| 2. Sanskara & Inner Disposition | Childhood conditioning, temperament, subconscious shaping | Personal and collective mindset transformation | For students: social media habits; for teachers: unconscious pedagogy styles |
| 3. The Power of Attention | Mechanisms of attention, energy flow, digital distractions | Focusing techniques, detox from cognitive overload | For nurses: attention amidst stress; for professionals: managing multitasking burnout |
| 4. Sagacity & Spiritual Intelligence | Introducing sagacity, soul intelligence vs IQ/EQ | Practical wisdom and values alignment | For jail wardens: dealing with aggression; for doctors: ethical clarity under pressure |
| 5. Applied Spiritual Practices | Meditation, gratitude, reflection, silence | Creating an inner toolkit for transformation | For corporate: mindful leadership; for students: reflective journaling |
| 6. Interconnectedness & Responsibility | You as a soul; systems thinking; responsibility beyond roles | Compassion in action, values-based decision-making | For parents: family as divine unit; for police: dignity in enforcement |
| 7. Integration & Enlightened Living | Moving from learning to living; new inner operating system | Sustain practice, serve, evolve | For all: spiritual literacy as lifestyle—not belief |
