In a football game, six players on either side go on kicking the ball till it’s sent to the goal. The goal of life consists of two posts: secular and spiritual. You must see that the ball does not go beyond the posts. It should be hit within two posts. You are born as human with the goal that you are not born again. You must live within frames of secular and spiritual pursuits. Then you will attain liberation. Six bad qualities - lust, anger, greed, desire, pride and jealousy - are on one side and the good qualities - truth, right conduct, peace, love, nonviolence, and sacrifice - are on the other side. The game is between these two teams. Another lesson we learn from this game is, football is kicked as long as it's inflated with air (ego). When it’s deflated, you take it in your hands! To lead a fruitful and meaningful life, render service to mankind, which will take you nearer to God.
