What is it? How does it work? And how can it help you stay calm in chaos, lead with clarity, and find joy in your daily life? Stay with me as we uncover these mysteries together.”
Introduction
“Hello, my dear friends! Welcome back to Corporate Daaduji, where we explore simple yet powerful lessons to succeed in work and life.
In our last episode, we talked about six steps to redefine success. Do you remember the final step? Yes, it was about being spiritually connected. But here’s the real question—what does that mean for working professionals like us?
Is it about religion? No. Is it about rituals? Not at all. It’s about something much deeper. Today, we’ll explore how spiritual intelligence can help you overcome workplace stress, build better relationships, and unlock your true potential. Ready? Let’s begin.”
What Does Spiritual Intelligence Really Mean?
“Let me take you back to a Monday morning in a typical office. Your inbox is overflowing, your boss is asking for updates, and your team needs direction. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, and maybe even a little irritated. Sound familiar?
Now imagine this—you pause, take a deep breath, and approach everything calmly, without losing your temper or energy. That’s the power of spiritual intelligence.
It’s not about doing more or being faster—it’s about staying connected to your inner self. Imagine your true self as a treasure chest filled with purpose, strength, and clarity. Spiritual intelligence is the key to unlocking that treasure.”
The Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita
“To understand this better, let’s turn to an ancient text that has guided generations—the Bhagavad Gita.
In Chapter 15, Verse 7, Lord Krishna says:
‘mamaivāmśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ’
(“All living beings are eternal parts of the Supreme Being.”)
What does this mean? Think of the ocean and a drop of water. The ocean is vast, powerful, and unstoppable. But the tiny drop of water carries the same essence.
You, my friends, are that drop. You carry the same energy as the Supreme. But here’s the twist—if we are so powerful, why do we feel weak or frustrated? The answer lies in one word: maya.“
The Illusion of Maya
“Maya is the illusion that makes us chase things like titles, bonuses, or social validation, believing they will bring us happiness.
Let me share a corporate example. Imagine you’ve worked hard for a promotion, and finally, you get it. But within weeks, the excitement fades, and you’re already thinking about the next position.
That’s maya. It tricks us into believing that happiness lies outside of us. But the truth is, no title or paycheck can fill the emptiness inside. Only spiritual intelligence can help you break free from this cycle.”
A Story of Spiritual Intelligence in Leadership
“Let me tell you the story of Arjun, a manager in a fast-paced corporate environment. His team was under immense pressure to deliver a major project. Arguments broke out, stress levels skyrocketed, and deadlines seemed impossible.
But instead of panicking, Arjun did something unexpected. He gathered his team and asked them to take a 10-minute break. During that time, they practiced mindfulness—simple breathing exercises and gratitude reflection.
The result? The team returned with renewed focus, energy, and collaboration. They not only met the deadline but exceeded expectations.
This is the magic of spiritual intelligence. It allows you to lead with calmness and clarity, even in the most chaotic situations.”
Breaking Free from Maya
“Breaking free from maya is like a bird realizing it has wings. For years, it hops around, thinking it’s stuck. But the moment it spreads its wings, it soars.
The same is true for us. When we reconnect with our spiritual core, we rediscover joy, purpose, and inner peace.
But let’s be honest—maya doesn’t give up easily. It distracts us with shiny objects—promotions, fancy gadgets, and social media likes. The key is to focus on what truly matters: your purpose and your well-being.”
Practical Exercise for Spiritual Intelligence
“Here’s a simple activity you can do to develop your spiritual intelligence.
Before starting your workday, take two minutes to do this:
- Close your eyes.
- Take a deep breath in and out.
- Think of one thing you are grateful for today—it could be a supportive colleague, a good cup of chai, or even the fact that you woke up healthy.
This small practice helps you stay connected to your inner self and approach the day with positive energy.”
Your Limitless Potential
“Let me remind you of something powerful—you are not ordinary. You are limitless.
There’s a beautiful Bengali proverb:
‘বিশ্বাসে মেলায় বস্তু, তর্কে বহুদূর।‘
(“With belief, everything is possible. With doubt, everything seems far away.”)
Swami Vivekananda said it best:
‘All power is within you. You can do anything and everything.’
The question is—do you believe in your own power? Or are you letting doubt hold you back? Your belief system defines your success.”
Conclusion
“My friends, the corporate world often tells us that success is about titles, money, and recognition. But what’s the point of success if it doesn’t bring peace?
Spiritual intelligence is not just the key to success—it’s the key to life. When you break free from maya, connect with your inner self, and align with your purpose, you’ll find a success that’s truly fulfilling and everlasting.
So, are you ready to take the first step? Start small, but start today. Begin your journey of self-discovery, and I promise, your personal and professional life will never be the same.
Thank you for watching Corporate Daaduji. Until next time, stay connected to your soul and keep shining. Jai Shri Krishna!”
