Sadhguru: Good morning and welcome to every one of you
to this
Isha Insight twenty-fourteen (Referring to 2014),
the third edition of Isha Insight.
History is replete with many events where
individual leaders because of their insight and their commitment,
have changed the course of what happens on this planet.
At the same time,
there are also many disastrous events on the planet
when leaders operated without the necessary insight
and did things which caused enormous disasters on this planet.
So leadership at any level,
whether you’re running your own business
or a state or a nation or whatever,
in whichever way if you’re touching a certain number of people in a day,
I consider you a leader.
So being a leader...
three basic qualities which sets a leader apart
and makes him into a fruitful proposition for everybody around him is
his integrity,
his ability to inspire people to do the right things
and above all,
insight.
So, these three qualities of
integrity, inspiration and the necessary insight into the activity that we’re performing.
As I said,
without integrity we will not set the necessary ambience for success.
Inspiration...
if you do not have an infectious level of inspiration,
that people around you are fired up just by seeing you
and the way you function, if that doesn’t happen,
a certain level of sloth,
an inertia will set into the atmosphere.
Inertia means it’s death, you know,
if somebody becomes inert, that’s called death.
So situations will die,
we may be doing great things
but if the necessary inspiration cannot be generated moment to moment on a daily basis,
whatever great things we’ve been doing...
many great things have floundered simply because
the necessary inspiration was missing in the atmosphere.
And insight above all,
insight is your ability to see something
that the majority of the people do not see.
When you become a leader
either you grew into your leadership
or you were born into it
or you are elected
or whichever way
when you become a leader, leadership gives you a higher perch.
If you sit on a higher perch than the rest
and if you do not see any better than the others,
then you will become an object of ridicule.
So insight into what we’re doing...
being a leader is like being a captain of a ship.
If you are the captain of the ship,
you don’t have to do the hard work that the crew is doing
but you must be able to chart out a successful path.
You must be able to see everything that is there right now
and you must be able to foresee that which cannot be seen right now.
So this responsibility is fulfilled
only if one develops a certain level of insight.
Above all, we want to genetically engineer your DNA in the next four days for success
because success is the sweetest thing in human life.
