Addressing the players on this occasion, he said that the Satguru has given us the message of awareness along with enthusiasm. The world is a form of illusion , but God is also present in it. Therefore, seeing God in every action of the world and incorporating His qualities in life is possible only by the grace of the Satguru. This is why the Nirankari Mission preaches the message of practical spirituality , where every action, be it behavior or sports, is done on the basis of devotion. The Satguru gives the message of living life that we have to learn in every moment. Learn from sports , learn while walking and learn even while falling; this is the way to live life.

He further said that this tournament is dedicated to Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji , which started in Ludhiana with the blessings of Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj and is now being organised every year with the blessings of Satguru Mata Ji and Nirankari Rajpita Ji. Describing the effect of Maya, he explained with an example that Maya is like the crocodile in the story which appears like a silk blanket from the outside but traps the human being. Finally, he said that the Satguru protects us from Maya by imparting Brahmagyan and shows us the path of faith, devotion, and joy in life. Sports are not about winning or losing , but about learning and experience. He extended his best wishes to all 24 teams, including those from Ganganagar , Firozpur , Jaipur, and Bhilwara, and thanked all the saints present at the venue. Undoubtedly, the objective of these games is to spread the beautiful feeling of love and harmony in the society , which was meaningfully realized by the participants in this tournament.
