In any sport, it is the fans who make a big difference in the game. They give the players a boost and inspire them to do their best. I have seen spiritual Masters give talks even when they are sick and physically low, as their audience is waiting for them. They start slow, and suddenly, they get a boost from the audience and their sickness disappears. People are needed no matter how much we enjoy being in solitude. They can bring out the best or the worst in us. The athletes might even miss the booing from the crowd. If these thoughts are not spread to everyone what use would they be. We need others to share our strengths and weaknesses. God made us to rub and scrub with each other. This way we can elevate each other’s lives. — Satish Daryanani
