Final answer:

The answer involves different philosophical and religious perspectives on when to learn and follow divine commandments, but the necessary reference to Alma 37:35 from the Book of Mormon is missing, preventing a direct answer to the student’s question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed pertains to the ideal time to learn and follow the commandments of God, as discussed in Alma 37:35. However, the references provided draw from various sources, including Confucian philosophy, Biblical scripture, and declarations on religious freedom, but do not specifically cite Alma 37:35 from the Book of Mormon, which would be the actual source needed to accurately answer the student's question.

In The Analects, Confucius reflects on his personal development and wisdom at different ages, highlighting the lifelong journey of learning and moral understanding, suggesting there may not be a singular 'best' time to learn to keep the commandments. The Divine Command theory is a philosophical approach where the morality of an action is determined by whether it aligns with God's commands, which can be interpreted as suggesting any time one hears the Divine Command is the right time to follow it. Psalms from the Bible expresses the perfection and righteousness of God's laws, indicating the importance of adhering to them. Finally, the notion of religious freedom emphasizes the individual's right to choose their beliefs and morality without coercion.

Yet, none of these directly answers the student's inquiry. The best approach in this case would be to consult the specific text of Alma 37:35 for a precise understanding of the advised timing according to that scripture.
