True knowledge: Bhagavan’s Football Analogy

Students! You are familiar with the game of football. There are six players on each side for this game, and the goal is at the end of each side. The six internal enemies—desire, anger, covetousness, attachment, pride, and jealousy are the players on one side, and on the other side—truth, righteousness, peace, love, non-violence, and sacrifice are the players in the game of life where the individual’s life is the ball.

Worldly knowledge and spiritual knowledge are the boundary limits. If the ball of life goes outside the boundary limit, it is considered as ‘out’ but not goal.

So, study both and learn to lead life. All fields of worldly knowledge are like rivers and rivulets. Ultimately all these reach the ocean of spiritual education. Ocean is the destination for all rivers. However many types of knowledge you learn, the ultimate destination is God’s grace. Having this firm faith, develop a loving nature.
