Famous Kathirasan K Quotes

“A mindful leader looks at his being (witnessing consciousness or awareness) as the substratum on which he plays his leadership role. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he does not. Sometimes he is the manager, then he might become a follower. But his awareness remains unchanged.”

“Being a leader is only one of many roles you might play. You also play personal roles such as a sibling, parent, child, spouse, grandparent, etc. all of these roles depend on you for their existence. But what mindfulness shows us is that your awareness can be independent of these roles.”

“Mindfulness cannot be practised in a cave. It requires active interaction with the world in the present. The place where you are is the place where you are meant to be and that is where you experiment. Your home, workplace and the society you live in is your mindfulness gym.”

“Doing depends on being, but being does not necessarily depend on doing. This relationship is key to Mindfulness-Based Leadership as we act from mindfulness and its practices and insights. It is mindfulness practices that inform action, not the other way round.”
