5 and academic achievement. So that means personality type or academic achievements are not connected to emotional intelligence in other words you need to do not worry whatever is your personality type you need not to worry whether your academic achievement is high or not high in comparison to your colleagues is still you can have emotional intelligence and is still it will pay off is still it will be one of the most important criteria to be successful in career. And in many situation it is more important than cognitive skills it is more important in many situation in comparison to academic achievement let us look at what you say is about it. So you recall our discussion on how mind works and that is what we discuss according to the yogic perspective there are varieties there are mind modifications and there are clisht varieties and clisht varieties clisht clisht varieties which are which causes suffering which which cause bond bondage and clisht variety which are unhindered not causing suffering. Mind modifications can be because of right knowledge it can be because of viparaya which is abhidya smitha ragh dvesh abhinvesh it can be because of imagination sleep or memory. So mind modifications can be clisht or clisht depending on that we have a kind of chit bhoomi the quality of mind we attain that can be chit which is very fluctuating with chit generally fluctuating a kag is focused niruddha means well controlled completely in control. So that is how the mind works if we look at emotions from the indik perspective we see a very universal classification of emotions and that is very useful to label the emotion and recognize that emotion you remember the ruler the recognition to labeling these are the three important steps in in the rural model of emotional intelligence. If we keep 9 or 10 or 8 rasas in our mind we can very easily label and classify the emotions what we are experiencing ourselves what others are experiencing. So varatamuni is nateshastra which was written about 2000 years ago it gives excellent classification of the different emotions this is called rasas rasas are the dormant emotions these are sangar which is related to love and attractiveness hasya which is related to laughter or comedy or myth raghdram which is related to anger or fury karunya which is related to a compassion and mercy bivhats which is meaning disgust and aversion bhyanakam which is related to horror and terror viram or virras that is related to heroic mood, weller, courage adhubutras which is about the wonderment and amazement these 8 rasas were identified by bharatamuni in the nateshastra then there was a conceptual problem the conceptual problem which was recognized and then addressed by abhinavagupta in 8th or 9th century was that during the play because nateshastra was about the drama and how people enjoy the drama and in that connection the conceptual problem was that how come people enjoy seemingly contradictory rasas so sangar is a one type of rasas which has a very deep pleasantness in it and bivhats it is a bhyanakras in the same play rasik or the observers can enjoy both the rasas how come that is possible because if I am in sangar how I can move from sangar to bivhatsras and that is related to our personal life as well same people can experience one rasas at times and another rasas another time what is that capability which makes people swiftly move from one rasas to another as it is appropriate according to a situation there must be something else there must be some backdrop under which this shifting of rasas shifting of mood from one kind of rasas to another kind of rasas happening and that concept was added by abhinavagupta please gave the notion of shantaras so shantaras is like a substratum in which people experience fluctuation and that fluctuation can be in the form of sangaras or hasiras and raudaras but people then come back to that substratum and that also is enjoyable that is also a rasas that is shantaras tranquility so indian perspective and yogic perspective of emotional intelligences or emotional balances that it is not about having only sweet emotions we discussed in the second wave of positive psychology as well there is a recognition and that is kind of very long recognized in the indian tradition that there are no emotions which are only negative or only positive negative emotions sometime result into personal growth and positive emotions they may sometime tilt it toward hedonism of which in the long run we may have negative outcome so there are no water tight strict negative emotions or positive emotions what is important is to have appropriate emotion at appropriate time and our ability to come back to samatha our ability to regain the equanimity when that is that capability is there we call the person is titipragya that is a very highest state but we that is that in the normal life in the day to day life we call that is titi called samatha equanimity or emotional balance that is required in the day to day life and our ability to experience different rasas and coming back to shantaras is the essence of emotional balance as per in the indian perspective.
