The age of twenty-five to forty-five

[Guest guest]

The whole mango tree-with all its branches, leaves and fruits-is contained

in a subtle form in the seed. It takes time for manifestation. Even so, the

Vasana of lust lurks in the mind when you are a boy, manifests at eighteen,

fills the whole body at twenty-five, works havoc from twenty-five to

forty-five and then gradually declines. Various forms of wrong-doing and

mischief are committed by human beings between twenty-five and forty-five.

This is the most critical period of life.
