Guruji’s beautiful knowledge on Politics in any organization. :
“Do not let politics sway you from the path. If you are afraid of politics you cannot be successful in the spiritual realm. You have to cross the barricade of politics. It is a test of your strength, your commitment and your focus. You cannot avoid politics, but you can choose whether to harbor the politics in your mind or let it go.
There was politics among the 12 apostles. There was politics among Buddha and his followers. Krishna was immersed in politics, and you say you do no want to involve in politics??
The more you do not want it the more you harbor it in your consciousness. When you recognize politics in any group it is a blessing for you to be centered and go inwards. You can do that without blaming the group, without running away from people, without giving up. It can enhance your skill to act and to not get attached. There are many advantages in becoming involved in politics. Politics amplifies the diversity in people. It comforts you with different view points, approaches and tendencies. Enhances your ability to communicate and act. It brings centeredness and dispassion. It shakes you up and makes you stand up to the knowledge. It enhances your capacity to accept and tolerate. It makes you realize that all of life is a game. Cross the threshold of politics and come to the divine. The strong will smile thru politics and weak will lament.“
- His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar
