walk around with undue arrogance of, 'I know something. What do they know? And yet men have no idea of what commonsense is. Everything happens as a result of fruition of one's karma.
A person who intimidates everyone cannot refrain from bickering with his wife. Why does he bicker with his wife? Does he not bicker at least two or four times in a twelve year span?
Questioner: He bickers everyday.
Dadashri: Everyday! So how can you consider him a man? And then he says he has sense. Where is the sense? If he had any sense, he would not fight with his wife. When he has separation due to difference of opinion with his wife, do you not realize he lacks common sense?
