"The growth up to adulthood is natural. You don't need to do anything special to become an adult. Nature has very intelligent laws. These govern how a child is born. So growth is not just physical."
"The growth we are talking about is entirely different. It has to start with self approval. There is a saying -- atma eva atmanama shatru -- one is one's own enemy and one is one's own friend. Using this, you can be a friend to your own growth," he said.
