Adjust Everywhere

into the door, nevertheless the wire has not been damaged

the fuse for him, then he will be set once again. Otherwise,

Short Life, Prolonged Hassles
What is the greatest suffering of all? It is of dis-
adjustment. 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.

saree? You will have to buy me that saree.” When he asks
