Here are the duties of a young Indian man through the ideal life cycle: 1. <span>the young man becomes a student and studies the sacred texts 2. </span><span>he then becomes a householder, married, has children, and acquires material wealth 3. </span><span>when his grandchildren are born, he gives up home and family and becomes a forest dweller, meditating on the nature and meaning of existence 4. </span><span>he abandons his personal identity altogether and becomes a wandering ascetic awaiting death.
I guess that the first two parts are similar to any other person in the world - we are born, go to school and study, perhaps get married and start our own families, and then grow old.
