How can a ruler be succesfull?
A discourse on the qualities of an ideal ruler, synthesizing multiple yogic paths.
"Gurujī often said that a successful ruler or king can only be one who is a Rāja Yogī, a Karma Yogī, a Bhakti Yogī, as well as a Jñāna Yogī."
"Only such a person can be the true king—the king of yoga and self-discipline. That king, or that minister, can be successful. Any other will not be successful."
The speaker explains Gurujī's teaching that a true and successful leader must embody a synthesis of yogas: selfless service (Karma Yoga), loving devotion to the people (Bhakti Yoga), wisdom (Jñāna Yoga), and self-discipline implied by Raja Yoga. The talk emphasizes that this complete integration is the sole path to legitimate and effective leadership.
