How to be an

Influential Leader
The real leader is guided from
the heart:

When you are connected with your inner

self, the Heart, you do not remain the
same, who you have been assuming yourself
to be. Transformation takes place there.
One, who gets the guidance and inspiration
from his heart or intuition, is the real
leader. Leader means the one who can
provide direction, whom people can look
forward to, who can sense, who can take
decisions, who can sort out problems
completely once and for all. In a way that,
they do not arise again. For the real leader
a problem is not a problem, it’s a lesson, to
be learnt which teaches him something. The
principle that the real leader operates from
is, “Living for others because there is no
other”. The world needs management from
people who are managed by their heart,
their instinct. Those who can work
impersonally and also be a channel for
others. Only those who are led by the heart
can lead the world.

From which source does the leader take

route? Leader takes route from the heart. It
is the precursor that he is a real leader, the
real captain. Those people should inspire
the world who are inspired from within.
Only the ones who do their work based on
their intuition can truly solve the problems.
Else the problems are always standing at the
doors. That’s why it has been told that
everyone should get associated with his or
her heart [Tejasthan].

What is the meaning of a “Tejasthani? It

means those who are guided by their Heart
[the Tejasthan]. “Bright Place” or Heart or
Tejasthan means the place, which is beyond
inside and outside, which is beyond two,
and not the physical heart. For example:
“Bright Happiness” is beyond Happiness and
sorrow. “Bright Silence” is beyond noise and
silence. “Bright Knowledge” is beyond
knowledge and ignorance. “Bright Friend” is
beyond friend and foe. When one reads the
word “Bright”, he should understand that it
is not the thing in the premise of body, mind
or intellect. Something beyond all this is
being explained. “Bright Place” means the
place, which is our True Being, our origin.
When we draw a graph, we draw two lines
as X-axis and Y-axis. The point at which the
two lines meet is called the origin. That
point, the source of the being is the “Bright
Place”.

One should not get confused with the new

words; therefore they are explained in such
detail. This enables people to begin with
the understanding about the source being
explained. This is the talk about our
“being”. In your childhood, when you had
not become anybody, what were you? Then
later you were related as a brother, or a
sister, a Hindu or a Muslim. Then you
became a neighbor of somebody, a boss of
somebody and all these relationships kept
on building later on. But when these labels
did not exist, there was only the state of
pure being, just like a clean slate. Blank
slate, on which nothing is written, is the
state of being. A state of nothing with the
possibility of everything.

There is so much written about it, in a

variety of ways, everyone has said
differently of it. So it becomes difficult to
recognize it. The writing covers it up and
creates confusion. It is now looked upon as
something difficult for a common man. Here
you are given the direct experience of that
being. Not just to see and understand it, but
get established over there, get stabilized
over there.
After getting stabilized on the heart or
“Tejasthan”. The way one looks at problems
changes. From that point only Truth and
nothing but the Truth can be seen. Being
there makes you the real leader. Then the
whole sole purpose of life becomes service.
Then the declaration is “Living for others
because there is no other”.
