What is the greatest suffering of all? It is of disadjustment.
If one adjusts everywhere, then what is the
problem?
Questioner: That indeed requires Purusharth.
Dadashri: There is no need for any kind of Purusharth. Dada has said, “Adjust everywhere,” so follow that. Then you will continue to adjust. If your wife says, “You are a thief,” then you should tell her, “You are correct.” When your wife asks to buy a saree worth 150 rupees, give her an extra 25 rupees. That will at least last up to six months! It’s like this; just one day of Brahma is equal to our entire life! So, why all these hassles just to live one day of Brahma’s life? If you were to live 100 years of Brahma’s life, then it is reasonable for one to say, “Forget it, why should we adjust? Sue me.” But the one who wants to finish quickly, what would he have to do? Would you adjust or would you tell him, “Sue me?” But this is just for ‘one day’ [in the life of Brahma]. It is going to end quickly. What should you do for a task that needs to be finished quickly? You would adjust and cut it short. Otherwise, would it not prolong? If you quarrel with your wife, then would you actually be able to sleep at night? And in the morning you would not get a good breakfast either.
