Know the rules of game before you play



Know the rules of game before you play, Otherwise you cannot play the game. It is important to know the rules of any game before we play that game, else we cannot play or win the game. Sometimes we will be losing time to learn the rules and win the game. Winning or losing is the result which depends on how best we understood the game and play efficiently. Life is also a game, and we need to undestand the rules of life to play this life game efficiently. The one who dont understand the rules of game quickly had to spend lot of time in trial and error to understand the rules. Life teaches everyone through experience, the rules of life game. If we are not smart enough to learn easily, it will be taught through various circumstances to make us realise those rules. Quality of our life depends on how we play the life game. At a very higher level there is only one aspect in a life to have a smooth life. But at a lower level we have the spiritual life and worldly life. The worldly life consists of all desires,relationships,earnings,expenditure etc. The spiritual life will be dealing with removing all the vices, gaining all the good and proceeding towards knowing thyself. Baba had already taught us how to have a balance between those two. As earlier said, only at the lower level, there seems to be spiritual life and worldly life as separate entities. But for the one who understood, there are no two but worldly life is a part of spiritual life leading towards knowing thyself.


Baba had taught us all his life about how to balance these entities till we realise that they are not two but only one. In a single  sentence he had said "Allah malik hai or sab ka malik ek". For those who understood this, it is enough to understand everything which is the summary of all vedas,upanishads,bible,quran,geeta etc. For those  who couldnt understand the single sentence, he had given two words "sharaddha" and "Saburi". Even if we understand these two words properly, it is enough for us to lead our life in a smooth way and reach our goal. Then for those who cannot understand these two words also, he had given 11 assurances as the 11 commandments. We can lead a smooth life, even if we understood these assurances. Then for those who couldnt even understand these commandments, he had given his satcharitra, which is an ocean of rules to practice in day to day life. Whenever we are facing any difficulty we can refer to this for a solution.


Anyone can question, what if we dont know all these. Are there not people who are leading their lives without knowing all these. Definetly, everyone will be leading their life. We have taken this birth to play the game of life. No one can escape this game. The game begins the moment we have fallen on to this earth, started taking the first breath, and the game stops only when we have stopped taking our last breath. In between, whether one is knowingly playing or unknowingly playing, but he is playing the game of life. If we know the rules and play the game, it becomes easier in reaching the goal of life.It is like a small journey which we need to travel to some place. If we know the destination, what are the various means of transportation to reach there etc. It becomes easy for us to reach the destination in an easy way else we will lose time in distracting ourselves and may land at a different place. We need to come back again onto the right path to reach our destination.


If people are not ready to learn the rules of life game and implement it in their life, they are bound to lost in the track of time and until unless someone who can guide them back they cant win their game.It is like the coach who coaches and guides the players. Similarly baba coaches and guides us all the rules of our life. If we are not willing to listen to the coach, learn the rules of game and implement it, we are only the losers.
