purity, chastity, dietary control and the "Do's and "Don't"s of conduct of the "right religion" which they will be enabled to decide with their discriminative intellect and faith as we shall see further.
(2) The Mind, Heart and Intellect:
All after the aspect of the soul, we have to think for the mental and intellectual aspects, which are to be channelized properly and to be used as a great force. For the proper growth and development of the Mind, Heart and the Head or intellect, the youths will be handled first of all with LOVE and sense of RESPECT and APPRECIATION.
Then they will be provided education in externally "natural" atmosphere as well as internally natural, free, frank and open-minded state. They will be taught to be free and frank and fearless in their thinking and expression when they will reach up to a certain stage of "internal silence" and "right discriminative vision" as referred to above.
This will enable their studies and bookish learning to develop and to make intellectual wonders. Their studies will have a great place for the BIOGRAPHIES of the great people, which will remind and inspire them to a great extent to make their own lives sublime.
They will be trained to make use of MUSIC (either "performing" or "listening") as a great force of internal enfoldment, ego-eradication, self-awakening and meditation, apart from its being a means of "Devotion" or "Social Revolution".
So far as various subjects and facilities of learning are concerned, the students will be allowed and inspired to make right selection of the subjects according to them interests and abilities.
There will be special programmes and camps where the youths will be tested and put amongst certain "problems", in spite of allowing them "to create new problems and make destructions". They will be expected to solve the unforeseen problems jointly and individually. The energy, originality, inner power and the insight created from this process will help the society and nation at large. The sound and silent mind, the generous and open heart and sharp discriminative intellect thus developed, will enable the youths to make right judgment and decision and to face and react to the happenings of life boldly.
