Is Too Much Power Bad for Leaders?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If leaders feel an excessive desire for power, the first thing they must do is decide to set a clear condition: leadership must be determined solely by the measure of kindness and love that they have for those under their responsibility. They must ask themselves about how they intend to act with goodness, and how they plan to fill the space entrusted to them with love.

It is insufficient to hear promises or look at a long list of planned actions. Such a list will be of no help here. What matters is a continuous, uncompromising review of their leadership on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. We must examine whether the leader indeed acts according to criteria of kindness and love. The moment we see that they deviate from such criteria, they must be immediately dismissed.

Then, behind the leader, there should always be a queue of people fighting not for personal power, but for the right to express kindness, to manifest the power of love toward society. Leadership must become a battleground for who can best serve others with true love.

Will Humans Ever Stop Inventing?

Humanity keeps inventing more and more because it wants to achieve a serene and good life.

However, the opposite happens. Take nuclear energy, for example. We say it is for peaceful purposes, but at the same time, it has the power to enact mass destruction and death in a moment.

The reality is that we humans cannot invent anything truly good or kind.

The only invention that we could consider beneficial and eternal for humanity is the correction of egoistic human nature. No other invention or discovery would ever bring us happiness.

However, we first must realize that we live with an evil nature. It drives us forward to constant friction, dissatisfaction, and turmoil. The world today stands in confusion, no longer knowing what to do with itself.

We once believed socialism would save us. Before that, it was communism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, i.e., one ideology after another. We had hopes that these systems would create a better world. Today, we already see how every attempt quickly brings us closer to realizing evil. No system can truly correct human nature from its egoistic state to an altruistic one.

For a long time, humanity was developing along a linear path, i.e., egoism was growing, and this would eventually lead to a new society. However, today, egoism has turned inward. We have become like one global village, interconnected and entangled in one another. Yet, humanity stubbornly continues its research and its inventions, refusing to recognize the evil within.

However, humanity will be unable to stop with its research and inventions. We will reach a point where humanity itself will say, “It would have been better had we not invented all this.” Just like today we already question whether discovering atomic energy was a blessing or a curse, so too we will regret much more.

It is written: “He who increases knowledge increases sorrow,” and also, “He who increases wealth increases suffering.” These words are more relevant today than ever before.

However, we cannot stop this pursuit of knowledge and wealth. Egoism drives us relentlessly. It will not let us stop. It keeps pushing us forward, not toward real progress, but toward the realization of our own evil.

We must come to understand that the world we live in cannot be fixed by improving it in an external manner. Instead, we need to rise above it. We need to change ourselves. Humanity will reach this understanding, and that time is drawing nearer.

What Changes Today’s Human Civilization? How?

The force changing humanity today is nature’s source force of love, bestowal, and connection. It is a force that manifests specifically in the human being, who is the highest stage in nature’s development. It changes us because it directs itself specifically at us.

What is this force changing us into? It is changing us into a completely integrated, interconnected, and interdependent entity that requires us to realize that we need positive connections—with attitudes of pure love and bestowal fueling these connections—in order to experience this interconnected state harmoniously.

The sooner we reach a positive integral interaction with mutual support, encouragement, and care in our connections, the sooner we as humanity will enter into balance and harmony with nature. That is the key to impacting the next major shift we need to accomplish in our evolution: to realize the connection nature is evolving us to in a positive manner, and thus reach a state of happiness, complete fulfillment, and eternity.

This will visibly manifest between us. We will see it before our very eyes.

Are We Responsible for the World We Live In?

When I look at the world today, I see that there are already eight billion of us. And yet, very few are ready to say, “I am the one who needs to learn.” Everyone points at others: “They are bad people. They are selfish. They are the reason we suffer.” That is the automatic reaction, the go-to formula.

But how will we come to understand that it is us who require education? Only through blows. There is no other way. If we believe we are so good, then why is the world in such a terrible state?

People often say, “The world is bad because others are bad.” But if everyone thinks that way about everyone else, then what do we have? A bad world. And of course, everyone excuses themselves.

We will continue to think like this until something so heavy falls upon us that we will no longer be able to justify ourselves. By doing so, we summon trouble, problems, and crises upon ourselves. Instead of correcting ourselves and changing our egoistic qualities to their altruistic opposite, we calm ourselves down with lies: “I am good. Others are bad.” This attitude inevitably brings disaster upon the world.

Real education begins when we learn how to examine ourselves. We need to look at ourselves and ask: “What am I like?” We must recognize that we owe everything to others, that I am the only one who is uncorrected. All the faults I see—a liar, a thief, a deceiver, a hater—are not others. They are me.

There are no others at all. What I see outside are reflections of my own flaws. I see eight billion people around me, and each one portrays a certain negative quality within me. That is how I am projected onto the world.

So when I observe evil, when I see an evil person, what must I do? I should correct myself. Then I will begin to see a different world, one that is more united, and which strives to altruistic relations, love, and positive human connection. I begin to realize that it is all one system, which is all me.

I absorb the world into myself and become that one system. What we currently perceive is a fragmented truth, which is broken apart by our own inner egoism. If we were to gather all of these broken pieces into a single image, we would discover ourselves living in a single well-oiled system of harmonious and peaceful relations.

That is the task before us: to gather the world and say, “This is me. This world depends on me.” I am responsible for everything, for everyone. Every person, even the simplest and most ordinary, carries responsibility for the entire world to the extent that each one finds oneself in it.
