The body is the ball filled with air of Divinity; it is kicked in play by six players on one side (the six FOES : Lust, Anger, Attachment, Pride and Hate) and six on the other side (the six FRIENDS : Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love, Compassion and Fortitude). The goal-posts are on each side and if the ball is kicked so that it passes through them, the Dharmavidya (Moral Attachment) and Brahmavidya (Spiritual Attainment), those who kick it so can claim victory.
