I would even recall the moment when Ambalal was getting
married. ‘Aha Ambalal, when you were getting married and
your turban tilted to one side, you had thoughts about becoming
a widower.’ This is what I used to say. I can see it all: The tilted
turban; the wedding alter, I can see it all. The moment the
thoughts arise, I can see it all clearly. I talk to him and he
becomes happy. If I talk to him in this way, he becomes happy.
[6] Adjustment With Hiraba, My Wife
I Kept Vigil in order to avoid Conflicts
In the marriage ceremony, the priest recites: ‘Be vigilant
to circumstance’. The priest is correct in saying that it is important
for one to be vigilant in every circumstance; only then can one
get married. And it is negligent to become agitated when she
(the wife) does. Whenever she gets excited you should remain
calm. Should you not be cautious? I was always cautious. I
would not let any split appear in our marriage. I would take out
the welding gear as soon as a split, dispute or difference of
opinion arose and weld it.
I had repaired everything by the time I was thirty years
old. After that there were no problems at home, no differences
whatsoever. Initially we did have our problems because of
misunderstandings. This was because I would exercise my
authority and dominance as a husband.
