The Gita Blueprint for Leading and Winning in Business
Arjuna, trembling with tears in his eyes and immersed in
indescribable feelings, prostrated before the Lord, bowing his head, and
started praying.
When the entrepreneur focuses on the outcome of scaling, it is quite natural for him to feel overwhelmed. Once that visualization is complete, it is time to put the details on paper. What is possible to do and what should be done. Now it is time to surrender to mentors and experts by clearly explaining his views on scaling.
Overwhelmed by the cosmic vision, Arjuna is filled with wonder. His hair stands on end, his mind stunned by the magnitude of what he has seen. His immediate response is not speech or action—but humility. He bows, folds his hands, and then begins to speak.
This verse captures a powerful transition: from seeing greatness to submitting oneself to guidance.
When an entrepreneur visualizes the outcomes of scaling, a similar emotional wave arises. The sheer size of the opportunity—markets, money, power, and responsibility—can be exhilarating and intimidating at the same time.
This overwhelm is natural. It signals that the mind has reached the edge of its current capacity.
At this point, imagination must give way to articulation. The grand vision now needs to be put on paper:
This is the moment where excitement alone is no longer enough.
Great leaders know when to surrender—not to weakness, but to wisdom.
Like Arjuna bowing before Krishna, the entrepreneur must consciously submit the vision to mentors and experts. This surrender means:
Surrender here does not reduce leadership—it refines it. Those who skip this step often move fast in the wrong direction; those who embrace it convert awe into action.
