HOW TO BECOME INFLUENTIAL?

HOW TO BECOME INFLUENTIAL?

One has to first decide for what purpose one desires to become influential person.

The probable reasons may be -

• the desire not to get influenced by others.
• the desire to get the work done by others correctly/in one's own favour.
• for selfish purpose.
• the desire for commercial gains.
• the desire to improving others.
• the desire to bring transformation in people’s life on their spiritual path.

Setting aside all other probable reasons, considering the last important reason, let me ponder.

When one desires to influence other's life it must be a serious and benevolent desire.

For this,the basic intention being good one,one has to be balanced minded. For this one must be aware of one's own sarasar vivek and the ability to apply the same for serving as guidance to the people on their path of spirituality.

And further one must make others aware of their sarasar vivek and the methods to build it strongly in the course of life.

Now how to build, improve and strengthen one's sarasar vivek?

For this one can first make oneself aware of good values in life. One must understand what are the supreme values in life. Like love, peace, freedom, welfare of human and so on. 

Quality reading is one of the best way to serve the above purpose.

And remember,only reading is not enough. One must try to implement what the good values learnt in one's own life on the way to achieve transformation in own life.

Engaging oneself in the company of wisdom, i e sat sang, is another effective way.

For this one need not to go for physical company but one must meditate on the good teaching of wise people. This will serve the purpose.

And when one has intention of influencing others for their own good, and not for own vested interests, that gives added strength for influencing others.
