How to unleash the true Leader in You🔗

You do not have a clear idea of what you believe as you and what you talk or express about you. The reason is because we are so disconnected between who we really are, who we believe we are and who we project as ourselves to the society. There is no such thing as morality. If you have wrong ideas about morality you need to hide what you are and project what people want you. You need to project what society expects you to be if you have wrong ideas about morality. Just be what you are. That is ultimate morality. What you are telling and believing is different then there is conflict between you and you. We need to integrate who we believe we are and who we project we are with who we truly are.

Just sitting...

We have forgotten the art of just sitting. You need to be inside your boundary. Bodies are not like your homes, more like hotels and lodges. You put your luggage and start going around sight seeing. Whenever you find time, just sit with yourself and observe. This is very important thing to understand. Just see your lives, early morning, when you get up and start brushing, already your mind is in office, thinking about boss, thinking of answers to give at work. When you are at work, you are thinking about evening, to sit in beach. When you are in beach you are already thinking of going home.

We are always ready to give an appointment to others, but never to ourselves. If you just sit with yourself, you can always see that some part of your Being wants to express, wants to do something more, but we never give the chance or time to that part, to that portion of our Being. We are so caught up with our intellect and logic. We think that our intellect is the Ultimate.

We are not able to just sit or just relax because we are continuously thinking about something. We are continuously having thoughts about past or future and we are never in the present moment.

Just relax...

The first key is to completely relax and have complete awareness. Completely relaxing and enjoying the understandings. There is no need to even make an effort to remember what you are reading, if you are completely relaxed and understanding it. No need to worry how you will remember all these. No. Just be HERE completely. Be relaxed and open and let it just go in. More like r e l a x your way through leadership.

Sometimes when you are in a party, suddenly you think some person is going to come and in 10 minutes that person comes. Sometimes when the telephone rings, suddenly you will remember who you did not remember for 2 years, and when you pick up the phone, that person will be there on the line. Sometimes when door bell rings, suddenly you will remember a relative you had forgotten for 5 years, when you open the door, that person will be standing at the door.

Normally you dismiss this away as coincidence. If it happens in one person's life once you may call it as coincidence. But it happens in 98% of the person's lives. If 98 % of us had this experience even once, you cannot brush it aside as coincidence. Coincidence means rarely in one or two person's life, which happens may or may not. Evidence says, 98 % of people are experiencing this at least a few times in their lives. How can that be called as coincidence. There is something more than coincidence in this thing.

This is not coincidence. This is what is called intuition.

In those instances for some reason when the phone was ringing or when door bell was ringing, suddenly your thoughts per second dropped. When number of thoughts drops suddenly, you had a glimpse of the time shaft. This glimpse of future is called the energy of intuition.

The number of thoughts can drop at any moment, when something suddenly happens. When your mind is not capable of processing that information suddenly the number of thoughts drops. When it drops you had glimpse of future, maybe about what may happen in the next 5 minutes. That is the reason you are able to see or think who is going to come or what is going to happen in the next few moments. Even when you are relaxed or happy, when you don't have your relatives or in laws, you may be completely relaxed and the number of thoughts had come down. That is the reason you had the glimpse of next 5 minutes of the future.

If your number of thoughts falls accidentally itself you have glimpse of future. If it can be brought down consciously then understand the value, understand the experiences, understand the clarity which can be added into yourself. If it drops even accidentally, you will have the glimpse of the future. The power of intuition is activated for a few seconds to be able to see the happenings of the next few moments.

This means even if you accidentally relax you can have the power of intuition or energy of intuition accessible for few seconds. Imagine if you could consciously relax, then the amount of energy you can harness into your life. It can turn your whole life around just as in the cases of the famous scientists.

Top CEOs in the world are turning to meditation, yoga and spirituality as a sure success factor. They say that their sharp decisions with clarity were never logical. It was only intuitive. Great Scientists claim their discoveries were purely out of intuition.

The only way to awaken your intuitive power is to relax! The only way to awaken your inner intelligence and inner potential is to relax.

We want to analyze an important fact that we all have 3 important potential qualities within us. 3 important potential qualities within us are our IQ, EQ and SQ.

IQ means intelligence quotient. Actually, IQ which means intelligence quotient can be called intellect quotient rather than intelligence quotient. Because it simply means, it is based on the knowledge what we are gathering from outer world and the capacity of reproducing the same knowledge as in quiz sessions where within a minute you have to answer. It is nothing but keeping in memory and repeating it back.

The most challenged students have the most interesting lives, for example, Bill Gates, discontinued his studies and founded Microsoft Corporation. In a study high achievers’ personal lives were not satisfactory, why? To have a great life you have to do poorly at school, why? The study asked many questions, but all the questions can be synthesized into high IQ = low life satisfaction and low IQ = high life satisfaction.

The high achievers only sharpen their IQ not their EQ or SQ. That is why their lives are not satisfactory. For example: Dull students are an illusion. The dull student is deceiving you. He is intelligent. Even with peer pressure he won’t study. That proves he is intelligent. Actually low intelligence is extremely rare. At school teachers use psychology on him, at home parents do their best to motivate him to study, but still he doesn’t study. That shows you how much intelligence he has.

EQ means emotional quotient and SQ means spiritual quotient. EQ is far more deeper than IQ. It is actually the emotional stability what we are having. Emotional stability means emotional fitness, the emotional stability indicating our capacity to understand and react spontaneously to the particular situation without getting affected.

This is far more deeper than our intelligence quotient and beyond these two is the spiritual quotient which actually means the consciousness, the awareness. It is the conscious growth of the particular individual, only with this conscious growth, he will be able to attain the real satisfaction, the real bliss in his life.

The top level companies hire Yoga and meditation trainers to train their executives. Upper level executives' selection process includes SQ qualifications as well. Lower level positions are only concerned with IQ, mind-level managers must demonstrate EQ competence to be able to handle the stresses of the job, but the highest level employee must also have SQ qualifications.

This method of promotion and hiring is used in Microsoft and Tata. These top level companies invite their employees to take yoga classes. So these 3 important major things have to be considered in a particular individual for the growth of his whole life.

As of now the whole world looks very attractive. All these things like meditation, consciousness etc. looks very hazy and uninteresting. That is the reason; people say that they don't have time to meditate. Actually, for such people meditation has not become a priority in their life. Everybody has got only twenty four hours. But still some people find time to meditate. They are not jobless people. So never say that there is no time for meditation. Be very honest, that meditation has not become a priority in our lives.

Ananda maya is the silence you experience very rarely when your mind is totally in peace, when your mind is totally in silence. It is like when you are continuously asking for something, example a sweet, you want to have it. You are working for it. Suddenly when you get that sweet, when you put that in your mouth, the restlessness which you had for that sweet, disappears, comes down, your mind becomes little calm for few moments. For those few moments you experience the joy from your being. But unfortunately, your mind starts thinking that the joy is from the sweet. You think if you create the same situation, you will be able to experience the same thing must give you the same joy. But if that is the case, it must continue or grow.

You don't have to learn meditation, you are already a meditator. Remember the time the sun rising or first time you hear fantastic music or beautiful piece of music. Suddenly you become still, fully aware, wordless. That moment is meditation. Meditation is nothing but recapturing and remaining in that tranquil state. Sometimes you go to the beach and feel sudden peace and calmness in your mind. if you think, 'oh beach is associated with calmness', try to go everyday, you will start your regular worry. It is not the outer space which decides. It is the inner space which decides. When you try to associate the outer space or outer situation or outer things, you will try to repeat the same things. But you will not have same calmness, same ananda, same joy again and again with the same thing.

With meditation one can experience the causeless happiness or bliss or ananda that is constantly happening in us. If you are radiating happiness only based on emotion, be very clear, it is only skin deep. Only when your joy or happiness is based on silence, it is bliss and it will radiate forever. Anything based on some reason cannot radiate forever. In sanskrit, santosha, means because of something touching you. Ananda means forever which will never come down.

Meditation is simply the awareness of the present. Meditation is active, fun and leads to Bliss. Mediation is scientific.

I had a meeting with Nobel laureate, Charles Towne in San Jose. He is a noble laureate and a great scientist who received the noble prize for his findings on LASER and MASER. During lunch in San Jose, I asked him how this truth happened in his being. He replied, ‘Swamiji, to tell you honestly I have not discovered it. When I was relaxing in the park, in Washington, it just happened to me. I was supposed to give a lecture on that subject to a group of scientists. I tried my best to collect any material I could on the subject, but was not able to do much. I was completely frustrated because I could not achieve much. Finally, the day or the presentation or lecture arrived. I was supposed to deliver the presentation at 9am. I went for a walk in a park in Washington and I was sitting and relaxing.

It was early morning 6 O’clock. Suddenly like a revelation, as an intuition the whole thing was revealed to me. The whole truth came in my consciousness and I discovered it.’

He continued to say, ‘Then the problem is I know the truth, but I don’t know the logical steps to come to the conclusion. So after that I had to sit, think and develop all the logical conclusion only then i was able to present it. But the whole truth was like intuition, suddenly it happened. It was revealed to me, Swamiji.’

I asked him ‘How did you feel when the truth was revealed to you’. He said, ‘Swamiji, exactly I don’t know how to express and all those things. One thing is sure, from that moment, I know for sure, the whole universe is intelligence, the whole universe is not dead matter. Universe is not an accident. It is pure intelligence. It can respond to your thoughts. The whole universe, the planet earth, air, oceans, rivers, fire, space, sun, moon the whole universe is intelligence. It can reciprocate. It can respond, it can react to your thoughts.’

Even Albert Einstein says, theory of relativity was revealed to me when I was deeply meditating, ‘as if i was sitting on the edge of a light particle and travelling in the space at that moment only the theory was revealed.’

The most important truth to know about Intuition is intuition gives you the energy not only to take the decision but also to execute what you have decided. If you want to achieve you have to relax.

Sitting with ourselves and just watching what is going on inside, doing an honest check is awareness. Whenever we hear a joke, we burst out laughing when the punch line is delivered. It is during those few moments, if you just notice how your eyes light up, there is a sparkle in your eyes when you laugh, right? Also notice how there was a sudden gush of energy throughout your body, your face and cheeks. If you closed your eyes now for a few seconds, just feel the effects of this energy flowing through you.

This is called as awareness. Just feeling what is happening inside you. This helps you to soak in the benefits and positive effects of the laughter a little longer. It is like prolonging the creation of the positive chemicals that rained inside you. The normal thought is that it is too expensive, egoistic or even inhibitive to spend time on the different happenings inside the system or outside. How many of us actually spend a few minutes in such a manner whenever we laugh. It is usually considered too silly to focus on such an activity – of shedding awareness on the state, right? It is more like the importance is on the joke, so what next.

Pause for a few seconds and look around, bring awareness to the lightness in the room. When we laugh our energy radiates and works inside and outside. This also shatters the misconception that being aware of our inside is difficult.

Actually if we were to analyze why we laughed when a joke is cracked, there is a set of logically connected statements being told to you first. Then when you are clinging on to the logic that has been created, the punch line is delivered and your logic is shattered! For a few moments you break free from the logic. At that moment when your logic is shattered your thinking, your mind is shattered and you are in a state of no-mind zone. You fall into the present moment, you are thoughtless for those one or two seconds. When you suddenly fall into the zone of no mind or no logic then the energy that is in your center will rush to the periphery. This is your true nature. This is the core of your being.

Logic is our ability to doubt, judge, reason, analyze, presume, calculate, etc all based on our conditionings. Logic constricts and regulates the flow of energy. Logic is nothing but the conditioning - the strong mental setup developed by conditioning.

Our body is such a sophisticated system, that it is still not possible to duplicate its intelligence. It is endowed with the highest intelligence. We all have something called sixth sense which are like sensors. They act as our guide or like pagers and notification alerts to give us a true assessment of our state of being.

Sometimes you may have noticed when you are in a place you don’t want to be, then your body and nerves start experiencing a discomfort and irritation. Then what do we normally do. We use our logic, justify and suppress these signs. We want to be morally correct or politically right. This is just an example of how we suppress our innate intelligence with the acquired habits, conditionings and logic.

Just like while riding a bicycle, your whole system just knows and balances on two wheels. If you used your mind or logic each time, then it would not be possible to stay on the two wheels. Once the body intelligence is awakened it knows how to balance.

Whenever we start embracing the habits of judging, analyzing, reasoning, imitating, etc due to fear and greed of side-effects of your attitude, then civilization has happened to you. If you doubt and doubt constantly anything and everything you see, then you lost the sixth sense. Civilization has happened to you. You can have a big board saying ‘I am now civilized.’ Now you know how to find reasons, how to justify whatever you do, how to doubt.

Civilization, fear and greed for right behavior and attitude have aggressively suppressed our sixth sense. But in some people it is still active and they are the courageous ones who stand up against all odds to go with it. These are the leaders who we call as extra ordinary. Actually being in tune with your true self is the ordinary thing that we must learn to do. It is the state that we will be at ease with.

Extra ordinary is our civilized life where we brave and fight against our sixth sense and put up a false front of being less than who we truly are.

This is why it is so important to encourage awareness. Awareness of what is going on inside. The more you put your awareness on the inner happenings, to these inner signals, then the more you fall in tune with this intelligence. We become more sensitive to this intelligence. The more we become aware, the more we will be able to respond to it. This means becoming more and more sensitive to your innate intelligence rather than the logic.

If we relax to be aware of how we really feel inside then with the sixth sense you will realize when your actions are authentic and when they are due to compromise. Most of the time these compromising is for the sake of pleasing others or for some false morality. They are for compromising due to fear of being known as not up to the standards. If we instead continue to encourage and act according to the sixth sense, you will see the strong, immovable, truthful, authentic self radiating nothing but bliss that you will truly enjoy and radiate.

Being constantly aware of this sixth sense and tuning yourself with it will activate the true leadership in you. What we need is to activate the innate software in each of us which will allow the expression of these qualities without having to use the logical mind. We need to activate something that is immovable and unshakeable in you that will not waver due to external conditions without having to worry about what qualities will express as a result of it. These qualities are side effects of your innate intelligence, and not something that you can practice logically.

Here, you will not be given another long list of qualities and asked to practice it. It would then become just another gymnastic for the mind and logic.

The most basic understandings will bring about what is called psychological revolution in your system. These and many more such understandings which bring you closer to your own true self will release a kind of energy in you which awakens the non-mechanical parts of your brain. This is a clear scientific fact.

It will awaken a new discipline a new intelligence, the true leadership in you. It will arise a new kind of discipline which is unique and your own. It is not morality. Morality is something that you generalize for the whole population. Any discipline when generalized becomes morality. A customized morality or the real true morality will start happening in you that will be unique to your own system. This is what is called psychological revolution. It will be an awareness that other beings will not have.

This releases a tremendous amount of energy and awakens the non-mechanical parts of your brain which was not getting the energy flow due to the constriction and blockages created by the logic. When this happens you will see the whole brain is alive and your whole body will feel alive and you will have more energy in the day than normal people would. You will start radiating your own unique true leadership state.

Instead, you first need the courage to stop, look in and RE-ORGANIZE! Then you need the courage to go with it.

You need the courage to stop, look in and accept what is not you, what you have been pretending as you is not you. It is less than the real you. Once you can stand by your conviction to change your mental setup to be the real you instead, you will see a flood of energy which will just carry you through the process of unleashing the real you, because the real you is constantly knocking and wanting to express itself. Find out what is stopping it, what is pushing it back, what societal conditionings, what fears, what greed is pushing the real you back and curbing it from expressing. Once you have a clear understanding of what is it that is causing the blocks, then it is half the job done. Removing these blocks is just a matter of time. It is important to know that you are holding burning coals in your hands, only then dropping them takes less than a second.

So the process is to Relax, Be aware, allow the psychological revolution and re organize to express the real you.

Going through this process without knowing the hardware and software would be a futile exercise again. For example, to be able to operate the computer system to its full efficiency, it would help to know where the CPU and memory is being used up, what viruses and bugs are slowing the performance.

We will first look at the whole mind, body and you system at a little deeper level than just the skin, flesh, organs and bones. We will delve deeper and go to the root than just looking at the surface. To have an unshakeable state, just working on the surface will not help. We have to start at the root.
