Title
The DNA of Leadership
Description:
In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda gives a new definition of Responsibility. When we realize that we are the source of everything -- each of us is God --, we understand that we are responsible for everything. Whatever is going on in the world, if it has any effect on us we are responsible for it, even events over which we may think we have no control. The concept of blaming others, or of finding an excuse for not accomplishing our goals, ceases to exist. We discover how to be leaders. Responsibility is the spiritual DNA for leadership, gifting us with the understanding to resolve problems far beyond what we felt we could cope with before.

iss samay hamaare saath upastith sabhi darshakon aur bhakton ka main prem evam aashirvad sahith swagath kartha hoon.
aaj ham jeevan ka teesra tattva uttardaayitva lena kaise aapke mann chaahe vaastaviktha kaa nirmaaN kar saktha hain uske baare mein baath karenge.
Today I will expand on the third principle – RESPONSIBILITY – and the unique relationship Responsibility carries, the unique equation it carries to construct the reality of your choice.
Let me define Responsibility once more. Please listen! I am defining Responsibility. Living and responding, means, thinking, feeling, acting, cognizing to life from the truth that you are the source of everything, therefore, you are responsible for all happenings inside you and around you.
dhyan se suniye, please listen!
uttardaayitva ki paribhasha punah suniye. Uttardaayitva ka arth hain jeevan ko iss satya ke saath jeena aur pratikriya vyakth karna ki aapke andar aur baahar honewale sabhi paristithiyon ka mool kaaran evam uttardaayi aap swayam hain.
uttardaayitva ka arth hain jeevan ko iss satya ke saath jeena aur pratikriya vyakth karna ki aapke andar aur baahar honewale sabhi paristithiyon ka mool kaaran evam uttardaayi aap swayam hain.

Thinking, feeling, acting, responding, cognizing from the truth you are the source of everything.
Listen! I am neither talking to you some corporate values and principles, nor talking to you what some Rishis have uttered in some Upanishads. I am talking to you directly which I experienced, which you have to experience. I am talking from the context of being responsible for making you responsible.
Please be very clear, the person who talks has only one reason of making you responsible. I am responsible to make you experience Responsibility as I experienced.
Person with eye is responsible to give vision to a blind person.
Person with wealth is responsible to guide poor man to wealth.
Person with power is responsible to make powerless people to become powerful.
Person with energy is responsible to make energyless people with energy.
Person with knowledge is responsible to make ignorant people knowledgeable.
If you have knowledge, the moment you have knowledge, you become responsible to make ignorant knowledgeable. If you are powerful, you become responsible to make powerless powerful. If you are wealthy, you become responsible to make poor wealthy.
Listen! I am not saying distribute your wealth! If you are having ten poor people, and you distribute all your wealth to the ten poor people, we will have eleven poor people; that’s all! With you we will have eleven poor people; one more poor person! NO! I am not asking you to distribute your wealth; but take responsibility of educating them and making them rich. Anything you own, you become responsible to share it; make it grow.

Vedic tradition beautifully says - Annam Bahu Kurveetha! Let us create and share! This is the vision statement I have given for all the Annalayas getting started all over the world. All the satsanghis should know, I have initiated a project of sharing of food all over the world, because sharing food is Vedic culture. We are agriculture society. Vedic tradition is grain-based society, grain-based civilization. So, sharing was our lifestyle. That is why, no ritual, no festival, no celebration is complete in Indian tradition without sharing food.
Annam Bahu Kurveetha! When you own, you become responsible to make everyone own. Because I own Responsibility, I own the responsibility of making everyone own the Responsibility.
main koi corporate siddhant ke baare mein nahi baath kar raha hoon naaki koi rishi muni ke kahe huve vaakya ko punah keh raha hoon. main apni swayam ki anubhav ke saath iss satya ke baare mein aapko bathaa raha hoon.
There are only two types of human-beings on the Planet Earth -
• who feel responsible for everything • who don’t feel responsible for anything.
There are only two types of human-beings.
Listen! People who feel responsible become Leaders. People who don’t feel responsible continue to be Slaves.
There are some people don’t feel responsible even for their own actions because they forgot their action is going to bring this result. Many time, even when they plan for the business, they only plan if it fails whom they will hold responsible! They don’t plan to make it successful. Holding somebody responsible is not going to solve your problem. Plan for success!
Don’t do, when you plan itself if you get an idea, “If this fails what to do?” immediately you think, ‘I will hold him responsible!’ But you holding him responsible is not going to bring you success. While the thought comes ‘I will hold him responsible’ cut it. Holding anybody responsible is not going to solve the issue. See to it he is educated to make things successful.
9:52
Listen! How many of you cognize, listen! How many of you cognize, what I am saying, that when you plan, many time in your mind if you think you can hold somebody responsible, you think you have planned perfectly? Raise your hand.
You are wrong! Holding somebody responsible is not going to make the work happen.
Listen! Work not done + valid reason is not equalent to work done!
Work not done + valid reason is not equalent to work done!
Work done is ONLY equalent to work done. Anything else is not equalent to work done.
There are some people who work. The only thing they know - how to manipulate the boss! That’s all! How to answer the boss! How to manipulate the boss! How to stop the boss pushing him! That’s all! With that only one thing, they spend their whole life and retire also! Of course, the day they join the work and the day they learn this art of not allowing anybody to make them feel responsible, they are retired! Retirement does not happen. It is not decided based on the day you stop going to the office. It is based on the day you stop taking responsibility!
shakthishaali vyakthi zimmedaar hain shakthi heen logon ko shakthishaali banaane ke liye.
dhanvaan vyakthi zimmedaar hain nirdhan ko dhanvaan stithi mein lane ke liye.
vaise hi gnani ka uttardaayitva hain agyan logon ko gyan ka maarg dikhana.
aap jo bhi cheez ke maalik hain uss cheez ko sabke saath baanTna aapka uttardaayitva hain.
12:32
You become responsible to make everyone responsible.
Listen! There are some category who don’t take responsibility even for the actions they do or they are supposed to do; even for their own existence! Because, the actions they did, they did not visualize the results are going to come this way. They don’t take responsibility even for their own actions.
Second, there are few people who take responsibility for their action. People who don’t take responsibility even for their own action, remain as slave forever.
People who take responsibility for their action, live as human-beings, a middle-class life: one house, one car, one wife, two kids, may be one affair somewhere! A middle-class life! What I call neo-middle-class, happening in India.
Life lived as mediocre, middle level, is not going to be fulfilling.
There is another one class: People who take responsibility even for others actions. When you take responsibility even for others actions, others irresponsibility, you become Leader.
Even if you are not reason for certain happening, if it is affecting you, only if you take the responsibility you will solve it.
I will tell you from my own experience. All the attack, persecution done on me is done by the group of atheists. I am not responsible for the atheism spreading. Thirty years before my birth, it has started spreading in Tamil Nadu. I am not directly reason, but I am going to take the responsibility to eradicate it, because it is affecting my life. Listen, I am not reason for atheism spreading. But because it is affecting my life and my mission, now I am responsible to eradicate it. Only when I take responsibility even for others actions, I will be able to solve the problem from the root, at the root level.
Whatever may be disturbing you and your life’s mission, dhyan se suniye, whatever may be disturbing you and your life’s mission, even if you are not reason, you are responsible!
Listen! Being a reason is different. Being responsible is different!
Many time, even if you are not directly reason, only when you take the responsibility, it is solved. Leaders are created with a DNA of Responsibility. Responsibility is the software for leaders inner space.

kaarya ka sampann na hona aur usske liye …vaid… kaaran hona kaarya ke sampann hone ke baraabar nahi hain.
dharthi par keval do tarah ke prani hain –
ek jo har cheez ke liye swayam ko zimmedaar maanthe aur
doosre vah log jo swayam ko kisi cheez ke liye bhi zimmedaari nahi maanthe hain.
jab aap apne jeevan ke paristithiyon ke liye uttardaayitva nahi lethe hain tab aap ek ghulam bankar jeethe hain
jab aap swayam ke paristithiyon ke liye uttardaayitva lethe hain tab aap ek saadhaaran maanav ki tarah jeethe hain aur
jab aap swayam ke saath anya logon ki paristithiyon bunnthe hain aur eeshwaratva ki stithi ka anubhav kar sakthe hain.
Dhyan se suniye, anya logon ki paristithiyon ka bhi uttardaayitva lethe hain tab aap netha banthe hain aur eeshwaratva ki stithi ka anubhav kar sakthe hain
Again I want to remind you, if a egg is broken from outside, a life is destroyed; it is end of the life; life is killed. If a egg is broken from inside, life is happening; a life starts!
If the egg is broken from outside, life ends, if the egg is broken from inside, life starts!
If your cognition is broken from outside, you shrink, demolish yourself, destroy, fall into depression. It happens if you are irresponsible. If you stand with responsibility, egg breaks from inside; life starts!
19:20
ek netha ka sruujan keval zimmedaari ke saath hi hotha hain.
Not only take responsibility for your actions, take responsibility for everything which affects your life, even if it is others actions. Only when you feel, when you decide you are responsible, you will even look into the direction of solving the problem. Only then you will solve the problem. Till then you will be just blaming: ‘He is responsible!’ ‘He is responsible!’ ‘He is responsible!’ ‘He is responsible!’ All right! Blaming each one is responsible is not going to get you successful. May be you can manage your boss saying, ‘He is responsible!’ ‘He is responsible!’ ‘He is responsible!’
Why we don’t take responsibility? First step in our life, if you are receiving ten thousand rupees salary from your office, you think, ‘Oh, for the ten thousand I am taking already enough responsibility! Why should I take more responsibility when they are paying only ten thousand to me?’
Don’t be foolish! Taking responsibility is first going to help you to live a expanded life. It is not the favor you are doing for your boss. Listen! First thing you need to understand, the ten thousand which is paid is not equivalent to you and your service. Second, you need to understand, by you not taking the responsibility, you are not destroying your boss’s possibility, you are destroying your possibility. It is like you destroy your possibility and you think your boss will be suffering. You drink poison you expect your boss to die!
When you don’t take responsibility, you destroy your possibility!
21:56
First decide you are going to be in your peak possibility by constantly taking responsibility. Taking responsibility is the right mental set-up. It is not that you are doing some favor to somebody by taking responsibility. By taking responsibility, you are doing favor to yourself! It is the greatest favor you do to you. When you break that pattern “Why should I take the responsibility?” your life starts! When you build the pattern “Why should I take the responsibility?” your death starts! When you stop taking responsibility, even if you are alive you are not living. You are waiting to be buried!
punah suniye agar anDa baahar se TooTtha hai vah mruthyu prapth kar letha hain. aur jab vah anDa andar se TooTtha hain tab vah jeevan ko prapth kar letha hain. keval jab murgi uttardaayitva letha hain tab vah anDa jeevan kaa roop letha hain.
keval uttardaayitva lene se hi aap aapke mann chaahe vaastaviktha ko jeevan ke roop mein anubhav kar sakthe hain.
jo kuch bhi aapke jeevan aur jeevan ke uddeshya ki safaltha mein baadha Daaltha hain, bhale hi aap usske liye kaaran roop nahi hain fir bhi aap swayam usske liye zimmedaar hain.
24:10
Unless you feel you are responsible, you will never look into solving any issue. Cognitive shift, unless the cognitive shift happens in you - “I am responsible for everything!” nothing, nothing is possible! Listen! Let the cognitive shift happen in you. Let you understand “I am responsible for everything!”
Person who does not feel he is responsible for anything, lives as Slave. Person who feels responsible for money, becomes Vaishya. Person who feels responsible for weapon, becomes Kshatriya. Person who feels responsible for knowledge, becomes Braahmana. Person who feels responsible for the whole world, becomes Sannyasi.
Sannyasi is not a person who does not feel responsible. He is not “out-fit” of the society; He is the “over fit” of the society!
aapko koi bhi samasya kaa samaadhaan tabhi praapth ho sakthi hai jab aap iss manobhaavana ke saath jiye ki aapke jeevan mein ho rahe har sangharsh ke liye aap swayam uttardaayi hain.
When you feel you are responsible, I tell you, even your body will be ready to be healed, not just mind! When you feel responsible, your mind will be already healed, body will be ready to be healed; even the society will change its attitude towards you! The people with whom you live, they will change their attitude towards you!
Listen! Whole world is a hologramic structure. Universe is a hologramic structure. What is there in the macrocosm is there in the microcosm. If you have seen hologram, what is the largest picture? For example, if there is a 10 meter by 10 meter hologram, if there is a picture, photograph, even if you cut that into 10 millimeter by 10 millimeter, that same picture will be there inside that. That is what I call hologram. That is hologram.
27:09
The universe functions with the principle of hologram. Means, whatever is in the macrocosm, the whole universe, is there just inside your body, microcosm! If you dissect, dissect, dissect, go into a small atom, the Brahmaanda will be there in that Pindaanda. Whatever is there in the Pindaanda, is there in the Brahmaanda. Cosmos functions with the principle of hologram.
Responsibility is the DNA which awakens the cosmic hologram in you, macrocosmic hologram in microcosmic body. If you want to experience the macrocosmic hologram in the microcosm, awaken Responsibility. When you feel responsible, your whole life changes!
poora brahmanD ek hologram CHaya hai. aap uss chaya ki koi bhi bhaag ko nikaal kar dekhe toh aap dekhenge ki vah bhaag uss poorN chaaya ki pratibimb hai.
Macrocosm and microcosm is just mirroring each other’s possibility.
isi tarah aap bhi poore brahmaanD ki ek anokha CHaya hai. keval zimmedaari se hi aapko yeh anubhav hoga.
When you feel the responsibility for Existence, you become Existence and Existence feels responsible for you.
keval zimmedaari lene se hi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ki aap poore brahmaanD ka ek pratibimb hai. tabhi, listen, dhyan se suniye, tabhi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ki aap poore brahmaanD ke liye uttardaayi hai aur poora brahmaanD aapke liye uttardaayi hain.
pehle yeh taii ki jiye ki aap apne kshamatha ke charanseema mein rahenge. zimmedaari lene se aap swayam par sabse bada ehsaan karthe hain. jab aap zimmedaari na lene ki manovridhdhii ko thod dethe hain aapka jeevan aarambh hotha hai. jab aap yeh manovruddhi ko banaathe hain aapki mruthyu aarambh hothi hain.
jab tak aap swayam ko zimmedaar hone ka anubhav nahi karenge aap kabhi bhi koi bhi masale ko suljhaane ke liye prayatna nahi karenge. masale ko suljhaane ke liye prayatna nahi karenge.
keval zimmedari lene se hi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ke aap poore brahmaaanD ka ek pratibimb hain. tabhi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ki aap poore brahmaanD ke liye uttardaayi hain aur poora brahmaanD aapke liye uttardaayi hain.
31:29
If you feel you are poor, take responsibility to it.
If you feel you are sick, take responsibility to it.
If you feel you are not having right relationship in the life, take responsibility for it.
If you feel you are not in the right space, take responsibility for it.
If you feel you are not in the right place, take responsibility for it.
Take responsibility for everything continuously.
keval zimmedari lene se hi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ke aap poore brahmaaanD ka ek pratibimb hain. tabhi aapko yeh anubhav hoga ki aap poore brahmaanD ke liye uttardaayi hain aur poora brahmaanD aapke liye uttardaayi hain.
I have seen some people shivering in front of responsibility. Responsibility is not Death which has come to take away your life. He is Yama to come to make you enlightened! Be authentic like Nachiketa. Death will be Yama to make you enlightened!
Constantly feeling, go on feeling responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible. Go on feeling responsible, responsible, responsible for everything. When you feel responsible, your inner space will find solution for it; find solution for it. When you feel responsible, your inner space will find responsible for it.
agar aapko lagtha hai ki aap sahi jagah ya stithi mein nahi hain toh uss jagah ko parivartith karne ke liye aap uttardaayitva lijiye. tab aap yeh dekhenge ki aapke saamne koi bhi sangharsh ya samasya zyaada samay tak jeevith reh nahi paayega.
34:05
Responsibility makes your ordinary desire to the ultimate space of desirelessness as reality in your life. Your ordinary desire to have good meal tomorrow to your desire to be in desireless space of enlightenment forever, everything becomes reality, is realized when you take responsibility. Responsibility is not cognitive shift. Daya sit up. It is just new cognition itself. With responsibility, the new life, new possibility happens to you. New being happens to you. With everything, you become new person. So, naturally, everything responds to you as new person. Responsibility is a universal value - as an individual for you to flourish in your life or as a family to be a stable family or as a team to deliver what you have to deliver or as a community to be supporting each other - in every level, Responsibility.
I tell you, when you serve teaching responsibility, you become Leader. I have seen many people serve their whole life, but never become Leader.
lagaathaar swayam ko zimmedaar zimmedaar zimmedar mehsoos keejiye. jab aap swayam ko zimmedaar anubhav karthe hain aapka antaraakash samaadhaan khoj letha hain. aapka antharaakash iskeliye zimmedaar ho jaathe hain jaatha hain.
36:49
I started feeling responsible at the age of 11. There was a religious riot in Thiruvannamalai much before my birth. One day, one cricket match was happening; of course, when I was 11-year-old boy. Those days, radio was very popular. So, in one match, I was never interested in the cricket from the beginning. In one cricket match, India lost, Pakistan won. One of my classmate Muslim boy he was jumping and enjoying; celebrating it. So my Maths teacher told that boy, ‘Ye, India is your country! You should not celebrate the loss of India!’ But that boy was telling, ‘No! My people taught me Pakistan is our country!’ So he was celebrating. I was seeing this conversation. I could not understand. As a 11-year-old boy, I do not know what is Pakistan, what is India, first of all. And what is cricket also I do not know. But this Maths teacher is kind of a close friend to me. I asked him, ‘What is happening? Why are you telling that boy what you are telling?’ He was my friend. We used to play together.
In those days, the Indian villages never had this problem of different religion and all that. It was like a one family, one society. So I was asking the teacher, why you are telling what you are telling, then the teacher was explaining to me that ‘This is India. That is Pakistan and our country lost in the cricket and he should not be celebrating for it, but he is celebrating, because enemy country won.’
I was only bothered about only one thing. I asked him immediately, ‘If our country lost means will they take away our temple?’ That is all is the first thing I asked. He said, ‘No, no, no! It is only cricket match! We will not lose Arunachaleshwara temple!’ Because that was my life! I did not bother about what is India, what is Pakistan, what is cricket. I only know one thing - in my life, very important is that Arunachaleshwara Temple where whole day I play and where I live!
‘Will they take away our temple?’ That’s all I asked!
He said, ‘No, no, no! Don’t worry! The temple will not be taken away. The temple will be continue to be with us.
Then I was not interested in anything. I left it. Then I said, ‘Alright, then I don’t care!’ You go, and I went away.
39:58
After a few days, in some other situation, he was explaining that to few of us who go to his house for tuition and all that. So he was explaining. That time he said there was a riot in our place long before. Two religions, religious people attacked each other and killed each other. It was a Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Then first time I was budding in responsibility.
I asked him “what can we do that this should never happen again?”
He said “we should organize programs, festivals, functions and we should invite them and we should go to their function.”
I said “yes I will do” and first time in my life I organized one Ganesh Chaturthi and called some of my Muslim friends and celebrated.
And then I went to the local mosque. After they finish their chanting they will come and blow the through the mouth and bless the visitors. In villages still it is there. Once they finish their Quran chanting they will come out and blow the air by chanting Quran. So I went to attend that ritual.
I tell you, after I decided to take the responsibility, even idea about me changed for myself. What I was feeling about me to me itself has changed. I was a different person. I tell you, this incident I’ll say as more important for my happening than my spending time with Arunagiri Yogishwara!
LISTEN! Listen the statement I am making! I will say, this incident is more responsible for my happening, because, Arunagiri Yogishwara anyhow it would have happened. To realize who I am is not a big thing. But to take the responsibility for who I am is the real thing!
Realizing who I am is not the real thing. Taking responsibility for who I am is the real thing!
43:07
uttardaayitva aapki saadhaaran vaastaviktha jaisi koi mann chaaha khaane ko prapth karna uss stithi se lekar aapki sarvashreshTHa vaastaviktha jo har ichCHa se pare rehna ka stithi hain uss stithi mein aapko parivartith kartha hain.
My experience with Arunagiri Yogishwara was only the “realization of who I am”. But this incident is “taking responsibility for who I am”!
That was the first function I organized. I went round and collected money from all my pre-monastic family, friends, even in the street. Went and called the local VIPs as a guest, the temple evo, officers and organized pandal, garlands, decoration items. I myself decorated with a few disciples and all the music instruments, arathi vessels. I think almost all department I started that day. Publication department, Spreading department, Temple, Sacred Arts, almost all departments I started at the age of eleven! What we are doing as Sangha now, I started doing at the age of eleven! I tell you, from that time I was just continuously expanding, expanding, expanding! Life was just expanding, expanding and expanding! Nothing but expanding!
keval uttardaayitva hi aapko aapke uchchatham kshamatha mein stapith kartha hain. keval uttardaayitva hi aapke jeevan ko lagaathaar vistaarith kartha hain.
45:37
If you are a housewife, take responsibility of that. If you are working, take responsibility for that. If you are a father, take responsibility for that. If you are a student, take responsibility for that. If you are a son, take responsibility for that. Whatever dimensions you have in your life, take responsibility for everything.
jab aap zimmedaari lene ka faisla karthe hain swayam ke baare mein aapki dhaaraNa badal jaathi hain. keval uttardaayitva hi aapko aapke uchchatham kshamatha mein stapith kartha hain. keval uttardaayitva hi aapke jeevan ko lagaathaar vistaarith kartha hain. isiliye aapke andar evam baahar honewale har cheez ke liye uttardaayitva leejiye.
agar aap ek pitha hain tab uske liye uttardaayitva leejiye.
agar aap ek patni hain tab uske liye uttardaayitva leejiye.
har cheez ke liye lagaathaar uttardaayitva leejiye.
jab aap zimmedaari lene ka nirNay karthe hain swayam ke baare mein aapki dhaaraNa parivartith ho jaathi hain, aapki dhaaraNa parivartith ho jaathi hain
Unless you experience the ultimate, you experience the reality, your life is not going to end, you are not going to feel the fulfillment, you are not going to experience completion. Ultimate will happen only when you take responsibility, only when you become responsible. Only when you become responsible, the ultimate happens.
48:21
Let you know very clearly, let you know very clearly, unless you take responsibility, nothing in your life will be solved. When you take responsibility, everything in your life will start happening as you want. You will create the reality of your choice.
keval jab uttardaayitva ke saath aap apni uchchtham stithi mein rehkar jeethe hain tabhi aap apni jeevan ka asli vaastaviktha se aapki parichay hothi hai. apne jeevan ka asli vaastaviktha se aapki parichay hothi hai.
Dhyan se suniye, keval jab uttardaayitva ke saath aap apni uchchtham stithi mein rehkar jeethe hain tabhi aap apni jeevan ka asli vaastaviktha se aapki parichay hothi hai.
It is responsibility which makes you experience you are a Being. Only responsibility makes you experience you are possibility. Responsibility makes you experience everything you want in your life. Responsibility makes you experience the choice of your reality.
Aaj ke satsang ka saaraansh hain, the essence of today’s satsang:
Responsibility only can make you experience your choice of reality.
Responsibility makes you experience the highest possibility.
Responsibility makes you experience highest reality.
keval uttardaayitva se hi aap apne uchchtham kshamatha mein jee sakthe hain aur apni ichcha anusaar vaastaviktha ka srujan evam anubhav kar sakthe hain. isliye lagaathaar apne andar evam baahar honewale har cheez ke liye uttardaayitva leejiye.
