Another query that came up at the MSOP programme was about being misled by someone and how to get out of it. Here are the suggestions I gave:
· Intellectual Approach
Examine the Pros and Cons of the circumstance and the possible advantages of associating with the person misleading us as against the detriment. If there is temporary benefit, it is better to continue and withdraw when the need is no longer present. This is pure Kutilya or Arthsastra! Very difficult to follow and sometimes seen as being worse than being misled!
· Emotional Detachment
Most of the time, we know that we are being misled. But we are emotionally attached to the person, so we accept the situation rather than walk away or address it suitably.
· Consulting a Mentor
A Mentor can help us analyze the pros and cons and also bring the detachment required for the intellectual approach.
