Today, youth time is disappearing from human life. People enter the old age directly from childhood. In fact youth time is the center of life. This is the time when human beings can live in the present and can achieve mind and make his mind known. But what is the condition of today's youth?
There is a story related to this. A woman was walking in the garden, she saw an old man smiling at himself sitting on the bench. She asked that old man, you look so happy, what is the secret of your happiness and long life? The old man said, I wake up in the morning, I drink two bottles of whiskey and then, l smoke a packet of cigarettes. In the afternoon, I eat lot of fish, meat and the rest of the time listen to heavy metal and rap music. I do not even think about exercise. The woman was was shocked after hearing all this. She said it is amazing! I have never seen such an old person living a life like you, but how old are you? All twenty six years! The old man replied. Many young people are spending their lives like this. How should youth acquire virtues in their life? How do we see then in the right direction? How should we use youth power for social welfare? The answer to these questions is that we should prepare the youth for self effulgence and self confidence. For this, we have to reach their lining and understand them. It is found in many religious books. In this, we get to know the depth of knowledge and it's expansion. These things should be explained to the youth in such a language that they can understand. This work belongs to the older generation, but it should not remain as an intellectual activity only.
While reading the lesson of spirituality to the youth, we have to reconcile both heart and intellect as per the requirement. This effort should not only be a demonstration of your knowledge. We should become one of them and understand their heart and have a conversation with them. We have to listen to all their questions with love and patience. We have to talk compassionately with them. This kind of behaviour will bring changes in them. And the most important thing is to present an example in front of them, so that they can inspired.
