Life Without Conflict

then it is understandable if you question why you should have
to adjust. On the contrary, you can challenge your opponents
to file claims against you. But we are talking about just one day
of Brahma and so you have to resolve everything in a short
time. If you have to accomplish a task in a short time, what
must you do? Resolve it quickly by adjusting. Otherwise, will it
not drag on?
When you fight with your wife, are you able to sleep well
at night? No, and the next morning you do not even get a good
breakfast.
I have made a very subtle discovery of this worldly life.
I am telling you everything having discovered the ultimate truth.
I will show you the way to live your daily life and I will also
show you how to achieve liberation. My only intent is to
minimize your difficulties.
Become a ‘Useless Coin’
You should not enforce your control at home. Those who
do will have to wander around, life after life. I had told Hiraba
that I was a ‘useless coin’. Why? I cannot afford to wander life
after life. Where does a useless coin end up? He simply has to
sit next to God. If you try to exercise control at home, will
conflicts not arise? From now on, you must simply settle
matters with equanimity. At home, you have to live with your
wife as her friend, and she has to do the same. No one cares
who is in control, whether it is you or her, and neither is it
recorded anywhere in the government books. God does not
care either. Are you concerned about the control issue or
whether you get food to eat? Therefore only worry and figure
out what is the best way to get your meals, don’t worry about
anything else. I admit I too would not adjust if someone were
keeping tract over the issue of control, but in reality nobody
cares.
