Harmony in Marriage 119 Dadashri : Death is inevitable. You are going to die even as you insist that she is yours. Really she is not yours, and if she goes early, then you have to sit alone. If she really was yours, you both would depart together, would you not? At times a rare woman becomes a Sati (one who voluntary dies on the husband’s funeral pyre) with her husband, but even then what path will she take and what path will he take? Each individual’s future life form is dependant upon his karmic account. Some will be born again as humans while some will go into the animal kingdom. Some will become celestials. A Sati will claim, “If I die with him, I will be born with him.” However, that does not happen. That is all foolishness. Really there is no such thing as a husband and wife. All these unions are ‘arrangements’ made by society. Questioner : If there are no quarrels in a marriage, then will a husband and wife be able to live together again in the next life? Dadashri : In this very life, there is no harmony together. Couples divorce each other in this very life, so why are you even talking about the coming life? There is no such love at all. Those who are likely to be together in the next life are couples that have harmony in this current life. They have a lot of love in their life. They do not see any faults in each other at all. If either one of them makes a mistake, the other will not see it as such; this is the kind of love that exists between the two. Questioner : If their present life is filled with such love, then will the same people come together in their next life? Dadashri : Yes they can; certain lives are such that they will. If they have never quarrelled in their entire life, then they will come together again.
