We are all social beings. We live in society and generally prefer to do so. Like us, all members of society desire to have the facilities of life and peace of mind.
The noble people live in society only with the inspiring idea that all people in society should have their due share of happiness and benefits. It is through them that the spirit of community welfare evolves in the society. In the spiritual sphere,
predominant importance must be given to individual development.
Yet, it is society that supplies most of the means for individual
development. It is because of this that the stage of the householder
(25 to 50 years) is said to be the very backbone of all other stages
(Ashramas), and is praised in Indian culture. Many great persons
like Rishabhadeva, Rama, Krishna, and others lived in
this stage and followed the true religion (Dharma), and
later progressed to accept austerity, renunciation and self-
control.
