Pride and
Ego
A
game of football is played by two teams with ten players in each team playing
on each side of the field. Each team strives to score a goal by shooting the
ball between the two goal posts. Life is a game in which you must lead your
life between the two goal posts of secular and spiritual education.
While playing football, one kicks the ball as
long as it is filled with air. Once the football is deflated, nobody will kick
it. The air in the football signifies the presence of ego. A person swayed by
ego will receive blows until they are devoid of ego. A deflated ball is taken
by the hands, while an inflated ball is kicked mercilessly.
Similarly
a humble person is well respected, whereas an egoistic person becomes the
target of all sorts of attacks. Secular things come and go, whereas spiritual
gains stay forever. Hence let spirituality constitute the basis of all your
activities.
