The state of a leader is born from the principle of responsibility that enriches people to become responsible

Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन ।
नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि
॥ ३-२२॥

na me pārthāsti kartavyaṁ triṣu lokeṣu
kiñcana nānavāptamavāptavyaṁ varta
eva ca karmaṇi

O Pārtha, there is nothing that I must
do in the three worlds. Neither am I
in want of anything nor do I have
anything to gain. Yet, I am always in
action

POWERFUL COGNITION

Kṛṣṇa owns responsibility, the space of leadership consciousness, Īśvaratva

Nithyananda Paramashivam

यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रितः ।
मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः
॥ ३-२३॥

yadi hyahaṁ na varteyaṁ jātu
karmaṇyatandritaḥ mama
vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ
pārtha sarvaśaḥ

If I did not engage in work
with care, O Pārtha, certainly,
people would follow My path
in all respects

POWERFUL COGNITION

Take responsibility for bringing authenticity into every action. Only by example can you cause others' reality and radiate the truths powerfully.

उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम् ।
सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः
॥ ३-२४ ॥

utsīdeyurime lokā na kuryāṁ
karma cedaham sakarasya ca
kartā syāmupahanyāmimāḥ
prajāḥ

If I do not work, then these
worlds would be ruined. I
would be the cause of
creating confusion and
destruction

POWERFUL COGNITION

People's anyakāra, the expectation that world has from Kṛṣṇa is that He is God, He is Bhagavān. He is now responsible to fulfill even others' image about Him for leading them on the correct path.

As the ignorant do their work with
attachment to the results, O
Bhārata, the wise do so without
attachment, for the enrichment
(welfare) of people

POWERFUL COGNITION

The Master is one who is in the eternal space of Īśvaratva, leadership consciousness and is in the ultimate experience of Enlightenment. Out of compassion, He enriches by showing the path of responsibility to reach His state to all
