SUMMARY:Concepts From Advaita for Developing Conscious Leaders
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be delivered in three parts: \n\nAn Overview of Advaita Vedanta; \nCharacteristics  of a Good Leader;  \nQ & A\n\nThe Pinnacle of Advaita teaching is the Doctrine that “There is no creation; none is ever born (ajAti vAda)”  — 4 Upanishads + 3 Special Treatises declare so in one voice !!! \nWhat then is this “World” perceived by us? \n\nPerception is self-deception; \nThere is a Perception – Reality Disconnect; \nSeeing is NOT Believing; \n\nJust like a dream world with all its paraphernalia disappears when one  wakes up from dream\, the awake world too goes when one awakens from the awake world! \nThe really real ‘Reality’ is one homogeneous\, indivisible\, boundless\, eternal\, all-pervading nameless “That” which is Complete within Itself\, a mass of Sentience\, absolutely lacking nothing\, has no hunger and thirst\, never born\, no decrepitude and that One is what you yourself truly are! \nThe World is nothing but a Common Consensual Controlled Hallucination. We project it ourselves. It’s not one world and 8 billion of us; it’s One Reality and 8 billion worlds! \nWe shall do a brief Experiment to ‘feel’ and ‘know’ (smavedana) “That” (also indicated by the pointer word\, brahman). \nFor those who believe that they are born into a pre-existing world\, the tradition adopts a compassionate concessionary “Model” in imparting the Non-dual message. The “Model” uses the technique of “Superimposition and Sublation.” That means\, the teacher tentatively accepts your idea — this is the first step called deliberate ‘Superimposition’ of a non-existing world. Next\, over a series of steps\, the superimposed world is rescinded\, as the student is able to grok the teaching at each level. This step is called ‘Sublation.’ (13.13\, BGB). \nAs a part of this ‘superimposition’ of a created world\, also come a team of great Managers and Leaders who are vested with the “running” of this huge huge enterprise called ‘Creation.’ They are the “Ex-Officio In-charges of Creation” (AdhikArika puruSha-s – see 3.3.32\, BSB). One finds the description of the nature and characteristics of such Divine  AdhikArika puruSha-s sprinkled all over our scriptures. The general public loves them and would like to follow in their footsteps as they are incontestably the most ideal and lovable Leaders. They also go by the name of jIvanmukta-s\, sthitaprajna-s; kritakritya-s; &C. \nThey are the ones who abide as that Infinite “brahman.” We shall look into their characteristics and the “desirable” qualities of a Modern Leader as envisaged by some of the leading Institutes like Harvard Business School etc. Some of the notable features are: Equanimity; Impartiality; Free and Fair 2-way Communication; Upliftment of all; Visionary nature;  Purity in Thought\, word  and Deed and so on. \nWe are endowed with two Visions – the Eternal and the mundane. We have to re-engineer ourselves to using the Eternal Vision to be a jIvanmukta. (1.4.10\, 3.4.2\, 4.3.23\, BUB; 116\, aparokShAnubhUti). \nWe will then have a Q & A Session. \n14 April 2023\, Friday  \nTime : 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST | 08:00PM to 09:30PM IST
