“I would start working at dawn, and I would still be at it until well beyond midnight. I had no
rest in between. I was only fourteen years old at the time. I came to nurture a great longing: I
would learn to read and I would read a religious manuscript. I was unlucky, in those days
women were not educated. Later, I began to resent my own thoughts. What is wrong with me?
Women do not read, how will I do it? Then I had a dream: I was reading the manuscript of
Chaitanya Bhagabat (the life of a saint)... Later in the day, as I sat cooking in the kitchen, I
heard my husband say to my eldest son: “Bepin, I have left my Chaitanya Bhagabat here.
When I ask for it, bring it in.” He left the book there and went away. When the book had been
taken inside, I secretly took out a page and hid it carefully. It was a job hiding it, for nobody
must find it in my hands. My eldest son was practising his alphabets at that time. I hid one of
them as well. At times, I went over that, trying to match letters from that page with the letters
that I remembered. I also tried to match the words with those that I would hear in the course of
my days. With tremendous care and effort, and over a long
period of time, I learnt how to read...”?
