Sri Ramana Maharshi
8.10.1945 Afternoon
Janaki, daughter of the Deputy Superintendent of Police of this place, asked Bhagavan, "I want to do naama smarana (remembering the Holy Name) always. But I am also keen on getting higher education (she is in the first year of college). What should I do?
Bhagavan: There is nothing contradictory between the two desires.
Janaki: If I am always doing naama smarana, how can I carry on studies for which the mind is required?
Bhagavan did not answer. But Frydman and I told the girl, "It was said both could be done at the same time." Frydman added, "Give the mind to studies and the heart to God."
