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.
