Why is youth the best time for the mind to be trained in contemplation of the Divine? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.

When dark clouds of vices veil the sky of our hearts, the lightning of Divine contemplation must be used to restore radiance. Our heart is the sky. Our feelings are clouds. Mind is the moon. Intellect is the Sun. Thick, dark clouds cover this sky, especially in adolescence. The mind and intellect are hidden. These clouds are "passing clouds". Be patient, your enthusiasm and virtues will grow and shine forth. Then, you will be able to visualise your true nature. Therefore, cultivate peace. Students get agitated in an instant. Passion is responsible for agitations. It is typical at your age. But do not accept it as natural. Youth is the time to develop your divine capacities and to control your senses. Is it possible to control your senses if you wait till old age? Some say, "Why bother with meditation now? I shall focus on my job and family. After retirement, I'll sit on my bed and repeat ‘Rama, Rama’ at leisure." There is really nothing called retirement! After retirement, they take up another job to get ‘re-tired’! They do not relinquish their desire for money till the last breath. When will they ever find time for spirituality?
