Someone close to me was saying yesterday that he gets so proud when he sees Monty (Panesar) playing for England's cricket team.
He said that since Monty joinded the England team, England have been winning and that is thanks to the Gur Prasad (God-Gurus Blessing) that
Monty as a Sikh has brought to them.
I then asked, "Well how come England just lost to South Africa? What happened to the Gur Prasad?"
He replied, "But Monty took two wickets , he played well, the others let the team down."
Then the commentator said, "Monty didn't play very well."
Then with God's Grace I explained that Gur Prasad has nothing to do with winning a losing, with suffering or joy, nor with profit or loss.
Gur Prasad is to do with how your mind remained during those events.
If Monty remained unaffected that his team lost and he played badly because he was holding onto the God-Guru's feet, the holy Naam in his heart, then he had the Gur Prasad. Otherwise not. I didn't see him crying, unlike his captain - Vaughan he was visibly distrurbed and distraught as he announced he was quitting the captaincy "after 5 and half years of giving his mind and soul to England Captaincy." That looked to me like a definite sign of a mind and heart lacking in GurPRasad and drowning in maya.
GurPrasad is how you remain stable through the ups and downs in your life.
It isn't to do with profit or loss, winning or losing, pain or pleasure.
God Bless You Monty - shre the Gurprasad with the resto f the team!!
