"Therefore the Vedic system of civilization is seventy-five percent life of

celibacy. In the brahmacari system there is no connection with woman.

Student life. Student life, if one remains brahmacari, he becomes

determined. His brain becomes very receptive. Therefore, in the brahmacari

system, complete celibacy, no connection with woman. So up to twenty-five

years, if he does not discharge semen, he becomes very stout, strong, and

his health is built up for whole life, and he becomes so intelligent that

anything he will hear, he will remember immediately.
