Question from Kanaka Durka from Auckland, Newzealand
“Baba I want to know whether You’re angry with me. I wrote theory exam for driving test restricted license and failed 4 times inspite of praying to You to pass. Why Baba I failed though I prepared well. When will I learn car driving and get a job. If I know car driving at least my husband will get a job for me here and it will be easy for me also. Please forgive me if I have done anything wrong knowingly or unknowingly. I wantYour blessings and guidance always Baba.”

Answer from our Sai Baba
Kanaka Durka beti, pehle dil ko thoda shaant hone do (First, let the heart calm down a little).
I want you to hear this clearly. I am not angry with you. Not even a little.
Failing an exam is not a sign of displeasure. It is a sign that something still needs settling, mostly inside the mind, not in your effort.
Dil thak gaya hai, isliye sawaal uth rahe hain (the heart is tired, that is why questions are arising)
Now the truth, spoken gently but firmly.
You did prepare. I believe that. But a driving theory test is not only about knowledge. It also tests calmness under pressure. Right now, your mind is carrying fear, responsibility, job hopes, and dependence all together. When pressure piles up, memory slips. This is human, not failure of faith.
Char baar fail hone ka matlab kamzori nahi hota (failing four times does not mean weakness)
You are unknowingly tying too many things to one result.
Driving license, job, relief, self worth
This chain is too heavy for one exam. When the exam becomes a judgment of your life, the mind freezes.
Ab practical baat suno (Now listen to the practical thing).
First. Take a small pause from the exam. Not to give up, but to let fear settle. A tense mind cannot absorb learning properly.
Second. Study the theory by imagining real situations, not by memorising answers. Ask yourself “what would I do on the road?” not “which option is correct?”
Third. Stop telling yourself “I will fail again.”
Yeh vaakya bandh karo (stop this sentence)
Words repeated inside become beliefs.
Fourth. Separate learning from outcome. Your job prospects and your value as a person do not depend on passing in one attempt.
Tumne koi galti nahi ki (you have done nothing wrong)
There is no punishment running. There is no forgiveness needed. There is only patience needed.
When the mind becomes steady, learning becomes easy. When learning becomes easy, results follow in their own time.
Man shaant hua ki buddhi kaam karti hai (when the mind becomes calm, the intellect works)
Go gently with yourself. Learn steadily. Do not rush your worth.
Ram ji bhala kare.
