STRENGTH OF BRAHMACHARYA ( concluded ) No great things can b achieved without conservation of physical , mental & spiritual energy . The right time t achieve that is youth . Th first 25 t 30 years of life is meant for learning . In ancient education system students were known as Brahmacharins . A student without Brahmacharya is like a fruit without juice , a flower without smell , a temple without deity & a body without life . Brahmacharya & student life always go together . Running after money , sensual pleasures & spending considerable time for comforts & entertainment is a sure sign of fall from the ideal . Such students because of their scattered , restless & fickle minds will not b able t develop one-pointed concentration . And without concentration of mind great achievements r not possible . To me the very essence of education is concentration of mind , not the collecting of facts . - Swami Vivekananda ( Excerpts from the book Youth ! Arise Awake & know your Strength published by Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence , RAMAKRISHNA MATH , Hyderabad ) Good Morning friends & may U always b blessed .. JAI JAGANNATH
