How To Handle Tension in a Game? | Chess Grand Master Praggnanandhaa Asks Sadhguru

I'm not conscious if I get tensed Is there a way to come out of it? Like immediately 1.4 billion. People's expectations on your head will kill you. Don't worry about all those things. You just have to play this one move right? Isn't it? Attention is coming because I. Am I winning? Am I losing? Will I get the trophy? You will not get it. Will I get this? With all this, you will be less than yourself. How do you win all the games in the world? Only in your dreams you can do that. But if your thinking is very smart and you have to be smarter than him, you will miss the Dum move And that'll be the biggest mistake, isn't it? This is the only crime you can commit when you're playing a game. You during the game. So when there is some critical moment that I used to get very tense. So we were speaking all these responsibilities limitless. If I'm conscious, maybe I can avoid it. But if I'm not late, sometimes it's on and off. I'm ready to. I'm not conscious. If I get tense is there a way to come out of it? You to see what is tension? Let's understand. You can call it tension. You can call it stress. You can call it depression. You can call it manic depression. You can call it misery, or you can call it madness. Tension or stress means limited amount of madness. Actually, small variation in small sample you are having of madness, isn't it? Essentially your thoughts are bombarding you at a pace that you can't handle Suppose you think I'm representing India. too much tension? 1.4 billion people's expectations on your head will kill you. OK, your parents expectation will kill you. Don't worry about all those things. You just have to play this one more, right, isn't it? The tension is coming because am I winning? Am I losing? Will I get the trophy? will I not get it. Will I get this? What will happen to me when I go back with all this? You will be less than yourself. This is the only crime you can commit. When you're playing a game, you are less than yourself. If somebody is better than us, they will win. What to do All right. Somebody is better than us. They will win. What can we do about that? But we are less than ourselves. That is a crime. That crime, if you do not commit, rest is OK. I know. That is the whole training in the world. How? This Praggnanandhaa wants to win all the chess games in the world. Don't do that. Don't try to win all the games in the world. This one more. You must do it right. The charm. Hello. How do you win all the games in the world? Only in your dreams you can do that. Hello. In reality, you can only make one smart move, isn't it? They're not even allowing two at a time, are they the only one? So only one smart move You have to make. You don't have to make the next one and the next one well, you try to foresee. Very well what will he do? All right. But you still don't know. But if you're thinking he's very smart and you have to be smarter than him, you will miss the dumb move And that'll be the biggest mistake, isn't it? So far, this what you need is to be conscious. To be conscious means the more to see this is the nature of the mind. Why people's minds are just running away beyond them is it is like why somebody is running to the toilet every 5 minutes is they have eaten something bad yes or no? So if you eaten something bad, one way to stop it is take a tablet, do this, do that and stop that one way. It's an emergency. But the most significant thing to do is stop eating that bad food, which upsets you. So the same goes for your mind. The bad food that you can eat is you identify yourself with something that you're not. When I say that we have gone through the inner engineering, the body, the mind, everything we gathered, isn't it? you being a chess player they are gathered over a period of time? You're born chess player? No. So just to sit here as a life and look at it with the best possible way and what we figured we have here, what we don't, we don't isn't it. But our ability to figure something is greatly reduced the moment we have unnecessary level of thought process. So you handle only one move a time when you practice you you practice all the moves, whatever. But when you are playing only one move this move If you do it right, and wait to see what the other person does. That's all there is, isn't it? How many million ways they can do it into whatever extent you can. You're trying to figure it out before the game, but when you sit for the game, it's only one at a time, isn't it? But if he does a stupid moment, if you miss it, that means we will become double idiots. Isn't it? So you don't think about all these things, you just pay attention, that's all. Human attention is paramount importance what great thoughts and desires you have will not matter. So never try to be a champion. I'm saying just be a great chess player. Others will say You're a champion. That's great. But if you think I'm a champion champion, it's a dumb thing to do.
