The Qualities of a Leader

[Guest guest]

AUM SAI RAM

“A leader must be one who leads from the front and not pushes from the back”- Sathya Sai Baba.

On Saturday 03.10.2009, the new members of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Council (Mauritius) will be selected, presented and briefed in the presence of the Zone Chairman, Mr. Kishen  Khubchandani and Dr.L. Singh, the Central Coordinator for Africa at the Sri Sathya Sai Centre of Curepipe, Wooton, Mauritius.

Bhagawan Baba has in His Immense Wisdom, laid stress on the need for the ‘selection’ and not the ‘election’ of the members of the Sai Council and Sai Committees because in an election there is division as each group puts forward its candidate.

 “‘Selection’ gives you the Chairman, male or female which you deserve” as was aptly remarked by Mr.Kishen Khubchandani, last night at a meeting with devotees at Wooton.

The Chairman of the Council or of a Committee in the Sai movement is a leader who holds a position and is looked up to by others for guidance and for qualities of SAI. He must be motivated to attempt to live up to the highest ideals of Dharma. In his relationship with others, a Sai Leader must always be initiated by Prema. He must never talk ill of others or try to demean others to win favor or to gain support.

Most of all, a Sai Leader must not be a leader of one ethnic or religious group. He should rise above all matters relating to color, caste or creed, while remaining grounded in his own religion.

A Chairman should not only be the leader of his Centre or Council, but a leader who leads all devotees of SAI to the Ocean of Universal Oneness and to the expansion of consciousness, expansion of love, expansion of knowledge and  expansion of service. He should aim at the realization of his own divinity and, also  lead each and every one of his followers to realize the SAI WITHIN, the GOD WITHIN.
