Characteristics of a Student
A student should have the only aim of study or God Realization, because "determinate intellect is one-pointed" says Gita 2:41. "Vyavasaayaatmikaa buddhirekeha kurunandana bahusaadhaa hyanantaasca buddhayo'vyavasaayinaam" (Gita 2:41) "In this blessed path, the intellect is determinate and concentrated, whereas the intellect of the undecided, is scattered in many directions, and is endlessly diverse." (Gita 2:41) All his actions should lead him to the attainment of his aim. When he possesses such promptness and determinate intellect, then God, Saints (great souls), righteousness (Dharma), scriptures and ethics etc., all prove to be favorable to him and he attains his aim without doubt.

*Question:* What are the characteristics of a Student?
Swamiji: Answer: The five characteristics of a student are: 1) Carefulness like a Crow: A crow is very careful in every activity. A crow is so careful that no one can catch him. Similarly a student should always be careful in his studies and not waste a single moment. 2) Attention like a Heron: A heron moves slowly in water, but its attention is single-pointed on the fish alone. Similarly a student while performing all activities such as eating and drinking etc., should pay attention to his studies only. 3) Sleep Light like a Dog: A dog does not sleep completely carefree. His sleep is light. Similarly a student must sleep lightly, which is essential for good health, and must not be very carefree. 4) Take Food in Small Quantities: A student should neither overeat nor under eat. His diet should be regulated and reasonable so that he may neither feel lazy, nor think of the empty stomach. 5) Celibacy: A student should observe celibacy.

A brief introduction of Swamiji Shri Ramsukhdasji Maharaj - A liberated, enlightened, and devotee saint of this age, Revered Swami Ramsukhdasji Maharaj was born in a small village "Maadpura" in the Nagore district of Rajasthan in 1904 A.D. (Vikram Samvat 1960) in the Vedic calendar month of Falgun. In the young age of just 4 years, his mother made him an ascetic (Saadhu). Fulfilling the completely renunciate duties of an ascetic, he stayed on this earth for an age of approximately 102 years and throughout his life, he went to villages and cities and kept pouring the nectar of satsang. Perhaps no other saint has travelled across India to the extent to which he travelled during his lifetime. The prime objective of his life was to stay away from personal propaganda and spread the divine messages of Gita only for the welfare of the people. Therefore he always stayed away from tasks such as being photographed, getting his feet touched, making disciples, accepting gifts or donations, accumulating money or things etc, building ashrams (monasteries), making cults etc. His sole aim was to find out how mankind can be benefited (liberated) in the minimum possible time and through the easiest possible method. This glorious personage of the world disappeared on 03-07-2005 (Aashadh Krishna 12, vikram samvat 2062) on the banks of Ganga, Gitabhavan, Swargashram (Rishikesh). Completely rid of attachment, idol of renunciation, Revered Swamiji Maharaj had especially instructed that no one may write his biography. Therefore, this short introduction has been written only so that more and more people can become acquainted with this great saint and can benefit from his preachings.
