Questioner: What is the inner intent behind this talk
about adjustment? To what extent should I adjust?
Dadashri: The intent is that of peace, the goal is of peace. It is an art practiced in order to avoid restlessness. It is Dada’s Science of adjustment. This adjustment is a novel one! And you must be getting a taste of what happens whenever you are not able to adjust, right? This disadjustment is itself foolishness. ‘We’ refer to adjustment as justice. Insistence and obstinacy (duragrah) cannot be considered justice. Any kind of obstinacy is not justice. ‘We’ do not force any viewpoint onto others. ‘We’ would cook the green grams with whatever type of water they would cook in; ‘we’ would even use water from the gutter to cook them if need be! Until today, no one has ever disadjusted with me. Whereas, a household of only four people do not adjust with each other. Would you know how to adjust or not? Are you able to do that or not? You will learn from whatever you observe, won’t you? The law of this world is that you will indeed learn from whatever you observe. There is nothing that has to be taught in that. Perhaps you do not understand the part that I am preaching. However, if you observe my conduct, you will easily learn. People do not know how to adjust in their homes and yet they sit down to read scriptures about Selfrealization! Hey, put aside the scriptures. Learn this [to adjust everywhere] first. They do not know how to adjust at home at all. This is how the world is! There is no problem if you do not know anything else in the world, there is no problem if you do not know much about handling a business, but you should know how to adjust. Therefore, in the situation at hand, you should learn how to adjust. In this current era of the time cycle, if you do not know how to adjust, you will suffer. Therefore, you should adjust everywhere and get your work done.
