4) The Position of the Leader in Regards to the Principle Perspective on Life - 1
A leader, a subject, must be responsible for the whole. He must be responsible for the whole and play the role of the guide who can lead people to good places.
When he can pave the way, and lay a strong foundation so that the followers can ride on the highway, the more he does that the greater subject he is. It is very simple. It is a simple logic. Do you understand what I am saying?
When you go home and see your wife sleeping, you should be thinking, "Because I have not fulfilled my responsibility today she is behaving this way." Have you ever thought, "She is not waiting for me because I have not fulfilled my responsibility?"
Suppose that she did not even make lunch and is just taking a nap. You have to think like that. You have to think like that in all personal relationships.
When a person that you are dealing with for the first time has made a mistake, then you should think about what you have given him and how much you have invested in him.
Only by doing so, even if mistakes are made, you can find the universal laws of forgiveness. As the subject, you have to first greet him with a delightful heart before you expect him to do so, and if you expect him to greet you with a bright face when you yourself are not, then you are just a thief. What is a thief? A thief is taking things from someone else's field and eating it without working for it. This is the beginning of evil.
From this Principle perspective on life, did you understand clearly what it means to be in the position of a leader? Do you understand? [Yes] Those who do, please raise your hand. Please put it down. (81-305) |
