Should You Improve Her or Adjust?

If you were to adjust to the other person in every aspect, then things would become so straightforward! What are you going to take with you [when you die]? Someone may say, “Straighten her out.” Hey, if you try to straighten her out, then you will end up becoming crooked. Therefore, do not try to straighten out your wife; no matter how she is, tell her that she is correct. It would be a different matter if you were going to maintain a relationship with her life after life, but who knows where she will be in her next life? You will both die at different times, and your karmas are different! There is nothing to give and nothing to take. Who knows to whom she will go [in her next life] when she leaves from here? You may manage to improve her and, in her next life, she will end up becoming someone else’s wife! Therefore, do not try to straighten her out. She too, should not try to straighten you out. Whatever you have is as good as gold. No one’s prakruti can ever straighten out. A dog’s tail will always remain crooked. Therefore, you should tread with caution. Let her be however she may be; adjust everywhere.
