Most
great leaders have spiritual aspirations in their hearts; that's why
they’re great. If not, they’re just politicians, bad ones
at best. If they don't have spiritual goals to sustain their souls,
they can’t even be good politicians. They can't be good at anything.
So spiritual attainment is the most important thing we have to achieve
in this life before we can achieve anything else, be it financial status,
fame, name or politics. If we want to lead people, we have to first
lead ourselves out of darkness.
