Playing it my way (the game of life) - A Lesson from Swami _______________________________________________________ Got a copy of Sachins autobiography Playing it my way . While flipping through the book , first thing I did was a search for the names #Saibaba , #SathyaSai , #Puttaparthy #Prashantinilayam etc .... but could not find any of them and felt little disappointed. Then I just thought for a while; how Swami would have felt it ?. After-all, He blessed Sachin profusely everytime he came to Him and had a significant role in bringing Sachin out of bad patches and in getting rid of tumultuous periods of his career. (There is a separate chapter about his testing times) Sachin mentions about visiting temples to seek Gods blessings , mentions about his Guru Ramakant Acharekar , praises his mother but appears to have forgotten his past association with Sathya SAI completely. This is not the only such case. Thousands have come to Him and gone after receiving their share of Divine Love. But dear Sachin, you are extraordinary. you are Bharatratna. You are not one of them Then why this 500 page book doesnt have any mention about SAI? But who cares? Nor did SAI . Sais Love was and is SELFLESS AND UNCONDITIONAL. Without any expectation of returns . But, Swami at times felt aggrieved a bit when someone packed himself off all of a sudden after receiving so much from Swami ; a degree , attention , interviews , material bounties etc. Sometimes He went to the extent at the expense of His own health, name and fame. Swami did expect a token of gratitude from those who came to him to seek His blessings. Some lucky ones received more than their expectations . At least few words of gratitude on a small letter used to matter a lot ... especially from His students. Sachins book Playing it my way remains unread back in the drawer only to draw the concluding message from Swami Loving it My way ...
