"Soccer World Cup 2010 - South Africa: For some it is a sports event, for Diego Maradona a little more..."
Prabhupada, New York, January 9, 1967: ..The freedom of football. The football is kicked from this party and thrown to the other party. The other party kicks and it comes. The football thinks… If the football thinks that “I am in freedom movement”, so what is that freedom? Kicked from this party to that party and that… So here the same thing is said, kama-krodhera dasa hana tara lathi khaya.
Just like the football players—the football is under the kicking method of two parties—similarly, we are under the kicking method of two things, lust and anger. We are lusty, and when our lust is not fulfilled, then we become kicked by anger. Two things. Just like the football is kicked by this party and that party, similarly, our position is we are being kicked sometimes by lust and sometimes by anger. So we are going on leading our life in this way.
Next time I shall be kicked up to China. Maybe. And from China, I will be kicked up to India. And from India, I shall be kicked up to Burma or kicked up to another place. This is going on. We do not know how we are being kicked up like a football from one place to another, one place to another.
kama-krodhera dasa hana tara lathi khaya
bhramite bhramite yadi sadhu-saiga paya
Now, in this way we are passing our life, but if by chance we get association of a saintly person…
tanra upadeca-mantre pisaci palaya
krsna-bhakti paya, tabe krsna-nikata yaya
If by chance we get association of a pure devotee, then by his mercy this illusion becomes over. Full Lecture
