It is interesting to note that with the right combination of IQ and EQ, society can produce an intelligent, ambitious, relationship oriented investment banker working on the Wall Street capable of raking in millions of dollars for himself. As part of his EQ, if the empathy is high, this individual may exhibit philanthropic tendencies that will benefit the masses. But typically these altruistic actions come alongside a desire of material gratification. On the other hand, with the right combination of IQ, EQ and SQ the society gifts itself individuals such as Swami Vivekananda, Swami Chinamayananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and others who devoted their lives to the wellbeing of their countrymen and citizens of this world.
The importance of this trilogy is as follows - while IQ and EQ without SQ may create mascots who become servants of themselves and their desires, the combination of IQ, EQ and SQ create mascots who become servants of God and masters of their desires.
