The Heart of a Leader
Insights on the Art of Influence
“Leadership is not something you do to people. It’s something you do with people.”
“A river without banks is a large puddle.”
Start your people on a journey to the land of empowerment, but don’t forget that they need boundaries. If you cut them loose without any direction, they will get lost and revert back to their old unempowered habits. Like the banks of a river, boundaries have the ability to channel energy in the right direction. If you take away the boundaries, your people will lose their momentum and direction. Boundaries that create autonomy include:
Purpose—what does your company do?
Values—what are your company’s operational guidelines?
Goals—where is your company headed?
Roles—who does what?
Structure—how is your company organized?
Don’t send inexperienced people off alone and then punish them when they make mistakes. Establish clear boundaries that will free them to make decisions, take initiative, act like owners, and stay on track.

In order to seek perfection, look at perfection, everywhere in creation. In creation, every step is perfect, every object is perfect, everything has its own place. When one does this, then grumbling and complaining mind stops, and rests peacefully.
=========================
Spirituality gives you strength; that inner strength to manage difficult situations & to keep you ever-smiling.
=========================
Q: While meditating I see a pink light in the middle of my eyebrows. Does it mean anything?
Guruji: In meditation you can have many experiences. Sometimes you smell a fragrance, sense a warm touch, any of the five senses can get activated, that is ok. Don’t need to pay too much attention to it. Any experience we take it as they come and move on.
=========================
Q: Knowing that everything would be finished one day, makes me feel very disturbed. How do I come out of it?
Guruji: The temporary nature of things around you should enable you to calm down, and settle in deep.
=========================
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
=========================
Celebrate the unique qualities of people in your family and community,while remembering that we're all equally human.
