A story about India's Prime minister Late Shri Morarji Desai (nararted today by Swami Ishatmanandaji Maharaj, Ramakrishna Mission Branch, Homer Glen, near Chicago:
When Mr. Desai was young, he was looking for a job. He was quite poor and had to borrow a suitable dress to appear in the interview for an important job. However, after a series of tests/interviews, he was not selected. There was only one job vacancy and he came in the 2nd place (just one mark short of the top candidate).
After the interview, the panel members called him and expressed their sadness to him as they were fairly impressed by him. They had expected that Mr. Desai would tell them that as he was from a poor family, he needed the job very badly.
However, Shri Desai mentioned : "I am not sorry at all. I did my best for this interview.
Perhaps, God wants me to take a better job and that is why I failed by a very narrow margin". As we all know, Mr. Desai later became India's Prime Minister.
