"No matter how big a chief executive you are, you are never in full control. Not even dictators are in full control."

According to Indian business guru Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, who seems to have something of a fan club among the world's top CEOs, this lack of control creates fear, and fear creates wrong decisions and wrong decisions create disasters. "If you cannot manage your own mind, how can you manage the world?...If you master your inner energy, you are 100 per cent in control of your life."

"…Karma is the software of God, but you can change it," he says.
