This is one of my favourite Dadi Janki posts to date. “Soul conscious rather than role conscious.” Titles are so often excuses to entitlement. “Mother,” “VP,” “Owner,” “Professor.” The ego loves roles that buttress our specialness and superiority. But there is our larger duty to consider, our soul commitments. And that often calls us to go beyond our labels and social structures to be servant leaders, innocent sages, and open-minded experts.

Dear friend,
What can storms do to the soul who has God as his companion? The true server keeps God in his awareness, and maintains the consciousness of being an instrument.
To be a leader means to be a responsible instrument. Our first responsibility is to keep our thoughts, words and actions elevated. Whatever we do, others will observe us and do the same. Learn to put an end to laziness, carelessness and making excuses. Let truth and non-violence be our natural sanskars (patterns). Let our actions be an inspiration to others. See the beauty of being soul conscious rather than role-conscious.
With love,
Dadi Janki
