By starting Sadhana at a young age, formation of new Sanskars (impressions) can be prevented in our sub-conscious mind.
Our mind remains restless, as its Chitta (subconscious mind) bears innumerable Sanskars (impressions) of several births. As one advances in age, the centres of these impressions and other Sanskars increase.
For instance, if a Standard V student sits down to do chanting, his mind will merely race back to his parents, siblings, games, friends and school. But if a 70-year-old, who has never done chanting, sits down to do chanting, the past memories of last 70 years which has taken the form of impressions in the mind will obstruct his concentration. -H.H Tanuja Thakur
