I think that there are various planes of mental awareness and that it is not possible to compare different planes. It is not possible for example to compare saintly politicians like Gandhi to usual politicians who are driven by ego. They may need their ego and the motivation it carries. Whereas saintly figures are motivated by Dharma and Karma, mainly.
You have seen I have made the comparison. We have come to a time in the dwapara where men like Gandhi, Navalny, Zelinski, Mandela, Washington and Lincoln have entered the world stage. And there will be instances where politicians consciously work against.the spiritual laws of dharma, as Trump.has with his honering the ego and those who also do so in their power hungry rulerships. Let us absorb as much above such duality as we can and recognize that such power trips are not among our highest interests as mother earth 🌎🌎 moves into the higher ages, and rulers today and in the recent past show up to usher in a higher age.
We can take comfort in the ego less council that Krishna gave to Arjuna as a way to rule beyond the power hungry ego manifested rulership of his brother and the need to fight the ego in the Bhagavad Gita. We can rise.above family interests and have a community interest. We can rise above selfish country interests and consider the world at large; the protection of democracy from evil tyrants and the welfare of mother earth rather than selfish territorial acquisition and making ours better than every one else's.
Below 👇 shows a statesmen, living today. Not an opportunist leading his country for his own self interest, as we see today here in the states.

Let us show that we do not live in a world politically divided, where righteousness is unable to influence the new age we are progressing into and the world leaders reflect the best in us and not the worst.
