Conversations with Gurudev - II

A month ago, there was an intra-office tennis tournament at office which I had taken part in. I lost in the finals of the singles event. I was a little disappointed with my performance. In the evening that day I wrote to Gurudev telling him about my loss and also that I needed to work on my fitness level and stamina.

Master’s response the next day was like a breath of fresh air. He wrote - “Congratulations for letting a friend win the trophy. Congratulations once again, for going till the finals”. This kind of reply was nowhere close to what I was expecting. But it made me feel good. Master was trying to show me a different perspective, a viewpoint which in today’s extremely competitive world, I had completely forgotten. 

I learnt not to be too hard on myself.  "Enjoy the journey while it lasts !!".
