Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Sairam everyOne, i would like to share with you some readings sourced from interviews conducted by the Global Dharma Center (http://www.globaldharma.org) with business leaders around the globe as part of their study on spiritual leadership. Here is what N. S. Raghavan, Founder Director, Infosys, Bangalore, India has to say. --- "I was addressing a group of Rotarians a couple of years ago and I was talking about sharing. You share because you derive happiness by sharing. You do not have to have a lot of possessions before you can share. A wonderful example in real life was narrated to me by my wife. This event occurred in Mumbai. A gentleman, who was passing by with some fresh food from a restaurant in his bag, was approached by a young urchin, all of ten years, with an extended hand. The gentleman looked at the emaciated boy and without too much thinking took out a food packet from his bag and gave it to the beggar boy. The boy, obviously delighted at the prospect of a fresh meal, after God-knows-how-long, was eagerly opening the packet as he walked along. The boy then came across a very old beggar lying on the roadside with extended hands. The old beggar looked very weak as if he had not eaten any food for days. The young urchin had one long look at the old man and quickly passed on the food packet, which he had just been a recipient of a moment before, and walked off with a smile on his face. This, according to me, is the true spirit of sharing." © Global Dharma Center 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
