In the Indian traditional wisdom, whether scriptural wisdom or be it the folk lore, the common thread is respecting the nature’s law is of prime importance. So therefore the Great traditional wisdom in the form of Mahabharata, Ramayana, and the Bhagvata, very realistically conclude likewise in their compilation. It depicts a complete cycle of creation, maintenance, and eventually destruction, and legacy goes on for the next generation. Putting it plainly, there is birth followed by decay and finally death.
This concept could be applied in all aspects of life, what to speak of the alluring subject of Leadership.
Leadership is permanent, but not the leader, leader has to be changed with force of time and part of being good leader is to withdraw oneself from being one and move on to next stage of life, that is to fizzle out! Perhaps may sound bit cruel, but rather healthy for the future legacy.
Sadly, this wisdom is found lacking even in a so called good leader, who vainly tries to cling on to continue, by somehow bloating about past activities and holding on to their ineffective present situation, and if by hook or crook he continues, brings upon a dark and rotten future.
Therefore, even the Great Gods, in their Incarnations in human form, like Lord Sri Rama and Sri Krishna set the ideal example, as they come to establish Dharma, and part of which would be to move on in life without being attached to the position of being the Leader, in any shape or form.
Truly enough, on these footsteps , the Great leaders like the Pandavas moved on in life, after setting up someone else to rule, not monitoring or being possessive about the situation.
When the “Move On..” principle is violated it creates, dissensions, treachery, and at worst even murder. So, this would mean to end up with anarchy, amidst in those people who put on their claim to be the ‘Leaders’ , but sadly are far from being even human beings !!
