ART OF TELLING : (Meeting God Through soccer quicker than through `Mantras`.)

Once a young brahmin, weak and sick, came to Swami Vivekananda for spiritual guidance. Swamiji asked him how he developed such a sick body. The young was trying to cover up by telling that he spent more time in reading scripture than out-door life . Swamiji smiled and asked -where will keep god in your sick body ? The young man fumbled and was humbled by such witty remarks.
Swamiji fianally advised - ` you will meet God quicker by playing foot-ball(soccer) than through Geeta or scripture`.
(extracted from memory of earlier reading ).
