The Question of Marriage [3]
If she has the true call to the Yoga and not only an
impulse due to the influence of others, the necessary conditions will be
created. Even if the circumstances seem adverse, it will be only a test or
ordeal and she will come through in the end. On the other hand, if she is not
yet truly called or if her nature is not yet ripe, the marriage may take place
and she may have to go through the ordinary life
before she can return to the spiritual. There was never any suggestion from here
that the girl should come to Pondicherry; how is it that it has been raised over
there?
