Great.
It's true, that's why, Swami Vivekananda had deep concentration and strong memory. Also, he was able to love people from heart, bcoz he was spiritual.
The practice of Brahmacharya makes perfect sense, in that it brings the focus back to the individual, from society, enabling for the practitioner to attain self-discipline and self-awareness at the exact same time.
Brahmacharya is the logical solution to a person's problems.
This stuff is great!
This is great! Congratulations!
This is very true. May Mother bless us to observe strict Bramhacharya.
Sukanto
