Everyone of us can develop Cognitive intelligence , involving conscious intellectual activity such as thinking, reasoning or remembering. A person has an ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
The second one is Emotional Intelligence which involves intense feeling. A person having feelings that are easily excited and openly displayed. Many of us are emotional characters and show our feelings in many situations.
The third is Moral intelligence where we are concerned with the principles of right and wrong behaviour and the goodness or badness of human character. It is derived from the code of interpersonal behaviour that is considered right or acceptable in a society.
The fourth is Social intelligence relating to society or its organisation. Society is for activities in which people meet each other for pleasure. It is the ability to get along well with others and to get them to cooperate with you. A toxic behaviour indicates a low level of Social intelligence - the inability to connect with people and influence them effectively. For example a company can be a million dollar corporation - having put up huge factories but if they let out the waste gas (flare) into the atmosphere without building chimneys and if they allow waste water go into open drain without treating them by installing waste water treatment plant for pollution control, they are deviating from Social responsibility.
Finally and most important one to be cultivated by all of us is the Spiritual intelligence. By reading and understanding "Bhagavad Gita" one gets Spiritual knowledge. If you have a Guru who has read the Gita already and profess knowledge and who himself has practiced the same for some time and is also a practitioner of Gnana yoga it will be beneficial for us. Our brain has Neurons and full of energy which has to be activated.
Spiritual intelligence is synchronous processing of the whole brain.
Emotional intelligence is parallel processing of the right brain.
Cognitive or intellectual intelligence is serial processing of the left brain.
By reading and understanding the underlying concepts contained in "Bhagavad Gita" one will get Spiritual intelligence.
Spiritual intelligence results in a sense of deeper meaning and purpose , combined with improvements in a wide range of important life skills and work skills. It is a higher dimension of intelligence that activates the qualities and capabilities of the authentic Self (or Soul) in the form of wisdom, integrity, compassion, joy , love , creativity and peace. Studies in neuroscience confirm that spiritual intelligence is correlated with hemispheric synchronisation and whole brain activation. The resulting whole-brain coherence optimises brain function, and results in greater fulfillment , increased creativity, sharpened intuition , more empathy and compassion , and improved performance in a wide variety of work skills and life skills.
There is another learning that you are a constituent of energy inside you. Cosmos or outer space consists of waves which is filled with energy. When you read "Bhagavad Gita" line by line and understand the content and do meditation, your Mind will be filled with Positive energy. The neurons in your mind unleashes and gets connected with the energy waves around you in the Cosmic system and gives you the mental strength to face all challenges in your life happily.
Benefits that you get by reading "Bhagavad Gita" are many.
Some of them are:
You will be a cool person all the time.
You will be Calm, Cheerful and Confident at all times.
You will be peaceful at all times , In spite of Provoking circumstances.
You will have an equanimous mind and treat the pair of opposites the same Viz. Success and Failure, Good and bad, Win and Lose, Gain and Loss.
You will have Satvic qualities, eat Satvic food, remain cool and calm and have satvic manners.
You will have crystal clear clarity of your mind and a doubtless belief in YourSelf.

You will understand yourSelf and attain Poornathvam or Fulfillment.
You will get to know the truth inside you and claim "Aham Brahma Asmi" (I am God Myself).
Hope I have given enough explanation on what I learnt from "Bhagavad Gita" which in turn will make you to dwelve into it and understand the hidden secrets for your own betterment in Life. Don't you fell the Urge inside You to look immediately for "Bhagavad Gita" study? One should have the Grace of God even to Study "Bhagavad Gita". I consider Myself lucky to have gone through it with my guru swami Paramarthananda.
Be blissful.
