'When I play with you, I feel I am never nervous.'
This is one of the stories in our Story-Gems project, a collection of our experiences with our Guru, Sri Chinmoy. Project homepage »
One sweet story is that I used to play tennis with Guru, just Guru and me over at Jamaica High School. I was a good tennis player when I was younger, but playing with Guru by myself, I was very nervous. I cannot tell you how nervous I was playing.
One day when I was playing with Guru, Guru all of a sudden said, “Casey, when I play with you, I feel I am never nervous.” When Guru said that, I laughed because I knew how nervous I was. And I wasn’t nervous anymore.
