After his second marriage Durga Charan returned to Calcutta with his father, leaving the young bride, Sharatkamini, in Deobhog. He abhorred the idea of taking service under anyone, so he again settled into the practice of medicine. Once he cured a critically ill patient in the house of his father’s employer and in gratitude was offered a silver casket filled with rupees as payment. But he courteously declined to accept it and asked for only twenty rupees (less than two dollars) as his legitimate remuneration. His father was infuriated when he heard of it and said, “You will never succeed in your profession, I tell you, if you go on this way.” But Durga Charan replied: “I cannot help it. What I believe to be wrong, I cannot do, come what may. God is Truth. Have you not always taught me to walk in the path of righteousness? In all conscience, how could I have demanded more? False conduct brings ruin.” (Source: They Lived with God)
