Cybertalk: The topic today is mentoring. Young people need someone to show them what the world is like. A mentor is like a private tutor and friend. Young people need to be taken to many different places so that they can broaden their lives. Gurudeva asks if we feel we are too busy to fill the role of mentoring youth and tells us we need to reverse this situation. Gurudeva explains what young men learn when they come to live at the aadheenam for a time. Real learning is what is learned through observation. Expose your young people to bring out the great potential of their soul. Gurudeva asks us to meditate on this subject.
