Tennis and Life Lessons!

Once Gurudev fell ill in Sidhbari and was flown to a Hospital in Mumbai for treatment. A devotee was fortunate enough to get exclusive time with him through an instrument called TENNIS.

For three consecutive days, she watched matches with him. She was totally disinterested in the game, but in the next twenty-seven hours, Gurudev taught her all the terms, rules, and scores, and successfully managed to cultivate a lifelong passion for the sport.

What stayed with her in and through her life is priceless.
His teaching was: “Give your 100% to everything you are doing, without allowing your mind to wander even for a single moment.” Even though the work may not always be interesting, it has to be done perfectly all the time. Only through perfection, dedication, motivation, and steadfastness will we be able to connect to the Higher.
