I have defined it very nicely. So I tell them, 'This verily is the sign of my failing matriculation!'
Yard stick of commonsense
You have a degree of C.A. (Chartered Accountant) but you still have roles to play. You will have to act accordingly. The role of being a C.A., then the role of having a wife; will you not have to know all that? Otherwise, your wife will give you much trouble. Is that not so, because you do not know how to deal with her? She would not give you any trouble if you did. And your wife has not come to give you trouble, she has come to make a home for you.

I told her, ‘Don't say anything, I understand everything.' One cannot reconcile this. Should a person not have at least some commonsense for daily worldly interaction? Should a person not be practical?
So what do I tell women? I tell them, 'Listen dear. What will become of you if your husband turns out be without practical commonsense? Do you like living a life with someone like this? Nevertheless, you will not be able to escape whatever is in your destiny prarabdha karma effect, and yet you
