What Does My Heart Want?
Of all Rama's many struggles the decision of whether or not to convert to Christianity is perhaps the most momentous. It means cutting herself off from her early life. Separation from friends and colleagues. But life in the convent at Wantage is so comforting. And Jesus offered salvation for women as well as men. Mano would never know spiritual inequality. Rama's mind can't come up with an answer, so she consults her heart.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
What do I think? Maybe it’s the wrong question. What does my heart want? My heart. What did Mother tell me to do when I had a decision to make? The words came back.
“Rama, sit properly, clear your mind, and meditate.”
Rama placed a pillow on the floor and sat on it with her legs crossed. She breathed deeply. Slowly her mind emptied. She visualized the light of her heart. An hour later, Rama’s breathing returned to normal. Right or wrong, she knew what she would do. Rama stood, returned the pillow to its place on the bed, and sat at the dressing table by the window. If she wrote the message now she could send it tonight.
