«Old age is the fourth stage. By the time one reaches this stage of his journey, he must have discovered that the joys available in this world are trivial and fleeting. He must be equipped with the higher knowledge of spiritual joy, available through delving into the inner spring of Bliss.

And he must be eager to share with others the knowledge he has accumulated and the benefit of his experiences.»
