Wazir - the loser wins here!
If you have not yet watched the bollywood movie Wazir (2016), do watch it. Wazir in chess means queen, the most powerful pawn on the board. Do you think so? Isn't every pawn powerful as long as it is in the most appropriate position? A small ant can destroy an elephant, if it can get into its ears. Its all in the move, isn't it? Make yours for sure. Win or lose is secondary.
The game is meant to be played. Only a coward takes a cunning route to win. After all the Mahabharata would not have happened if not for Shakuni. Well the lord of the lords (Krishna) also wanted the play to go on, isn't it? Are you a Arjuna, Krishna, Duryodana or Shakuni? The character you choose is left to you. But do play for sure. After all isn't that what Krishna has preached too.
What do you think is the essence of any game? Is it the intention behind the game, the will to play it or the intensity with which you play? As Buddha or Krishna replies "does it matter?", after all you are one of the pawn in the game. You being a pawn can only make a move (or rather do your karma). The results are left to him. Let alone have good intentions for sure.
The actual trap is in playing it. If only we know how to play without getting attached to it. Isn't the master stroke all about knowing how to play perfectly? It doesn't mean you will not be tested in it? The diversion, the attention, the intensity makes it more playful. Wouldn't you agree?
The secret sauce is to play and lose to win. At times the loser wins.
Are you a loser or a winner? Or are you playing to lose and win?
