Premanand Ji also lauded Kohli’s dedication and hard work, emphasising the positive impact his performances have had on millions of fans.
Offering words of wisdom, he advised Kohli, “Aur Abhyaas mein kami nahi honi chahiye” (there should be no compromise in efforts), stressing the importance of discipline in achieving greatness.
Premanand Ji beautifully explained that we both are doing the same thing in our respective fields.
“Now, the biggest thing is that we are making people happy through our practice, giving them happiness. And they (Kohli) give happiness to the whole of India through their game. If they win, fireworks are set off across India, and the whole country celebrates. Isn’t this their practice too?” Premanand Ji said.
“If they dedicate their victory to God, the whole of India is connected with them. If they achieve victory, every child in India rejoices. So their practice is to stay in their practice, even if it’s a game, but the whole of India derives joy from it. If we, for some reason, should focus on the strength of our practice, there should be no lack in our practice, and we should remember the name in between. So this is their practice.”
When asked about success and failure Premanand Ji said one has to face the sorrow of defeat despite having perfection.
“You will have to face the sorrow of defeat even if your practice is perfect. Destiny sometimes has its role even when practice is not lacking. And if practice is complete together with destiny, then victory is achieved. Sometimes, it is seen that a catch is made; sometimes it is dropped. But destiny also plays a role, and practice too, like among fifteen or twenty.
Now, they are very proficient in practice. But this time, destiny is that sorrow has to be endured, so due to the influence of their company, because the whole game will not be from one, your practice will also fail. Practice alone is not enough; destiny is also involved. How should we be in failure? We have to maintain patience while contemplating God at that time. It’s very difficult because if someone can smile calmly in failure, it’s a big thing. Now, even in failure, embrace it with a smile and move on. God gives that ability. Failure will not always remain. If the day doesn’t remain, how can the night remain? We remember God with patience. It’s very difficult because the respect received in success is not received in failure.”
Premanand Ji praised both Virat and Anushka, saying they are very brave people, as it is very difficult to turn towards devotion even after receiving worldly respect.
“The main thing is to chant the name as much as we can, whether sitting or standing, and we will move forward. Both worldly and spiritual progress can be achieved in Kaliyug. If we hold onto the chant, everything will be accomplished. Being dependent on God is the greatest strength. Chant the name, and live with love and joy,” Premanand Ji concluded.
