In this Guruhari Ashirwad, Param Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj speaks to young people about holding firm to niyam (spiritual disciplines). Youth brings abundant energy, and with it, self-control often slips. Swamishri's advice is to tie a firm knot in the mind: "I will not do anything outside the niyams." We happily follow the rules of a game, he notes, yet follow the rules of satsang reluctantly, and that is why we don't progress. He urges youths to stay vigilant in nishkam dharma (the vow of celibacy and purity), because Maharaj is greatly pleased with devotees who keep it. At home, keep harmony, never raise your voice before your parents, and learn to let go, as Pramukh Swami Maharaj did thousands of times. Finally, Swamishri answers what kind of youths he likes: those who listen to katha and read satsang scriptures every day, and who do what Swamibapa says, not what friends or their own minds dictate.
