Linking spiritual intelligence and the Bhagavad Gita: A non-poem

According to an AI Overview on 'poetry and spiritual intelligence,' the two aspects are interconnected through their shared capacity to explore the inner self, meaning-making, and transcendence. "Poetry can enhance spiritual intelligence by offering a platform for expressing and understanding spiritual experiences, while spiritual intelligence can inform the creation and appreciation of poetry with a deeper understanding of the human condition and the divine," informs the overview adding that 'engaging with poetry, informed by a sense of spiritual intelligence, can facilitate spiritual growth and transformation, helping individuals to develop a more profound understanding of themselves and the world around them.' [1]

Samuel, S. (2024) [2] in her blog 'Poetic Whispers' says the following while stressing the need for providing experiences in spiritual poetry.

Spiritual poetry goes beyond the facade directly into the mysteries of existence, faith, and, most importantly, the soul’s journey. It is not limited to religion or even a belief; it is a universal attempt toward truth, enlightenment, and inner peace. Whether we write about beautiful nature, find answers to our purpose, or value the divine, spiritual poetry lets us connect within and create beauty shared with everyone else. Rumi, Tagore, and Mary Oliver have repeatedly used spiritual poetry to peek into the realms of the soul. They have inspired readers to step out of their mundane lives into a realm of introspection and silent contemplation. In today’s times, spiritual poetry speaks to people’s hearts because it tackles the eternal quest for meaning — an eternal quest that is uniquely personal yet universally shared.

Urged by the foregoing, this blogger (Kishore, 2025) [3] wrote the following non-poem of the spiritual message of the Bhagavad Gita

Non-poem on the Bhagavad Gita

Wake up educators / to synergise education / with development of / spiritual intelligence / that is innate with / all human beings

***

Spiritual intelligence is / a divine dormant potential / within and without / meant to be awakened - / fosterage, nurtured 'n raised / that is founded on / active spiritual pedagogy / rooted in our cultural heritage.

***

The Bhagavad Gita foots the bill / as an integral part of / the cultural heritage of the land / with spiritual paths - / that're well-laid / through the ingredients of / soulful union with / pure consciousness as witness / to our deeds-n-devotion / Thro' Dhyan, Karm, Gyan 'N Bhakti Yog

***

Mind it and make sure that / no pedagogical reform can succeed / until it culturally rooted into /  intellectual-n- spiritual growths / in tandem for holistic development / of body, mind and spirit
