of resisting?
In your bathroom you don't resist. In your drawing-room you don't resist. Even small things make a difference. When you go to a psychoanalyst in his office, you resist more because it is his territory, it is his kingdom, and you have to be alert because otherwise he will simply gobble you up, he will swallow you. That's why psychoanalysts don't like to go to the patient's house -- because there they will not be so powerful. It will be the patient's home and they will have to fit in. When the patient comes to the psychoanalyst he has to fit, but a subtle conflict continues.
So when the leader is not there, he has become a guru. That is the difference between a leader and a guru. It is a very subtle difference. If the leader is there, he is a leader. If the leader is not there, he is a guru. Then there is nobody to whom you are surrendering. He is simply symbolic. In fact you are surrendering to yourself. Via the guru you are coming to your home.
So the problem is there because you think that if you are not there, then how will you be able to lead? You need not be worried about it. Only then will you be able to lead -- and the leadership will have such a beautiful quality. It will have no violence in it. Otherwise there is violence -- when you look at somebody as being a participant and you are a leader, there is violence. Then you are to interpret, you are to judge, you have to show the way. He is the ignorant one and you are the know-all; then you have the upper hand. It is you who is going to decide whether he is moving rightly or wrongly, whether he is following the right path or not. It is you who is going to evaluate. The patient is just nobody and you have to put a label on him. You can call him a schizophrenic, you can call him a neurotic or a psychotic or whatsoever you like, and he is just to comply with it. He has no say in it.
If he tells a dream, you are the interpreter. He's just an object. The person is reduced to a thing. You are the manipulator, and you have to cut and change and polish and repolish, and make a man out of it; to make him adjust, to make him grow or whatsoever, but you become a manipulator.
