Adjust Everywhere
25
hours a day, thereafter this Gnan began. This Gnan did not
manifest just like that! So, I had taken all these adjustments
from the beginning to avoid as many conflicts as possible.
One day I went for a bath, but the tumbler had not
been placed. How am I a Gnani if I do not adjust? So I
adjusted. I dipped my hand in, and the water was very hot.
I turned on the cold-water tap, but the tank was empty. So,
slowly and carefully, I cupped the water in my hands,
cooled it, and took a bath. All the mahatmas were saying,
“Today Dada is taking a long time to bathe.” What could
I do? I had to wait until the water had cooled down, didn’t
I? I never tell anyone, “Bring me this, and bring me that.”
I adjust. To adjust is indeed a moral duty. In this world,
the adjustments of ‘plus-minus’ are required. Where there
is a minus, plus [neutralize] it, and where there is a plus,
minus [neutralize] it. If someone were to call ‘our’ wisdom
madness, then I would tell him, “Yes, that is correct.” I
would immediately minus it.
Therefore, if one does not know how to adjust, then
how can he be considered a man? A home will not have
any conflicts if adjustments are made according to the
circumstances. I, too, kept adjusting to Hiraba. If you want
to enjoy the benefit of your wife’s company, you should adjust.
Otherwise, you will not benefit in any way, and vengeance
bound is an additive on top of that! This is because every

of happiness, if he receives pain, then he will bind vengeance,
regardless of whether it is his wife or his son.
Questioner: One comes seeking happiness but
receives pain instead; is that why he binds vengeance?
Dadashri: Yes, and then it does not matter whether
