Playing the Infinite Game

 Simon Sinek wrote a book The Infinite Games.

It was one of the best sellers of its time. But the book was about businesses that play the infinite game, emerging as the biggest winners in the long term.

But the Rishis have been teaching humans to play the infinite game since before time can track.

And that is the whole Alexander and the Yogi podcast, all about yes, being Alexander is tactical, but being the yogi is strategy. And a strategy to play the infinite game.

Because what's the point of winning in the short lifespan of ours if you lose the long infinite game that we are all having to play without a choice?

Well, most of us at least have no choice.For the most part.But the Rishis found a way out to beat and win in these infinite games.And by infinite games I mean an infinite lives. Infinite statistically not numerically.

पुनरपि जननम पुनरपि मरणम 

पुनरपि जननी जठरे शयनम 

इहसमसारे बहुदुस्तारे कृपया  पाहे पाहि मुरारे 

What Adi Shankara there is saying isAll the human soul knows for most people is to keep being born and keep dying, going back into the mother's womb, growing up, being born, going old, and then dying again, going back into another mother's womb, and keep being born and keep going back to death again.

And the only way out is through the mercy of Lord Krishna. That last part is a matter of metaphor and translation.Based on your route to the infinite almighty। The reference to Krishna is a pointer to the almighty.A pointer to live the life of a yogi.To achieve oneness with Almightiness. 

Language you see at the end of the day language is a very imperfect tool to express this discussion about the infinite because language is finite and by definition it's going to fall short to describe the infinite। But the Rishis did their best to get us as close as possible, and it is our job to willfully use our willpower to try and get closer to try and contemplate. They gave us many ways to get there. It's a matter of rechoosing to stop living like animals, stop living finite games, stop playing finite games, and start playing the infinite game.
