Once Srila Prabhupada shed a tear when he saw people playing golf.
His tear of course was a tear of compassion, compassion for those who have succumbed to the attraction of distraction (in this case via golf). Once we succumb to the allure of distractions, it is all but impossible for us to focus on what is of real and critical importance to us — who we are and how we should conduct our lives to re-establish our eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
