"After crossing the age of fifty, one should emphasise the spiritual aspect of man's life. ... The Vanaprastha now ceases to be a mere family-man. He becomes a 'society-man'. The boundaries of family expand. The whole society or nation should now become his family. Thus, gradually, he becomes a global man or a universal man."
