all the way to complain to me. What else could the poor man do?
After she got married, one day I asked her whether she
wanted me to order some special soap to make his complexion
fair and she replied that it was not necessary and that he was
already fair enough. There was no need for her to be so overly
concerned about his complexion. I thought he was a fine boy.
How could they let go of such a nice boy?

Questioner : Is dating a sin? When girls and boys go out
together, is it a sin? Is there anything wrong in it?
Dadashri : Yes. If you feel like going out with boys, then
you should get married. You should decide on just one boy and
stick to him. Until you get married you should not involve yourself
with any boys.
Questioner : In America and England, when boys and
girls turn fourteen years of age they begin dating. If they like
someone they will continue dating each other and their relationship
will progress. Sometimes after they have been dating for a long
time, they will separate because something goes wrong or they
stop liking each other. Then they will start dating someone else
and if that does not workout, they will date someone else.
Everything just moves around in circles, and sometimes they maybe
dating more than two or three people at the same time
Dadashri : That is all wildness. That is a wild life.
Questioner : Then what should they do?
Dadashri : There should be sincerity and a commitment to
just one person. Your life should be like this. A boy should be
sincere to just one girl and vice versa. An insincere life is wrong.
Questioner : How can a person remain sincere if the other
person changes and becomes insincere?
