The players do not derive
as much joy as the onlookers; so,
develop the attitude of the onlooker, the witness.
The batsmen, bowlers and fieldsmen
do not get a fraction of the pleasure
that the 'fans' beyond the boundary derive.
They note each fault and
excellence in the stroke and defense;
they appreciate the finer points of the game.
So too, to get the maximum joy
out of this game of living,
one should cultivate the attitude of onlooker,
even when one has to get embroiled in the game.
When an actor weeps or laughs on the stage,
he watches his own weeping or laughing and
tries to make it more realistic and effective.
So too, be the witness of
your activities and thoughts;
keep afar and away, without attachment or disgust.
