Adjust Everywhere 9
Dadashri : It is all based on your karmic account . When you have crooked threads and a crooked nut , and you try to screw them in straight , how can that work ? You wonder , ‘ Why are women like this ?’ But women are your counterweights . She will be ‘ crooked ’ to the extent that you are at fault . And that is indeed why ‘ we ’ have said that everything is vyavasthit , haven ’ t ‘ we ’?
Questioner : It seems as if everyone has come to straighten me out .
Dadashri : You should indeed get straightened out . Without becoming straight , the world will not function , will it ? How can you become a [ good ] father if you don ’ t straighten out ? You can become a [ good ] father if you straighten out . Women are such that they do not change , so we [ men ] will have to change . They are natural ; they are not likely to change .
What is a wife ? Questioner : You tell us .
Dadashri : A wife is the counterweight of her husband . If that counterweight was not there , then the husband would fall .
Questioner : I did not understand .
Dadashri : Counterweights are installed in engines , otherwise the engine would break down without these counterweights . In the same way , women are the counterweight of men . With the presence of a wife , he will not fall . Otherwise , he will run around without any purpose . He may be here today , and tomorrow he will be somewhere else . It is because of the wife that he comes home , otherwise would he ever come home ?
