A few months back, I happened to listen to an audio recording of a conversation between one doctor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. To a question on what he has been upto these days, the Prime Minister responds “Sadhana”. “What kind of Sadhana?” the doctor asks. “Sadhana to control my sleep”.
The doctor remarks “You’re already known for sleeping very little. How much more you want to reduce your sleep?”, to which the Prime Minister says “I don’t want to sleep at all.” For those of you who think it is an unachievable feat, it is possible to gain control over sleep through Sadhana. Many seekers and sages achieve Sadhana for various purposes.
Taken aback by Prime Minister Modi’s response, the doctor asks “But for what?”. Modi says “This is such a great nation! But we’re still in poverty. We’ve been looted and taken for granted for a long time. I need to fix it. 20 hours is not enough. I need all 24 hours.” The conversation then goes on to PM Modi’s days in the Himalayas, his vision for the country and a lot of other things.
The doctor further asks “There are so many people out there to kill you. Aren’t you afraid?” and this is what Modi replies “The purpose of my life is to serve this nation. Until I fulfil this purpose, nobody can kill me and once my purpose has been fulfilled, nobody can save me. I am not afraid of death. I am here to fulfil my life’s calling.”
For decades, this country has been looted and kept as a third world country. Corruption and dynasty politics thrived in the political and administrative system that made the rich get richer and poor get poorer. But then there emerged a leader from the bottom of the strata who sought to challenge this system. The journey wasn’t easy though.
Over the years, a whole fraternity has ganged up on him, running negative campaigns, portraying him as a religious bigot and continuously ostracising him. But why would someone hate this man so much? Is it because he is leaving no scope for corruption? Is it because he is putting an end to the hegemony of these people? Or is it because he just doesn’t have the surname or belong to the influential family?
The truth is that these people cannot stand the sight of a person coming from a lower socio-economic strata holding power. They don’t like to see him succeed earning the love of the aam aadmi.
India has never had a leader who represented the 95% of the Indian populace, a common man hailing from a humble background. A chailwallah. Probably for the first time we have a leader who understands the aam aadmi. He understands that for change to happen in this country one needs to go beyond schemes and laws, and think out of the box.
This out-of-the-box thinking is the reason behind the pace at which things are changing for the better for the common man. For all things said about him, nobody can disagree that the way he has been dealing with different exigencies is exceptional. The man offers leadership lessons with his every move and one of the things about being a leader is that you carry your team along with you irrespective of differences and internal scuffles.
This man has been mocked at and knocked down several times before he became what he is today. So no matter how much one tries to bring him down, he will continue to rise up further and further.
It takes enormous grit, guts, and strength to take all this in and emerge victorious. It is because of the penance of great sages and the blessings of all good souls of this land that we have someone like Narendra Modi as our Prime Minister. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we as a nation are not just taking strides but giant leaps, with the world looking at India as the Vishwa Guru.
On his birthday, I extend my heartfelt wishes and pray to God for his good health!
