• Rakesh is getting ready for his final semester exam. Because of his night out he is weak and tensed.
• Rakesh’s father Rajaram came from morning jogging with heavy sweating and comforted his son with inspirational words.
• Rakesh’s mother Shanti did special prayers to Lord Ganesha for all success to her son but she is also very tensed.
• Rakesh’s sister Rakhi gave best wishes to him and put a tilak. She reminded him of his strengths and also warned him of
weakness of getting nervous.
• Rakesh got onto his bike and started speeding towards his college. He is tensed as his thoughts were also speeding
on top gear. • Rakesh stopped on the road when he saw his classmate Abhay with whom he never spoke. Since asked for lift,
he stopped and picked him up. Abhay thanked him for his help during this crucial moment of exams as missed his bus.
• While sitting as pillion rider Abhay told the importance of balanced mind before entering the examination hall. He conveyed
that any amount of thinking at this juncture will not help for success in the examination, rather it would spoil the mood.
• With 10 minutes talk with Abhay Rakesh’s mind got completely cooled and he felt very much composed. Both happily
reached college.

8 Perfect Orientation of Four Quotients – the best Governance approach given by Supreme Lord
BG 3.42 indriyāṇi parāṇy āhurindriyebhyaḥ paraṁ manaḥ manasas tu parā buddhiryo buddheḥ paratas tu saḥ
The working senses are superior to dull matter; mind is Best higher than the senses; intelligence is still higher than Governance the mind; and he [the soul] is even higher than the intelligence.
BG 3.43 evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā saṁstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śatruṁ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṁ durāsadam
Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to material senses, mind and intelligence, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence [Krishna Consciousness] and thus—by spiritual strength— conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust.
