Adjust Everywhere
Adjust Everywhere
Dadashri : I know the force at work behind these conflicts. I know what force is working when she is being argumentative. In a conflict, we say things and then we adjust. For the one who has received Gnan (the knowledge of SelfRealization), this is easily understood. Others who have not received this knowledge must adjust in this world because every conflict eventually comes to end. If any conflict continues, everyone involved suffers. You hurt yourself and you hurt others.
ADJUSTMENT THROUGH PRAYER
conflict in every household except this one!" Your energies have to be cultivated especially with those who you do not get along with. These energies are already present with people you get along with. Inability to adjust is a weakness. Why is it possible for me to get along with everyone? The more you adjust, the more your energies will increase and your weaknesses will diminish. Right understanding prevails only when all the wrong understandings are demolished.
Everyone gets along with easy-going and good-natured people but when you learn to get along with difficult, stubborn and harsh personalities, you have truly accomplished something. No matter how brazen and shameful a person is, if you know how to adjust without losing your mind, it is well worth it. Losing your temper is useless. Nothing in this world will 'fit' you. However, if you 'fit' into it, the world will be good. If you attempt to make it 'fit' you, it will be *crooked.' Adjust everywhere. As long as you 'fit' into it, there will be no problems.

Questioner: I have made my best effort to make the other person understand. After this, is it not all up to him?

It is invaluable. Surely, you must be experiencing the results of your inability to adjust. *Disadjustment' is foolishness. Whenever one feels that he cannot relinquish his authority as a husband, he sets himself up for his own downfall. His life will be miserable. Let things run the way they are. When the wife says, "You are stupid", you should reply, "You are right."
ADJUST WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
The Gnani will adjust even with the person who refuses to adjust. If you observe the Gnani Purush, you can learn to make all kinds of adjustments. The science behind the Gnan helps you become vitraag, which means freedom from attachment and abhorrence. Your suffering is because of this attachment or abhorrence that still exists within you. You will be labeled a misfit if you become indifferent and apathetic in your worldly dealings. We must be able to convince even the most obstinate and the disagreeable people. If we need a porter at a railway station, and he haggles with the charges, we have to settle the deal with a few extra rupees. If we don't, we will have to carry the luggage ourselves.
Questioner: One-sided adjustments are not possible in this world. Is that right?
Dadashri : The very definition of ideal worldly life is adjustment. Even the neighbors will notice and say, "There is
