The student devotes her/his time and energies to studying. In the olden days, young children (boys and girls) used to live with their Guru or teacher. The guru and his wife would look after them, feed them, and teach them - treat them the same as their own children. The students had to memorize all the knowledge taught by the Guru and recite it when asked. There were no books, no fancy libraries, TV, computers or internet. This period in life was devoted to learning scriptures, literature, arts, math, and sciences.
