I feel that they are not worth studying, since they do not contain the element that would satisfy my hungering soul.

Beloved child! It is too early for you to renounce the world. Besides, you have got your
parents. You should serve them nicely. Earn your livelihood by honest means. Work hard. At
the same time, adopt the Nimitta Bhav: work as an instrument in His hands. Cultivate this.
Carry on your studies also. No doubt, knowledge of this phenomenal world would not confer
Moksha on you. Yet, it has got its own uses. Nothing is bad in itself; it is the use to which a
particular branch of knowledge is put that matters.
Try to carry on your personal Sadhana also side by side. Practice my Twenty Important
Spiritual Instructions to the best of your ability. Maintain the spiritual diary. Always keep the
goal in view. When the time comes, God Himself will facilitate your renunciation.
