Harmony in Marriage
13
Questioner : There is a lot of discord even amongst the
three of us.
Dadashri : Is that so? Even amongst the three of you?
Questioner : Life would not be fun if there were no
conflicts!
Dadashri : Oh ho ho! Is this the kind of fun you look
for? If so, then why don’t you have conflicts everyday? Which
smart Alec made this discovery?
Questioner : No Dada, we do not want that kind of fun.
Dadashri : All these people are simply rationalizing their
irresponsible behaviour.
What is the cost of discord? Is it expensive or cheap? Do
you have a lot of or a little discord?
Questioner : Sometimes there is less discord, sometimes
more. It is expensive.
Dadashri : Some days you celebrate and some days
you quarrel. Do you enjoy the quarrels, or does it ruin the fun?
Questioner : That is how the world revolves.
Dadashri : No, these are all excuses for people. Rather
than admit their own weakness, they blame it on the world.
Questioner : It is definitely a weakness on our part, and
that is why the problems occur.
Dadashri : Yes, that is it. People try to hide their
weakness by saying this is how the world revolves. It is
because they hide their weakness, that their weakness remains.
What does the weakness say? It says, “Until you acknowledge
my presence, I will not leave.”
