116 Life Without Conflict
Dadashri: Are your quarrels mild or do you truly fight with each other?
Questioner: Sometimes we truly fight, but we forget about it the next day.
Dadashri: What else would you do if not forget? It is only when you forget that you quarrel again. Who would quarrel again if he did not forget? People live in big bungalows and even though there are only five people in it, they fight. Nature gives them food and shelter yet even then people quarrel. People are only good at fighting and quarreling.
Quarrels only arise among underdeveloped people. It is because they do not know how to arrive at the totality of the situation that they fight.
There are as many religions as there are people, but how is one to build a temple of his own religion? Nevertheless, everyone’ s dharma is different. When people sit to do samayik( meditative introspection), everyone’ s samayik is different. Alas! Some people sit in the back and throw tiny pebbles at the ones doing samayik! Such people too, will do their own samayik! There is absolutely no religion left in this and neither any meaning. If there were any trace of religion left, there would be no quarrels in the homes and if any quarrels were to take place, there would be only one or so a month. The dark phase of the moon only comes once a month does it not?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Here people have the dark phase all thirty days of the month! What do people get when they quarrel?
Questioner: There is only loss.
Dadashri: No one would invest in a business that is unprofitable. No one is telling them to do so either. Surely, they must gain something from it.
