On 14 January, Baba sent this message for the Andhra Pradesh Sports Council’s third annual track and field competition:
When an excellent performance by one’s opponents is appreciated equally by one’s own side, sports not only makes for physical fitness and mental alertness, but becomes a spiritual and enriching experience.
When this fitness, alertness and enrichment is carried into one’s daily work and associations, one can play the game of life in the manner of a true sportsman.
