The Vedic doctrine is that the supreme Lord (parmatman), the Higher Self, is seated as the 'Witnessing Self' (Sakshin) in the heart of all! There are three different hearts in the living beings, jivarashi. These are (a). the physical heart pumping blood, (b). the subtle heart called antahkarana full of human emotions such as love, compassion, piety, etc. It is also said to be the seat of mind, intellect and ahankar; and (c). the soul (Atman) which is totally invisible and beyond all comprehension. It is this Soul that moves from body after body to experience the phenomenal world in different forms and shapes and names. The soul can enter a pig or a lion, an ant or an elephant or air and fire and become an active name and form. We cannot see this invisible source of energy and may, at best, trace it to Sun or a distant Star. It is the atomic energy in different quanta at different levels like the automobile battery, pen torch shell, or a cadmium cell in a watch or pen! It can eneter and exit at will! It cane create anything it desires since it has all the knowledge (K), information (I) and Intelligence (I), technology (T) and extraordinary ability (A) to transform one object into another, as also energy into matter! This is what led Einstein to formulate the famous E=m.c2. It is Energy (E) that supports all that exist! It is the prana, life-force of what we call the jiva, This is the soul, the Atman that is basic support of the jivas. This is what is creating the structure and composition of all that is the sperm, the cell, the organic entity in the living beings, and the same is the energy aspect of all the inorganic substance that radiate energy like the uranium, radium, vanadium, barium, zircon, and even the trace elements that may have existed in time not known! The effect is there but its source is not known. So also the soul that is developing a certain characteristics in the jiva. The Astronomers trace it to distant stars and the astrologers predict the behavior accordingly! There is a separate science of this and very few are well-versed in these since it requires a high level of purity as also the sixth sense in experiencing and understanding the vibrations. Mind reading is possible to some people; so also; some people can accurately forecast the happenings, while some can see through and through these hidden forces in a gross object! The tantra shastra deals with these.
Now, how a person attains a certain level of intelligence and gains worldly acclaim can be understood here.
