WEBVTT 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:16.160 Hi, this is SunDeep and what I am about to share 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.179 with you today will change how you see every 00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:25.879 government policy, every institution, every system 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.460 that claims to serve you because I have spent 00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:34.219 years working with leaders across the globe and 00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:37.439 I have discovered something that will shake you 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.479 to your core. Every system we have built has 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.619 touched your life in ways you never asked for. 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.560 From taxes to education, from jobs to financial 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.920 structures, from technology to governance, none 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.600 of them have escaped this crisis and none of 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.019 them have solved what they were mean to. I am 00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:10.239 not here to give you another analysis. No, that's 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.980 not my work. I am not here to debate politics 00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:18.519 or policies. That too doesn't belong to me in 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.920 a traditional way. I am here to tell you what 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.010 I have witnessed first hand. in the corridors 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:32.109 of power, in the minds of leaders who shape your 00:01:32.109 --> 00:01:36.810 reality and in the very soul of governance itself. 00:01:38.810 --> 00:01:43.349 Every system that we have built from again taxes 00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:47.969 to education, from jobs to governance, from technology 00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:51.750 to the very structures that shape our daily lives 00:01:52.109 --> 00:01:56.329 They have all touched us in ways we never asked 00:01:56.329 --> 00:02:03.670 for. And somehow we have just accepted it. We 00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:07.269 keep updating policies like patches on an old 00:02:07.269 --> 00:02:11.330 machine, hoping something will finally run smoother. 00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:16.569 But behind every improvement, there's this deep 00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:21.400 gap that keeps growing every single time. The 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.180 gap between people and systems. Between what 00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:29.159 we promised and what we actually got. Between 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.539 hope and what we have learned to settle for. 00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:37.580 And here's what hurts the most. We weren't forced 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:41.919 into this. No, we weren't forced into this. We 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:49.000 chose to look away. When I say policy that forget 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.030 the people. I am not talking about one specific 00:02:54.030 --> 00:03:00.150 group, not one caste, not one income class, not 00:03:00.150 --> 00:03:05.509 one region. I mean, I am talking about people 00:03:05.509 --> 00:03:11.030 as people, humans, not labels. Now think about 00:03:11.030 --> 00:03:16.930 it. Children trying to learn in system that don't 00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:22.439 see them, elders navigating Purocracy that treats 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.719 them like numbers. Women fighting for basic dignity 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:32.479 in structures built without them in mind. Entrepreneurs 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.439 drowning in procedures that kill innovation. 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.439 Villagers whose voices never reach the policy 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:46.580 rooms. Students learning things that have no 00:03:46.580 --> 00:03:50.289 connection to their lives. every damn person 00:03:50.289 --> 00:03:55.789 trying to live, lead, build, rest, protect or 00:03:55.789 --> 00:04:01.050 evolve but finding themselves buried under systems 00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:10.469 that don't remember them. Okay, now I am not 00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:13.189 here to rebel against it all. Let me clear that 00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:17.470 too. Gentle rebellion is a part of being human. 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.540 But this is not even about that. I am not here 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.379 to tear everything down with anger or heartbreak. 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.699 No, no, nothing, nothing like that. I am here 00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:33.759 because I chose not to ignore it anymore. And 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.040 that's why I speak. That's why I go worldwide 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.680 to speak on all these things. That's why I advise 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.740 leadership. That's why I write. That's why I 00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:49.899 author and whatever I do. That's why I have dedicated 00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:56.019 everything I have to awakening leadership across 00:04:56.019 --> 00:05:01.079 every system that shapes this world. It's a matter 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.500 of planet Earth. It's a matter of humanity. It's 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:07.959 a matter of our existence, our civilization, 00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:14.100 our future. And when systems forget the people, 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.149 someone has to remember That's what this movement 00:05:18.149 --> 00:05:22.990 is for. Here's something most people don't understand 00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:27.069 about policies. They don't fail because they 00:05:27.069 --> 00:05:31.069 were poorly drafted, no. They fail because some, 00:05:31.209 --> 00:05:36.250 I mean, somewhere along the way they forget why 00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:40.509 they exist in the first place. The soul of a 00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:43.470 system isn't found, I mean, in its structure. 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.120 It's found in the clarity of its intention, in 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.579 the integrity of its action, and in the courage 00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:57.459 to lead beyond self -interest. Most policies 00:05:57.459 --> 00:06:00.439 today, and I want to think, I mean really about 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.959 this, okay? Most policies today are born from 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.800 pressure. They are created to satisfy alliances, 00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:14.600 protect power, calm public outrage. or manipulate 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:19.639 a certain narrative. They don't arise from presence. 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.860 They don't come from a still mind or awakened 00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:28.639 heart. They come from fear. They come from the 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.620 fear of irrelevance, fear of being exposed, fear 00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:36.379 of losing control. And when fear leads, love 00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:40.839 disappears. Purpose disappears. People disappear. 00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:48.319 You see it everywhere, don't you? Taxes framed 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.519 not around dignity but around control. Education 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:57.959 reshaped every decade but never truly reawakened. 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.800 Technology scaled without soul. Praised without 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.040 ethics. Budgets announced like performances. 00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:11.180 Like a credit -taking session is going on. Full 00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:15.839 of applause. empty of transformation. There is 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.879 no belief, I mean in the people, no belief, no 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.199 trust that when called with truth, they will 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.399 rise. No faith that a nation can come together 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.579 to solve its own limitations if led with integrity. 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.160 Instead of seeing people, I mean as partners 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.139 in shaping a future, systems treat them like 00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:46.829 risks. to be managed. Urgencies are ignored. 00:07:47.629 --> 00:07:51.589 Non -issues are inflated. Problems are reduced 00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:55.250 to headlines. And every time something breaks, 00:07:55.870 --> 00:08:01.009 a temporary fix is rolled out like a gift. A 00:08:01.009 --> 00:08:05.649 new relief. A new scheme. A new promise. All 00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:09.490 short -term. Everything. All just surface. None 00:08:09.490 --> 00:08:12.810 of it designed to transform anything at the root. 00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:18.610 Not a single thing. Rarely. I mean, if the real 00:08:18.610 --> 00:08:25.230 issue was never lack of intelligence, it's the 00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:29.810 absence of soul. These systems don't think like 00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:33.750 human beings anymore. They operate like machines. 00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:38.330 They respond to input. They propagate that input 00:08:38.330 --> 00:08:42.750 forward. They protect their codes. They run their 00:08:42.750 --> 00:08:45.169 cycles, but they don't remember who they serve. 00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:51.690 An awakening policy must carry something deeper. 00:08:52.289 --> 00:08:56.549 It must carry human values. It must carry love, 00:08:57.230 --> 00:09:02.830 not as an emotion, but as a responsibility. It 00:09:02.830 --> 00:09:05.049 must contain the courage to do what's right, 00:09:05.129 --> 00:09:08.980 not what's easy. It must believe in the people 00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:14.980 it's written for. If that soul is missing, then 00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:18.580 no matter how modern the design looks, the result 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:23.259 will remain the same. Hollow systems, tired people 00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:31.879 and a future written without clarity. Okay, now 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.460 here's where it gets interesting. It's really 00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:40.090 interesting. I mean, the problem didn't begin 00:09:40.090 --> 00:09:43.049 in the institutions. Yes, you heard it right. 00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:46.830 It didn't begin in law or in some policy room 00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:51.029 filled with bureaucrats. No, no, no, no. It began 00:09:51.029 --> 00:09:56.210 inside the individual. It began when leadership 00:09:56.210 --> 00:10:01.389 forgot to awaken itself. Every structure we see 00:10:01.389 --> 00:10:05.350 today is a reflection of its maker. That's how 00:10:05.350 --> 00:10:11.470 it works. all the time. Every institution carries 00:10:11.470 --> 00:10:15.830 the psychology of those who lead it, carries 00:10:15.830 --> 00:10:19.470 the character of those who lead it, carries the 00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:24.289 values of those who lead it. They carried the 00:10:24.289 --> 00:10:28.870 corruption too. They carried their failures too. 00:10:29.110 --> 00:10:34.879 They carried their hypocrisy too. Nothing it 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:40.919 cannot reflect. Every policy is shaped by the 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:48.340 state of consciousness behind it. It doesn't 00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:51.159 matter how many degrees sit in the room or how 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.860 advanced that, you know, the data looks. If the 00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:58.980 human being leading the process is unawakened, 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:04.019 the policy that emerges will be... fully unconscious. 00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:11.220 I have seen this happen. Leaders who are disconnected 00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:17.980 often know they are. Yes, deep down they know 00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:21.100 something isn't sitting right but who the hell 00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:23.700 is having the time to analyze this, to sit with 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:28.620 ourselves. They know this isn't the full truth. 00:11:29.070 --> 00:11:32.909 But instead of choosing clarity, they settle 00:11:32.909 --> 00:11:37.350 for what's expected. They operate from urgency. 00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:39.850 They say yes to strategies they don't believe 00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:42.730 in. They move things forward just enough to keep 00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:47.149 the machine running. Even when their own conscience 00:11:47.149 --> 00:11:54.970 is resisting. Over time, that resistance gets 00:11:54.970 --> 00:12:01.980 buried. Silent. Now, and slowly, what was once 00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:08.220 a voice becomes a huge noise. What was once truth 00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:14.720 becomes opinion. That matters to everyone, but 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.580 not the one who is giving that opinion. What 00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:23.960 an irony! What was once leadership becomes maintenance. 00:12:27.789 --> 00:12:32.429 People stop believing that they feed deeply, 00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:39.889 can ever become real again. They silence their 00:12:39.889 --> 00:12:42.029 inner truth because they think it won't work 00:12:42.029 --> 00:12:45.850 in this system. It's not the place to get those 00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:49.769 things work. They adjust their convictions because 00:12:49.769 --> 00:12:52.730 the room won't hold them anymore. They reduce 00:12:52.730 --> 00:12:55.110 their decisions to what's safe, what's manageable, 00:12:55.690 --> 00:13:00.110 what keeps them in place. But listen to me carefully, 00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:04.509 my dear friends. A system without inner leadership, 00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:08.950 inner clarity, awakened leadership will always 00:13:08.950 --> 00:13:13.509 collapse no matter how efficient it looks on 00:13:13.509 --> 00:13:19.470 paper, on media platforms, on their own official 00:13:19.470 --> 00:13:25.210 commentaries. We need to stop pretending that 00:13:25.210 --> 00:13:27.759 governance is just a technical function. It's 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:33.720 not. It never was. It's human leadership. It's 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.399 soul translated into structure. How beautiful 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:42.340 it is. It's the ability to feel deeply and act 00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:47.419 wisely. And until that ability is restored, every 00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:51.019 policy will carry a fracture, no matter how much 00:13:51.019 --> 00:14:00.840 it's polished. If a child were asked me or if 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.120 any child were to ask me, why do governments 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.919 forget the people? You can ask this question 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:15.399 to yourself too, okay? Why do governments forget 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.559 the people? I wouldn't say they forget. No, I 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:25.049 will never say that. I would say... they start 00:14:25.049 --> 00:14:33.970 believing they are the people. They convince 00:14:33.970 --> 00:14:38.450 themselves they know what's best for others without 00:14:38.450 --> 00:14:42.110 remembering they are part of the same humanity 00:14:42.110 --> 00:14:47.289 they claim to serve. That one delusion is where 00:14:47.289 --> 00:14:57.129 all distortions begin. It's a bit frustrating, 00:14:59.850 --> 00:15:07.549 but that's what we have to face and we have to 00:15:07.549 --> 00:15:15.470 manage. Governance today looks like an assembled 00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:21.950 machine. Each part comes from somewhere different, 00:15:22.769 --> 00:15:26.460 different policies. different departments, different 00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:31.000 coalitions. It looks like a structure. It looks 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.519 like something is working. But at the center, 00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:39.820 there is no engine strong enough to power it 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:44.720 all. No awakened core. No single rhythm that 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.299 ties it all into something living that can be 00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:54.990 trusted, that can bring transformation. No system 00:15:54.990 --> 00:15:59.490 can run on patches. No nation can evolve through 00:15:59.490 --> 00:16:05.330 maintenance. And yet, that's exactly how modern 00:16:05.330 --> 00:16:08.950 governance functions. As a cycle of repairs, 00:16:10.889 --> 00:16:15.149 leaders roll out new terms, new reforms, new 00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:20.549 labels. They show new graphs and glowing projections. 00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:24.720 But the truth behind those numbers is buried. 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:31.019 It's not the success. That's the problem. No, 00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:34.519 success is not the problem. Those numbers are 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:39.759 not the problem. It's what's excluded from the 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:46.600 picture to protect the illusion of success. When 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.720 something collapses, you know, numbers are modified. 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:58.620 When lives are lost, the count is softened. When 00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:02.460 decisions go wrong, they are never wrong on record, 00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:10.519 never. The system becomes its own puppet and 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.660 those within it becomes actors performing a stability 00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:18.380 while silencing everything that doesn't match 00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:24.099 the spirit. match the script, match the scenario 00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:29.220 they wanted to create. And you know what's even 00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:35.720 more sad? Even the media joins it. Not because 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:41.839 it wants to, but because it's too late not to. 00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:47.240 The pressure to survive, to stay funded, to be 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.650 allowed in the room. forces even the boldest 00:17:51.650 --> 00:17:56.130 institution to play careful. Truth is no longer 00:17:56.130 --> 00:18:00.230 filtered for clarity. It's filtered for convenience. 00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:09.329 Over time, this system teaches even the most 00:18:09.329 --> 00:18:13.950 brilliant minds how to stay in line. You can 00:18:13.950 --> 00:18:19.700 speak. You can publish. You can act. but only 00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:23.980 within invisible boundaries that don't threaten 00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:29.140 those who hold power. That's how courage dies. 00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:33.960 That's how hope dies. That's how truth becomes 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:39.579 selective, situational, conditional. And that's 00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:45.420 how leadership turns into performance. You don't 00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:50.420 need a theory to see this. I mean just look around. 00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:55.460 From the way policies are launched to the way 00:18:55.460 --> 00:19:00.380 press conferences are held, the optics are rehearsed, 00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:05.819 the applause is managed and the sincerity, if 00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:10.900 it exists, is buried under a hundred layer of 00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:15.059 design. Yes, I would say at least hundred layers, 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.759 not less than that. This is not what governance 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:29.640 was mean to become Okay, so Let me share the 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.779 most hopeful thing that I can Share with you 00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:38.319 all today and that's what matters the most Because 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.160 we can have problems we can have situations but 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.920 without the solutions to them without the ways 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:53.059 to solve them, not to blame them. We must need 00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:56.740 that part too. We are not just here to question 00:19:56.740 --> 00:20:01.259 someone and then walk away. No, that's not the 00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:05.900 way any human will, any human that want to bring 00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:12.039 something good to the world will ever do. So, 00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:17.779 I would say here's what I believe is possible. 00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:25.160 There's a different way, okay? A way where governance 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:31.579 remembers its soul. I once heard a story from 00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:36.039 a global respected leader. He was known for saying, 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.059 I don't like people who come to me only with 00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:45.490 problems. I like the ones who say, It will get 00:20:45.490 --> 00:20:53.470 done. At first, that made sense. We do not need 00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:58.009 people who can get things done. Or we do. So 00:20:58.009 --> 00:21:04.490 at first, it was looking so nice. We do need 00:21:04.490 --> 00:21:08.869 people who can get things done. But here's the 00:21:08.869 --> 00:21:12.789 question no one asked. What are we getting done? 00:21:13.769 --> 00:21:22.269 And why was it needed in the first place? Because 00:21:22.269 --> 00:21:26.250 if you create the problem and now you are fixing 00:21:26.250 --> 00:21:32.490 it, that's not leadership. And you're not accepting 00:21:32.490 --> 00:21:37.730 it. Nothing is perfect. No one can. Truthful 00:21:37.730 --> 00:21:42.269 is what you can. So that's a cycle of unconscious 00:21:42.269 --> 00:21:45.880 governance, I would say. where you are creating 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:53.359 problems. That's project management with a political 00:21:53.359 --> 00:22:01.019 level, I would say. In awakened governance, getting 00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:06.440 things done is just the baseline. It only becomes 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:10.779 leadership when what you are doing is born from 00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:14.940 tooth. The act must serve human values, not institutional 00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:24.500 speed at all. The first shift a leader must make 00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:28.960 is not external. Yes, you heard it right. It's 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.980 internal. It's a moment of remembering who they 00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:37.559 are. It's a return to emotion, to courage, to 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.380 care. to the simple recognition that leadership 00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:44.599 is not a badge or a strategy. It's a moment to 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:51.039 moment embodiment of being human. A real leader, 00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:55.599 an awakened leader doesn't suppress that humanity 00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:01.339 because of their position, because of the pressure. 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.019 They allow it to sharpen their vision. They allow 00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:10.299 it to question what others are silent about. 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.839 They allow it to guide them towards what is needed, 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.420 not just what is profitable or most popular, 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:27.119 I would say. I often imagine a government or 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.519 you can say a government room where something 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:38.140 rare happens. For a brief moment, no one looks 00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:45.059 at each other through the lens of a party, organization, 00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:49.140 agenda or ideology, where questions are asked 00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:53.279 without fear, without manipulation, without self 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.400 -interest, where concerns are received without 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.740 defense, where people walk in as leaders and 00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:04.220 sit down as human beings. That's not utopia at 00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:09.460 all. That's simple majority Some might feel like 00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:13.019 oh what a fantasy is creating That never happens 00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:15.000 in real world. He has no knowledge about the 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.960 practical world. He'd know nothing about politics. 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.319 He know nothing about governance Then I have 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.460 nothing to say to you And that majority I was 00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:31.259 talking about it's the bare minimum of what government 00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:38.759 should be And in that space policy becomes something 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.940 else. It stops sounding like a formal document. 00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:45.099 It stops reading like a scripted press release. 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.480 It becomes simple. It becomes clear. It speaks 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:54.839 to all of us. A child, an elder, an entrepreneur 00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:57.200 or a farmer, everyone should be able to read 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.940 a policy and feel they belong to it. Every human 00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:03.400 should feel like this system exists for them. 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.519 with them and through them, not above them every 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:12.119 time. When awakened governance becomes the norm, 00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:17.240 something extraordinary becomes possible. We 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.259 enter a world where courage returns to leadership, 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.460 where compassion returns to decision making, 00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.680 where love is not soft but the strongest force 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:35.410 in every policy. judge you and they don't dodge 00:25:35.410 --> 00:25:38.369 you they don't bully you and you're not showing 00:25:38.369 --> 00:25:43.750 a manly attitude when they don't even know about 00:25:43.750 --> 00:25:48.730 what that means that kind of world is not a fantasy 00:25:48.730 --> 00:25:53.309 my dear friends it's a decision and every decision 00:25:53.309 --> 00:26:04.720 starts from where within there is a fact That 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:11.119 has stayed with me The entire volume of blood 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:16.759 Just okay, just take it into consideration this 00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:20.599 fact is awesome the entire volume of blood in 00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.279 the human body Flows through the heart in about 00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:28.819 a minute Literally a minute. I was surprised 00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:33.700 how what us what a centre it is, what a control 00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:38.339 room centre we have inside us. In that same minute, 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:43.400 now coming to another part, and in that same 00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.200 minute approximately 6 ,000 lighting strikes 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:52.359 hit the surface of the earth. We may not see 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.799 them, but they are happening constantly everywhere. 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.880 And that's how the lives of forgotten people 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.200 work too. Just because you don't hear them doesn't 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.460 mean they are in thunder. Just because they don't 00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:14.200 show up in the policy documents or high -level 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.960 meetings doesn't mean they don't exist in every 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:19.519 corner of this world carrying silent storms within 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:27.380 them. The forgotten are not just the poor or 00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:31.920 the weak or the marginalized. They are everyone 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:36.400 who has ever felt that something better was possible 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.859 but watched the world convince them it wasn't. 00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:46.440 They are the ones who said this can be better 00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:51.460 and then slowly stopped saying it out loud. They 00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:53.660 are the ones who are willing to change themselves 00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:58.500 for a better world but felt alone in the effort. 00:28:02.089 --> 00:28:10.690 What systems often take away is not the opportunity, 00:28:10.910 --> 00:28:17.470 no, no, no. It's belief, not just in governance 00:28:17.470 --> 00:28:22.970 but in goodness, in what's possible, in what's 00:28:22.970 --> 00:28:26.170 worth fighting for, in the idea that something 00:28:26.170 --> 00:28:29.690 beautiful can still be built even after everything 00:28:29.690 --> 00:28:40.640 that has been broken brutally slowly we are not 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.279 asking for perfect systems nobody is asking that 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.160 and that is not possible we are asking for truthful 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:53.140 ones only that's the only thing if governance 00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:57.400 ever remembers the people again not in language 00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:07.920 not as a voter bank, but in prisons, the first 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:15.180 thing that would return is warmth. Yes, those 00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:17.319 who know the importance of that, they can understand 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.240 what it means. Not strategy, not programs, not 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:27.640 projections, just warmth, a softening in the 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:31.140 space between people, a willingness to come together. 00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:35.279 Even when nothing is certain a sense that no 00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:39.119 matter what challenges I Mean no matter what 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.740 are the challenges or what challenges we are 00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:44.640 about to face or what we have to face We don't 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.839 face it alone. That's the only thing now we know 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:55.079 Sometimes I wonder what would happen if more 00:29:55.079 --> 00:30:00.759 leaders could witness one simple thing Maybe 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.700 I'm not saying about I'm not a conference not 00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:08.799 a crisis nothing like that But the look in someone 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.660 eyes right after they have lost something they 00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:17.019 can never replace and Right before they lose 00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:23.579 something else again That moment where breath 00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:27.940 stops where the body becomes quiet, where nothing 00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:31.019 matters except what was just taken, that gap, 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.839 that silence. That's the feeling so many people 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:40.319 live with daily. If a leader could feel that 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.119 once, not observe it, not analyse it critically, 00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:50.059 technically, politically, but feel it like a 00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:54.460 human, they would understand something. no policy 00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:58.680 could ever teach. That all of this, the budgets, 00:30:58.900 --> 00:31:01.460 the institutions, the governance, the technology, 00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:06.599 it's not about control. It's always about care, 00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:15.119 trust, hope. And without that, nothing will build. 00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:20.500 Nothing will build the way you want it. Nothing 00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:28.839 we can build. will last so here's what I want 00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:35.119 to feel right now not that you have just finished 00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.420 listening to another podcast episode because 00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:41.839 I never take it like a podcast episode or something 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.700 like that it's just a way of speaking my heart 00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:50.430 out to all the hearts those who have still eyes 00:31:50.430 --> 00:31:55.630 and ears left in them and now that you have finished 00:31:55.630 --> 00:31:59.849 listening it not that you have heard some perspective 00:31:59.849 --> 00:32:03.029 worth discussing later and I'm not even considering 00:32:03.029 --> 00:32:10.630 that because most of them will really find it 00:32:10.630 --> 00:32:16.210 that it's the time to go and realize, I mean 00:32:16.210 --> 00:32:20.019 go deeper go inside and realize the importance 00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:23.599 of this or wait for things come to their doors 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.680 as hard as they can and then they cry loud and 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:33.519 say okay now nothing can be done i want you to 00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:37.640 feel what's already inside you whether it's dying 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.799 whether it's buried whether it's screaming to 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.500 be seen that small undeniable knowing inside 00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:49.710 you that says we are not here to perform life. 00:32:50.549 --> 00:32:53.670 We are here to live it. We are here to build 00:32:53.670 --> 00:32:57.750 it. We are here to remember what kind of world 00:32:57.750 --> 00:33:05.230 we always knew was possible. If you have ever 00:33:05.230 --> 00:33:11.509 felt that even once, then don't dismiss it. Don't 00:33:11.509 --> 00:33:14.829 delay it. Don't doubt it just because the world 00:33:14.829 --> 00:33:19.309 hasn't given you permission. Whenever it comes, 00:33:19.690 --> 00:33:23.029 that knowing, that moment, that clarity, don't 00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:26.849 let it die. Nothing in the name of safety, not 00:33:26.849 --> 00:33:33.750 in the name of timing, not for anyone. Because 00:33:33.750 --> 00:33:40.549 if you do, then all of this, every breath, every 00:33:40.549 --> 00:33:44.160 word Every fight, every love, every attempt to 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.940 be good will mean nothing. And if there is one 00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:53.299 thing I have learned, it's this. No matter how 00:33:53.299 --> 00:33:57.140 hard life gets, no matter how hard it gets, we 00:33:57.140 --> 00:34:03.200 still always have a choice. And the moment you 00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.480 wait for someone else to approve it, you have 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.960 already lost the one thing that could have saved 00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.730 you. That is what I know. That is what I have 00:34:15.730 --> 00:34:18.989 learned. That is what I am sharing with you today 00:34:18.989 --> 00:34:21.670 on SunDeep Talks: A Leadership Awakening Podcast.
