Significant precepts for Student Life

*Do not promote desire fulfillment if you wish to strengthen your intellect. *The more you conserve your energy from being dissipated in sense enjoy-ments, the more fortified your intelligence will be.

*Too much talk, excessive sleep, unnecessary roaming around, decking up this physical body with costly dresses and ornaments, savoring tasty and oily food, vanity of the so called wealth, troubles and tribulations on account of poverty, engage ing oneself in social political parties all these pursuits ate detrimental to studies and result in mere squandering of student’ s time energy.

*Too much talk, excessive sleep, unnecessary roaming around, decking up this physical body with costly dresses and ornaments, savouring tasty and oily food, vanity of the so called wealth, troubles and tribulations on account of poverty, engaging oneself in social or political parties, all these pursuits are detrimental to studies and result in mere squandering of student’s time and energy.

The student must physically exert himself such as performing asanas or exercises, running races or rendering any other service involving physical effort etc.

*Depending upon his means, the student should provide service or help to the weak and the needy as when the occasion comes. One’s own needs should be kept at the minimum level.

*from the very beginning, the student should strive to practice patience, humility, mellifluence, succinctness, contentment and endurance etc.

*The students who are inherently in dustrious, self-restricting, generous, dutiful, kind, humble sober, thoughtful and farsighted are truly the trustworthy resources of the society as well as of the country. Only such students are capable af attaining some higher goals of life.

*Only that life which has elegant, auspicious, systematic and powerful beginning can be full of peace and contentment in the middle and in the end. The unfortunate ones that start squandering their vital energy even before they build the necessary reserves through self-self-restraint can achieve nothing substantial in their lives.

*Those who start hankering after who start hankering after worldly fame and recognition even before cultivating moralistic values, power of prudence, perspicacity, astute vision, worldly knowledge and knowledge of True self remain impoverished. They fail to attain anything worthwhile.

*it is imperative for a student as also for a sadhaka to exercise self-restraint and control over his senses.

*in the early early years of youth as the vigour grows rapidly, there also grows the senses urge towards indulgence in their respective objects; one has strong desire for approval and appreciation also for sense enjoyment. AT this stage, he who stalls the downward slide (towards sense gratification) of his vital energy and gain fully uses it for developing the six virtues of perseverance, courage etc. that is who diverts the flow energy from sense-objects to emotional and intellectual development is a truly valiant person and only in such a one grows the power of real knowledge.

*your sharp-wittedness can be termed ideal and commendable only when you first establish your eternal relationship with the Supreme and then proceed to-wards mundane relationships. Only then will you succeed in getting delivered from the bondage of this world.
