Once, when I went to Bhumiadhar to
see Baba, he said, "My B.D.O. daughter has come."
I wasn't B.D.O. (block development officer) then, so I did not
understand. Baba then said, "Don't go to America. Stay
in this country and serve it. If you go there, you will become a
westerner."
This also seemed completely irrelevant. About a year after Baba said
this, I was posted to the Garampani block of Nainital as B.D.O. I also
got the opportunity to go to America, but remembering Baba's advice, I
did not accept the offer.
