Monica Bose-Growing up in the Grace of Bhagavan - 11

[Guest guest]

After I had passed the Intermediate Science examination, it was my turn to write a note to Bhagavan. In it I asked whether I should go on to study medicine. It was my father's wish for me but I felt I did not have an aptitude for this profession; on the other hand I did not want to give up what had been my ideal because of a crisis of confidence. Bhagavan read the note, smiled and said in Tamil to the attendant who translated for me. "Whatever she chooses will be the right decision." I made up my mind not to read medicine and I know now that that was the right choice. The Sage did not tell me what to do. I was to grow up, follow my own inclination and rely on my judgement, something as necessary to a successful career as it is to a fulfilling sadhana.
