Swami Ramatirtha's survey

Swami Ramatirtha's survey

When Swami Ramatirtha was a professor, he had drawn a list of successful and unsuccessful students. From their inner condition and character, he had come to the conclusion that students, who were engrossed in base pleasures, during the examination days or just before the examination, were often unsuccessful, even though they were said to be good students in the class. On the other hand, those students whose hearts were pure and one pointed during examination, were always successful.

To control the sexual desires is a herculean task. That is why Manu said: "One should not share his seat even with one's step-mother, sister, or daughter. The organs of senses are not easily controllable and lead to the fall of even educated people."
