This episode covers the next part of chapter 17 from:
“The first two years of my course at Scottish Church...”
to
“...mixed with ejaculations betraying their astonishment.”

Summary:
In this short and seemingly simple section of the chapter lies some gold dust, but you have to explore underlying meanings behind the narrative as experienced by Paramahansa Yogananda (and orchestrated by Swami Sri Yukteswar!). We weigh in by sharing our personal experiences and reflections on the importance of faith, perseverance, and balancing spiritual pursuits with academic responsibilities. We also felt it right to include some readings on concepts of success, hard work, and reincarnation, as well as the gleaning on some messages from the book Mejda.
