I have been a cricket fan in the past and honestly these days watch cricket only if it's interesting in the end overs.And even though I do not follow cricket news deligently I am bombarded with Sachin's retirement story all around me.I see people paying tribute to Sachin on the radio , singing hymes in his name. Adversitements caching on the retirement story invoking emotional sentiments. Banner's proclaiming Sachin as 'God of Cricket'. What has caught my attention is this label of 'God of Cricket' being bestowed on Sachin.
When I ponder deeper I realise it's the Godlike qualities which Sachin's character displays is what has excited people all over world. The qualitites of being humble , being a man of integrity , being committed and dedicated to task at hand. And the most important quality of all which makes him Godlike is his ability to consistently display these qualities.And these qualities invoke enthusiasm in his fans to paint themselves from head to toe in Indian tri colour , wear the banner '10' T-shirt. Stand and watch the match so that Sachin does not get out.
The source of the word enthusiam is the Greek enthousiasmos, which ultimately comes from the adjective entheos, "having the god within," formed from en, "in, within," and theos, "god." Observing this hysteria around me and the enthusiasm which Sachin invokes in all of us , I am almost compelled to search and bring out the God within me. If all of us as human beings see this God within ourselves , I am sure we all be Sachin Tendulkars in our mission and purpose in life. Just imagine how beautiful this world will be when of us like Sachin are living our God within !! ... We all have the light within ourselves to shine all the Godlike qualities ; And when we can see and celebrate these qualities in Sachin I am certain we can help them shine within us as well. In order to pay my real tribute to this Little Master blaster , I take on to search and bring out the God within and take our humanity one step closer to God and that's the enthusiam Sachin has invoked in me !!
