Normally, everyone associates spiritual wisdom and spiritual pursuit with old age, to be taken up after retiring from their professions. They never think that spirituality is for the young. Swamiji emphasizes that there cannot be a greater misinterpretation or misunderstanding than this. Spirituality has a greater relevance when one is young, active and interactive

In the scriptures, there have been spiritual seekers who have understood the imperishablity of the world right from an early age, like Nachiketa, who was a young boy.

The crisis in the case of Arjuna, Pareekshit and Sri Rama was always external, but the solution was internal or mento-intellectual. Swamiji exhorts everyone to take to spirituality as a precautionary and pre-emptive measure. Spirituality is a process of enriching and empowering our life to conduct it more effectively. At the same time, one can contribute to the societal pool, work for the welfare of soceity.
