A WORD TO THE YOUTH

O college boys, do not waste your lather's money in seeking pleasures in cinemas, restaurants and hotels. Beware! Do not become victims of syphilis and gonorrhea. Your whole life will be spoiled.
Learn the way of self-control from Sadhus and Sannyasins. Be regular in your Japa and Kitran, in meditation and study of the scriptures. You are the future citizens of the world. Learn to soothe the itching of the nerves through sublime thinking and divine contemplation.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda

    I love the cinema. I know that Swami Sivananda is expressing universal Truths. But I think his words need to be updated to releate more to modern life.
