Young Student one who is yet being cared for by parents.
Householder one who is in the thick of earning, raising a family, or actively engaged in society.
Retired one who is out of the grind and living on savings.
Sannyasi one who is free in mind and light at heart.

These four phases are not separated in time or by age. These may occur in any order in a mans life, sometimes concurrent, sometimes distinct. One may have the Sannyasa experience earlier and get thrown into the Householder struggle later. It happens. The key point to understand is that these are states of the mind, heart, intellect and emotion, and ones relationships in society.

Using simple yet elegant words, the Rishi narrates the story of creation from the Big Bang onward. The complete paraphernalia for its functioning is described, also the biology of mans birth. An incisive statement is made that points to the undeniable fact Opposite Values are Complementary in Nature.

Its mahavakya is prajñana? brahma, i.e. Consciousness the Divine the Supreme.
