I welcome you with my love and respects. This book will be an amazing journey into the unknown, into what is the YOU. This book is a direct mine of gems of wisdom from the ultimate leaders.

This book will not drop you…

Usually when you read books, you finish it and you drop the book and move on, but this is a unique book which will not drop you. It will stay with you and will again and again move you towards mining different gems from the same lines. It will revolutionize your mental setup to drop your less than leader attitude. It will help you through a process of growth, until you drop the lies about you, which is not you. Similarly we will discover a leadership in you that will not drop you, a leadership you cannot drop, a true leadership that is authentic and unique to you. This book has chosen you.

This book will be your living guide…

This will become your living book which will become a personal guide, a personal Master and will stay with you until you realize your inner potential. You will find new meanings to the same lines as you approach it each time when you go through this book. Until this book you can say that with all so-called leadership programs, workshops and books, becoming a leader has been just a gamble. You may be at the right place at the right time, know the right kind of people and end up with the right kind of job. You are normally given a set of principles, a set of attributes to follow, a set of qualities that you should express, a set of logical ideas that you need to embrace and remember and exhibit. All like a skill set to be developed. But with this book, it will be a guide to lead you to the Truth about You.

Leadership cannot be framed…

Millions of dollars have been spent on both quantitative and qualitative researches to put a frame around leadership. To make leadership a logical science, like a mathematical formula or a formula for a chemical composite. Every time they have seen that it is either a futile effort to put a frame or just that the actual truth is much more sophisticated in its simplicity and uniqueness. Similarly you cannot be given a set of qualities to practice and frame around you which will make you a leader. No.

Typical projects, leaderships will give you a structured logical approach to managing your time, and responding to situations. It is more of an intellectual approach.

Most sought after certificate…

To be called a leader by a team, a group, a corporation, a community or country is the most sought after title. There is a kind of fascination or fantasy of fulfillment to be known as a leader of something. Consciously or unconsciously we will try to perfect ourselves to the role or title or certificate even though we realize that this certificate is highly relative.

We are continuously seeking for the ultimate formula just around the corner, just with that one skill, just that one quality if practiced well which will make us the sought after commodity by corporations, We understand that we are a leader if we can lead a group of people towards the common goals of the corporations and if the corporations call us and offer lucrative compensations and benefits so that we could help them setup their infrastructure by motivating a group of people to contribute their skills and knowledge. The bigger the group of followers, the more complicated the task, the more exposure the better.

Billions of dollars spent on leadership programs…

In October 2003, Business Week had reported that 134 companies from 20 nations spent \$210 million to enroll 21,000 employees in executive leadership programs. Since leadership development is not an event, that's a significant investment in classroom activities that may or may not produce company leaders or even better managers. Stanford University is introducing leadership coaching into their MBA program. Companies offer six-months of weekly personal executive coaching to create a positive leadership mindset.

This is just one minute percentage of what is being spent globally now for these programs. Billions of dollars are being spent on these leadership and self development programs by corporations world wide. There are hundreds of books on leadership and hundreds and hundreds of training workshops.

In a typical corporate project, there will be a project with end deliverables.

• o There will be a set of requirements. These are the immovable parts.
• o There will be a group of resources. These are the movable parts
• o So the deliverable is broken into requirements and timelines.
• o Requirements and timelines are converted into tasks and smaller milestones.

These tasks and milestones are distributed to the resources. Each resource knows what task to complete and what timelines and milestones to follow. The project is about the immovable parts being converted into resultant deliverables using the movable parts.

Why do we need leaders?

So if all resources know what tasks to perform and what timeline to follow. Just a computer program or chart should do. If it is to just have a person asking if the task is complete by each milestone or not, then just a project manager should do. Why so much importance on leadership? Why do we need leaders? And why is so much money spent on leadership?

It is understood that it is because of hundreds of hidden variables and intangible parameters in the movable parts. It is because people are happy to be followers, just workers. There is a need for some one to glue all the pieces of the puzzle or deliverables together and to make sure that the pieces are falling in place appropriately on time.

Did leadership choose you?

How would you know if the status of the leadership chose you or if you chose the status for various reasons? List the reasons. If you won a multi million dollar lottery, would you continue to be in the status that you are in now? If any of the members in the team won the lottery would they continue to be doing what they are doing today? Do an honest check and see why are you doing what you are doing.

The hidden variables and intangible parameters are numerous and unpredictable. Each individual comes with his own mental setup and reasons for being part of the project. The conscious and unconscious reasons that drive them to be a part of the project may change sometimes daily based on their interaction with the challenges of the task and others. The conscious and unconscious reason that drive You to be a part of the project and how you interact with these members also changes on a daily basis. It seems to be highly relative. It is directly related to these various parameters and variables of which all are external.

L eadership qualities in the market place

This world is a market place. The corporate world is a market place. They say if you know how to sell yourself you can get the job. It is all in how you market yourself.

Are you a commodity?

You have become a commodity. We are continuously trying to perfect ourselves to make ourselves more presentable. We are continuously trying to define effective leadership. We continuously seek information on what worked for someone who became successful. We don't realize that the situation and the person were unique in time and space and can never be duplicated. Corporations look at leaders as highly-sought after commodities.

Leaders are determined by various lists of good qualities. Leadership programs and books in turn hand out various good qualities that one should possess or cultivate. How is this done? All by logical analysis, market research of what worked and what did not. They gather a set of data and analyze and determine the qualities of a leader.

Leadership can neither be bought nor sold like a commodity. It has to be just awakened in you. That's all.

Qualities of leadership.

All the available programs give you lists and lists of qualities that you need to possess to be a leader. There are so many dos and don'ts that are recognized as good qualities of leadership. But, some of the common ones may be:

• o Being Intuitive. Being a Visionary
• o Being Trustworthy. One who trusts himself.
• o Being TRUTHFUL
• o Has excellent time management skills
• o Capable of Sharp Decision Making
• o Has good Communication Skills
• o Is Stress Free
• o One who is emotionally Balanced
• o One who can motivate others.

The list can go on and on. How is it possible to remember and practice all these? Is it possible for someone to have all these qualities? All these are qualities that cannot be learnt and logically practiced. Anything given will become some logical solutions to be practiced in hypothetical situations.

Trying to put a handle on it.

Moreover, think about it, there are a set of maybe at the most 20 or 25 positive qualities that have been compiled in the whole world as leadership qualities presented in different ways. Then if we know the list, as a recipe why so many billions of dollars are being spent on these same 20 qualities being told to you again and again. Various schools are trying to come up with various permutations and combinations of making this a digestible formula or a skill set you can put a handle on, something that you can put your arms around.

Trying to practice these qualities would be like a self development program. The truth is your self cannot be developed. You only have to undo the development and conditionings plastered on the self to reveal and unleash the innate pure potential which is limitless.

The qualities of good leadership will only be side effects of your innate potential which you can enjoy. These side effects will automatically start expressing through You.

L eadership cannot be practiced.

Leadership cannot be practiced. So give up the idea of trying to practice someone's qualities. It is your innate intelligence. It has to be awakened. It is not something you can learn or imitate. You cannot become a leader. You have to BE a Leader. If you look a little deeply it is such a relief, not having to practice a set of principles or rules. Normally we carry a constant irritation a subtle disturbance in us with a need to be like someone successful. The constant question why you are not able to express the qualities of the role models or why you are not like them even if you practice their qualities, the prescribed dos and don'ts seems to drive you. These ideas and concepts and pressures that we unconsciously clutch and hold on to is logic which is the blockage in our energy flow.

The first strong, deep understanding is to realize there is no need for you to practice and you cannot practice something that is not your own. This brings a tremendous relief, a tremendous relaxation and a tremendous energy is released into your system.

Leadership is not logical.

Leadership is beyond day to day logic. It cannot be understood logically nor learnt logically.

Intelligence cannot be learnt.

Intelligence and Intuition cannot be learnt. It has to be awakened. Being anything less than a leader, being anything less than your true unlimited potential is low self-esteem. It takes intelligence to respond spontaneously. When you act from intellect, it is predictable. Spontaneity is awakened when your intelligence is awakened. Spontaneity is a side effect of intelligence and awareness. Usually the less educated people are more spontaneous than the so-called educated people. The other day I heard someone narrating a joke they read on the internet which was brought to my notice which I think describes spontaneity in its own way.

Three women -- one German, one Japanese and a Hillbilly were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound.

The German pressed her forearm and the beeping stopped, the others looked at here questioningly. "That was my pager." she said. "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The Japanese woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, "That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand." ```

Leadership cannot be possessed

Leadership cannot be possessed. It has to possess you. You will exude the leadership qualities as just side effects. You can neither practice nor possess it. It has to be awakened, experienced and expressed. If you try to practice something that has not become an experience in you, then what you may be trying to practice or express is a mere habit.

That is why it is not possible to achieve something that is not you. Instead what you are may be much, much, much, more than what you think you want to be. Qualities that are prescribed in programs and workshops cannot be practiced or possessed. They are side effects of leadership.

L eadership is a STATE not Status

LEADERSHIP is a STATE of BEING not STATUS. Your state is irrespective of the status. It will never change, no matter what the status is, no matter what the size of the team is, etc. It will never change no matter what issue or problem comes in front of you. The status may be taken away, but never the state. It is about being MATURE enough to handle responsibility. Then status will simply follow the leader. Maturity and state is not dependent on age, technical knowhow, intellect, industry, etc.

Most of us achieve the status of leader but not the state. State is different from status. Status comes from society. When you are leading a group of people, when you are forced to take responsibility out of some department or if you take responsibility out of greed, status comes but state is totally different.

When I say state, I mean the inner space or being should be mature enough to handle what you are entering in, or the responsibility which you are assuming. When we just get the status without achieving the state, then we will be struggling with all the corporate world problems. When we don't achieve the state, but just achieve the status, then we will be faced with personal level stress, tension and at the level of the team, back biting, politics, etc starts happening.

What is Leader Consciousness?

We have to achieve the leader consciousness and not just status. One has to achieve the state of leader, not just status. Status is very easy. State is something which we really need to achieve. For a man who has achieved state of leader, status will simply follow him. Even if it takes some time he will not be bothered. He will live like a king. His very life will be totally fulfilled and the feeling of the fulfillment which is invaluable happens to beings who achieve the leader consciousness. The word state of leader means a man who is ready to take the responsibility consciously. It means a man who is read to handle life consciously and one who is not consciously dependent on the past or memory for decisions.

So one should focus on achieving the STATE then qualities and status will automatically follow. Status can come and go but State will be permanent. Be established in the immovable, unshakeable State true to your own self, then status will start following you.

If you are dependent on past or memory to make decisions, then you will be a follower not a leader. You will not be leader. Responding spontaneously to situations is what I call responsibility. A person who is able to respond spontaneously to the situations, a person who is fresh who continuously keeps himself in present and who is not caught in past. Such a person who is not lost in past can make spontaneous decisions.

Leadership is an Unique expression

Each one's leadership state will be unique. A leader will be established in Truth, which means being true to ones own self and not an imitation. The first decision to make is to have the courage to be Unique and authentic to your inner Self.

A lion and elephant are both strong leaders. A lion not knowing that it is a lion may be fascinated by the elephant and if it tries to imitate the elephant, it may become a fox instead. Similarly, a swan and eagle are both leaders, but a swan trying to imitate an eagle might turn into a crane instead. Newton can never be Einstein. Similarly, you cannot model yourself into some leader. You have to return to your true state to reveal your innate uniqueness which is pure leadership expression in its own way. We limit ourselves when we try to follow the personality rather than their inspiration to awaken our potential.

So give up the exercise of practicing some one else's expressions or some one else's qualities. Just become sensitive to your own nature and see what your true self is, beyond your logical understandings of dos and don'ts. This in no way is an indication to break any laws, but a deeper understanding and tuning yourself to yourself rather than tuning yourself to conditionings of media, society and jumping on the band wagon.

A good leader gives birth to leaders

A True Leader is not determined by the number of followers he has. A True Leader is determined by the number of Leaders he gives birth to.

His very presence will exude truth and inspiration at first to follow HIM and then He gives no choice. You have to stand up and become the leader in your own right. He does not rest and will not let you rest till you start radiating your true potential. He is not interested in followership. He is interested in helping you in uncovering the true potential in you.

Only a good leader can give birth to leaders. At the end of the project He delivers a few good leaders also as bi-products of the labor. If not he would be just a project manager. A good leader is someone who leads out of pure joy and inspiration to inspire others. He provides solution instead of support. If the leader moves on to some other project or dies, neither the task nor the team will suffer or collapse.

A good leader creates paths using the tasks for each individual to become a leader. He inspires each one to produce and express their potentiality and creates a kshetra. A kshetra is a team or organization or community or a group where people are working out of deep fulfillment and need to express their creativity. Each one knows what has to be done and they enjoy each moment by doing so. They enjoy the path not just the goal.

Freedom is liberation from logic.

A leader will constantly express his freedom and inspire others to express their uniqueness. Freedom is to be liberated from the so called logic and borrowed qualities, instead just being a true expression of the experience. So focus on achieving the STATE, then qualities and status will automatically follow you where-ever you go.

Feeling anything less than a leader, just by comparison is low self-esteem. Each one is a leader in ones own right. The tip is in finding that out. Not being bull dozed by competition and comparison and instead having the inner strength and individuality. To be able to encourage and inspire others also to be established in their innate strength or creativity is true leadership.

L eadership can become a good side-effect for You

Can you grow mangos from a banana plant? Can a lion trumpet like an elephant? Any borrowed qualities or expressions are mere habits. No matter how charming or lucrative some qualities may be, anything expressed without experience, anything expressed as an acquired habit is a lie. It is not your own quality, it is not the truth of your being and you will constantly be chiseling and maintaining such qualities. This just results in a lion behaving like a fox while attempting to practice the habits of an elephant.

Qualities ore side effects of Leadership.

Instead of focusing on the qualities of leadership one should focus on what your true nature is. Then your own qualities will start coming forth without any effort. You will not have to worry about maintaining or chiseling or constantly guarding these qualities. They are your true nature.

Leadership is a side effect of your true self.

Instead of focusing on leadership, one should focus on what the inner You is wanting to express. When you establish yourself in the truth of your own self, then your own immovable, unshakeable state will be achieved. Then the leadership status will follow you like a magnet.

So go after the You.

So how do we find out our true nature. Who are you for you? Why it is not possible to achieve something that is not you. Instead what you are may be much, much, much, more than who you think you want to be. So let's see what is stopping that from happening. Have patience to go little deeper, not just skin deep but a little deeper into the subtler levels and see how you are constructed. It is time to take the responsibility to read the owner's manual and explore who you really are and what kind of a leader you are and how to remove the blocks which is preventing you from unleashing that potential.

H ow 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.

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.

Even relaxing accidentally..

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.

Relaxing for success

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.

3Qs.

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.

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.

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.

SQ.

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.

Meditation should become a priority

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 not a religion Meditation is not a ritual Meditation is not chanting or any mantra Meditation is not concentration

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

Great successes of Power of intuition

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.

Awareness.

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.

Break free.

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.

Having sixth sense.

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.

Civilized sense.

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.

Sensitivity.

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.

Allow the Psychological revolution

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.

Re organize now.

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

Cooperate with the Process to unleash the You.

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.

Start at the root.

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.

L et us start at the Root

Leadership from the grass roots level. Let us get a true knowledge of our entire system. We will go into a deeper understanding at the subtler levels of construction of the entire mind body and you system. Let's take a good look at our tools and equipment. Let us see why we cannot relax, why we constantly have thoughts about past and future. Do they really help us.

Open the owner's manual.

It is time to know and get a little deeper understanding of ourselves. We will open owner's manual for our hardware and software. It is time to take responsibility to see how we are designed, how we receive and process information. How we are wired, you may call it. It is time to move away from just knowing we have outer skin, flesh, organs and bones. Let us take the responsibility to go a little deeper and see how our mind processes information. Until now all we understand about our system is just by the power of association.

Using right Power of association.

Here is a small story that happened during World War I.

After the World War I a biplane was abandoned near a remote tribal settlement to Asia. The tribal people had never seen an aircraft all their lives. There was a lot of excitement and commotion about it and a big crowd gathered around it.

They wondered what it might be and each one started giving some suggestion about it. They finally concluded that since it had wheels, it must be a bullock cart! News spread in the village about the new bullock cart. There was a lot of celebration in the village and the biplane was taken around the settlement yoked to bullocks and it served as a bullock cart.

Some weeks later, a young tribal boy who had returned from the city where he was studying, saw the biplane. He got into it and looked around. He saw all the gears and mechanisms in it. He fiddled with the switches and levers one by one. Suddenly the engine came to life. He managed to taxi the plane around on the ground for a short distance and the villagers were shocked at what they saw. The boy had seen tractors being used and declared to the people that the biplane was not a bullock cart but some kind of tractor.

Six months passed by and a retired army officer came to the village. He saw the biplane being used as a tractor and was shocked! He told the villagers that it was not a tractor and that the plane could actually fly. They refused to believe him. The only things they had ever seen flying were birds! The army officer got into the aircraft, flew it for a short while and landed. The villagers were wonderstruck. Then they understood its true potential!

We are similarly using our bodies as bullock carts without knowing its true potential. Most of us operate only at the bullock cart level at the instinct level with our unconscious mind. Some of us use our system as tractors. These are the creative artists such as Van Gogh or famous scientists, philosophers, etc. But a very few of us use our bodies to its full potential. They are the Enlightened Masters who are so ecstatic all the time. They rise beyond all miseries and just fly. They operate constantly at the intuitive levels.

Knowledge Weapon.

What was the difference in the aircraft from the time it was seen by the villagers to the time it was flown by the army officer? Nothing! The aircraft remained the same. Nothing was added to it or removed from it. No changes were made. Then what was the difference? Knowledge! The knowledge of the mechanism of the aircraft was the difference. The Knowledge about the aircraft converted its use from a bullock car to an aircraft. Similarly when we gain knowledge of our system, we will realize how we have been using it as a bullock cart.

We first need to wake up to the reality that the whole universe is nothing but energy and intelligence. There is no separation between matter and energy. What we see as physical matter is only relative to the resolution power of the tool which perceives it. This means if our eyes could see through walls we will see that something being solid is just a limitation of our perception. Everything is just a mass of energy and intelligence with different frequencies and wavelengths.

At the deepest subtle levels there is no clear demarcation between hardware and software, the body and mind.

Everything is Energy

Same way our human being system is a beautifully integrated system of mind, body and consciousness. There is not just one spot where we can say the mind exists. It is just different layers of energy waves.

The human system has 7 different energy layers or we can just call it 7 different bodies. We can also call it as 7 layers in our being.

The first layer is the physical body which you are carrying made of flesh and blood. In this layer all the memories related to lethargy are stored

The second layer is pranic layer with the pranic movements, the prana movement which is happening inside your system, like inhaling the prana which stays inside you, prana which spreads all over the body and exhaling and cleaning. In the second layer we store all our past memories related to desires.

The third layer is the inner chattering going on inside us which we call as mana shareera or the mind. In this third layer we store all our past memories related guilt.

The fourth layer is the one where all the emotions are stored. In this fourth layer all the past memories related to pain are stored.

The fifth layer is the deep sleep layer.

The sixth layer is the one which we experience only during a strong meditation technique, which is the thoughtless awareness.

The seventh layer is the ultimate super conscious layer.

They meet as chakras.

The second and third layers meet at several points along the length of the first body or physical layer. These points are known as chakras or energy centers. These chakras are spinning wheels or vortices of energy. These are boundless energy centers. They can be viewed by using Kirlian photography.

Energy Centers or Chakras

A man who has no knowledge of these chakras continues to walk on the ground, whereas a Master, who knows how to operate them, simple flies! When we understand the science behind these chakras, we can become aware of our present deep unconscious state. Once we understand this, we can free ourselves from the load of the unconscious and start moving to the higher dimensions of our Being. These chakras are not physical entities in our body. They are metaphysical representations because they belong to the auric body and not the physical body.

It is through these energy centers what we may even call as portals that the energy of the cosmos, the infinite potential energy of intuition of the existence is trying to flow through us. But it is not happening continuously in all of us because of the restlessness which is nothing but the number of thoughts.

Chakras are very intimately connected to our emotions. Whenever we experience a particular emotion, depending on whether it is positive or negative, the chakra will expand or contract accordingly. When we are functioning at an optimal level the size of the chakra is that or a cartwheel, otherwise it shrinks to the size of a coat button.

Energy = power + intelligence.

Existence, cosmos, Universe is intelligence and energy. Energy is constantly trying to flow through us through these channels. But the deposits, engraved memories, emotions shrink these energy centers and prevent the flow. The expression of energy coming out of us when the flow is unobstructed versus when the expression is obstructed by the engraved memories is different. This unobstructed flow of energy happens when we relax from these memories. This energy is the energy of Intuition. But we have become so insensitive to the happenings in our system, that we feel we have no control over the way these thoughts and memories function.

Kirlian Photography

Kirlian photography has enables us to capture these chakras and prove their existence in the metaphysical plane.

There are 70,000 energy centers in our body and 7 of them are important. When the energy transmits through these centers with out obstructions, life would be wonderful. Otherwise negative emotions would manifest. In our bodies we have seventy two thousand nerves. These are energy centers also. Our IQ can activate ten percent of these energy centers. Ancient Samurai's utilized 7,000 energy centers. Using EQ we can activate more than 7000, 10 %. With SQ we can activate all 72,000, 100% of our energy centers. Enlightened masters can utilize 100 % of their energy centers. IQ and EQ are small branches of SQ.

Negative emotions like worry, fear, attention seeking, jealousy, ego, dis-contentment obstruct the bliss to manifest which is otherwise happening constantly in us. It has been proved that when a person is locked with a particular negative emotion the chakra associated with that emotion shrinks to the size of a coat button. It becomes that small. But when the same person experiences the associated positive emotion, the chakra expands to the size of a cartwheel. This is the effect that our emotions have on these energy centers.

All diseases, ALL psychosomatic diseases manifest in these chakras before becoming prominent in the organ level or physical level. Scientists are able to detect diseases six months before they appear in the physical level with the help of the Kirlian photography. The size of the chakras determine the imbalance in the physical, emotional and mental health of the beings. When ignored and unattended at this level it shows up in the physical level. This is when it shows up as ulcers, heart problems, immune deficiency, allergies and all other diseases.

What blocks & unblocks these chakras

EMOTIONS

Emotions are nothing but the response we experience to a situation, incident, location or person based on the 'what's in it for me.' If we look from a deeper level they are high frequency thoughts. Thoughts are shafts of past and future projections of mind. There are only seven main or seven basic emotions that one can experience. They are greed, fear, worry, attention seeking, jealousy, ego and discontentment.

At a high level these emotions result in symptoms in the nervous, mental, chemical levels. One may say ulcers are caused by worries. Ulcers are looked upon as dis ease in the body. It is nothing but a chemical imbalance. It is a symptom of the continued experience of worry. Worry is a response to something, ulcer is the resultant chemical imbalance.

Worry is a host of high frequency thoughts about something negative. This is what is called as negative inner chattering. When there is incessant creation of such thoughts, the energy flow gets blocked in the Navel energy center or Manipuraka chakra. This means the energy of intuition, the pure potential energy which is flowing is getting interrupted by disturbances caused by high frequency energy flow from the inner chatter.

The first step to drop emotions is to simply watch them. The distance between you and your emotions will start increasing and you will start feeling disconnected from them.

Logical mental setup is the software.

Whether the response is fear, anger, worry, greed, fantasy, imagination, etc, all thoughts are disturbances in the inner four layers of the mind, body and you system. They are just varying frequencies and wavelengths. All these are stored memories of past and imaginations or presumptions and assumptions of future.

It is these emotions or thoughts that give birth to our mental setup and attitude. We hold on to this mental setup and try to walk a definite known pattern. As long as we hold on to this mental setup, the spontaneous energy of intuition will experience blockages.

It is this mental setup that is directly involved with our decision making capacity. This mental setup is what causes decisions to be either instinctive or intellectual or intuitive. This mental setup is the software with which we are operating.

Age of hardware.

Recent cell biology studies prove that man's expected lifespan is three hundred years. We see people at forty with gray hair, people at fifty with diseases, people at sixty with no teeth and finally at seventy five people pass away. We have a capacity to live three hundred years, but our mind creates its own reality based on what we see.

I have personally met what appeared to be a forty five year old monk in a Zen Monastery. After conversing with the monk for some time I asked the monk's age. The monk told me he was one hundred and twelve years old. I was shocked and told the monk that he looked much younger. -Then the monk told me to go inside the Monastery and I could meet other monks that were two hundred and two hundred and fifty years old, he is just middle aged.

Every cell in the body goes through a constant creation, maintenance and rejuvenation process. All cells are being replaced and rejuvenated. This is where our unconscious mental setup and patterns plays a major role. This means in our highly interconnected hardware software system, the software that we maintain or operate with directly impacts the condition of the hardware.

Mind the software

The mind is the software, and we need to mind this software. Mind the mind. This software will constitute logic or intellect and engraved memories. The logic or intellect is the ability to judge, analyze, classify, agreements, conflicts, contradictions etc. The mind operates or exists in 3 states, namely the waking state, dream state and deep sleep state.

Dropping the mind is dropping this software, which means dropping the engraved memories and the intellect. When the mind is dropped the pure energy of intuition which is intelligence will be awakened and allowed to flow through and express.

But to drop the mind, we would have to have a very clear understanding of how it operates in its myriad ways.

If you look at the two photographs above the first one may be considered a good analogy for the conscious mind. Our conscious mind is capable of using ten percent of our mind's capacity. With only ten percent of our mind we handle our life. Studies indicate that of the one hundred things happening around us at the same time, if we are able to fully comprehend just one thing we are geniuses.

The photography is a good analogy for the unconscious mind with all its engraved memories and logical calculations and decisions. Most people only use one or two percent of their mind.

Our awareness is never directed to this unconscious zone where 90% of the acquired software is operating. This is the zone which needs the psychological revolution and catharsis.

Sometimes, if your workers or subordinates convince you that without them their business cannot run then they will start exploiting you. Same way your mind has convinced you, without it you cannot run your life. That conviction is what I call suffering. That is what I call the root of suffering.

We will use a 2 key method to drop the software of logic and engraved memories. It will be a new and clear method (new-clear)!

• 1. Psychological revolution for the conscious zone to become more aware.
• 2. Powerful meditation techniques to catharsis and energize the unconscious zone

The only way to relax is to drop the acquired software, our logical mental setup with its past memories and conditionings so that the energy flow is unobstructed. It is possible to live without thoughts. It is possible to live in a state of no mind. It is only when the scientists relax completely into the state of no mind that the great theories are revealed. You have also experienced these very tiny gaps of no thought or no mind state frequently but unconsciously or accidentally because of which you have structured your limited life. But consciously relaxing to clear all the thought generating engraved memories and consciously entering into the no mind zone will enable us to actualize our entire potential.

We need to bring about a psychological revolution to courageously drop the old software in these following areas for your true leadership to unleash.

• 1. Decision Making
• 2. Communication
• 3. Fear Management
• 4. Stress Management
• 5. Motivation & Inspiration
• 6. Ego Fulfillment
• 7. Roles & Masks
• 8. Expression of leadership
• 9. Giving birth to leaders
