While expecting things to change by the power of higher force, and at the same time working to make things happen from our side is a complete circle of action.
Unfortunately when we have too much expectation form a hope giving leader, we fail him by increasing our barometer of expectations, which no leader can humanly fulfill. This makes life frustrating, not because he failed, but because we expected things more than a leader can accomplish.
In Mahabharata, therefore Bhishmadeva advises Yudhishthira about the duties of the king and the duties of the people. They are interdependent. The growth of both the parties depend on each other, success of the citizen and success of the leader or the king, leads to the ultimate success of the King as a very effective leader. King’s positive approach and hard work, leads to confidence in the subject to do good to themselves and to their surrounding.
Adharma is not only caused by the leader but also by the subject and specially when the subject looses the enthusiasm and the desire to fight the war of life. Pampered citizens are worst enemy of the leader, he does not need any outside enemies to destroy him. Similarly an arrogant leader is sufficient to destroy the peaceful living of the citizens,
Pandavas were great leaders and their subjects were responsible to their good leadership. The pandavas and the subjects were responsible to each other. The citizens were not imaginary about their leaders, and Pandvas were not harsh and deceptive to their citizen. In Ramayana also, we notice, the subject, shared theirs joy and the sorrows with their king, and the king shared his joys and sorrows with the subject.
Rana pratap singh when he lost everything, many of his loyal citizens chose to wander along with him and would not stay in a dwelling till Rana would get back his kingdom, that was their commitment.
Gandhiji was the same inspiration, he motivated people to work like him, he created the work force, who worked hand in hand with him, and created a mass movement.
Are we willing to work with our leader to make him successful? So that he can produce desired results expected of him.
In the Mahabharata, particularly in Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna was the successful visionary and Arjuna being his subordinate, was successful executionery. Hence Krishna’s vision was made successful, by Arjuna, and Krishna, made Arjuna successful by his vision. In conclusion, the true leader gives credit to his followers, and the true followers give all glory to their leader.
