True education consists in the cultivation of good thoughts and acquiring good qualities like truthfulness, devotion, discipline and dedication...

Man needs a healthy body in order
to have a healthy mind filled with
good thoughts. It must be recognised
that the purpose of sports and
music is to confer health and happiness on man.

There are three benefits to be derived
from sports and games: team spirit, mutual
understanding and joy. Even if men speak
different languages and differ in their habits
and cultures, in the field of sports they have
a common bond, a spirit of camaraderie.

True education consists in
the cultivation of good thoughts
and acquiring good qualities like
truthfulness, devotion, discipline, and dedication.

These are also the qualities that
should be acquired through sports and games. These
qualities serve to impart health and joy to the subtle body.
