First 25 years learn as much as you can – the student life. Next 25 years enjoy your life as a house holder. Settle down, get married, have children and all that. Third quarter of your life, from 50-75 years is Vanaprastha, be a social worker. It means there is no more ’my, my, my’! Now you are for everybody in the society. You share yourself with everybody and you are godfather or godmother to everybody. Broaden you scope from ‘only my child’, to ‘our children’. The last quarter – from the age of 75 to 100 years, you are supposed to live as a recluse. You are in a state of “I am nothing, I want nothing”. These are four stages of ashrams in life. Some take a jump from first to fourth; they don’t have to go through the middle. - Sri Sri Ravishankarji
