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.

*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.
