Autobiography of Gnani Purursh

Autobiography of Gnani Purursh still call her in that manner? I call her Hiraba'. He then asked me if she revered me. I told him that when I go to Baroda, she would first come and do the vidhi, by touching her forehead to my toe and then she would sit down. She would do the vidhi everyday. People have seen all this. How well must I have cared for her that she would come and do the vidhi? No Gnani's wife has done such a vidhi to him before. So imagine how well I cared for her.
and do some damage, it would be a problem for the owner, but not for the guest. The guest merely observes everything. He can ask what happened and if the owner tells him the dog ruined the ghee, the guest will say "That's too bad'. He may say this but he speaks superficially. He has to say "That's too bad', because if he said 'That's good', he will be thrown out!
'I Do Not Like Being Away From You'
Even at this age I tell Hiraba that I do not like going out of town and being away from her. She may be thinking, 'I like it, why does he not like being away? If you say such things, your worldly life will not worsen and slip. From now on why don't you do the same? Add some richness to your life otherwise it will become bland. Pour some sweetness into it. She will ask me, 'You think of me too?' I tell her, 'Very much. If I think of others why would I not think of you? And truly I do think about her, it is not that I don't. Hiraba Does Vidhi At The Feet Of The Gnani Husband
I have not had any conflicts with the Hiraba in forty-five years of marriage. If she speaks within the boundaries of our role, then I too will speak keeping these norms in mind. And if some day her words cross these boundaries, I would understand that she has done so. I would tell her that she is right but I would not let a conflict arise. She will never feel that I have hurt her even for a minute, and neither do I feel that she has hurt me.
One day someone asked me, 'What kind of a relation do you have with your wife now after your enlightenment? Do you still interact with her without calling her by her name?(this generation in India is such that they never address each other by their actual first names)'. I told him, 'No. I call her Hiraba. She is seventy-six and I am seventy-eight, do you think I would
Addressed The Wife as 'Bal After Sexual Relations
Ceased I have addressed Hiraba as "Ba', from the time all sexual relations ceased between us. (Dada became celibate at the age of 35). Since then we have not encountered any obstacles. And whatever few obstacles we had before that, were because of the sexual relations. But as long as the effects of 'bite' of sexual relations remain, so will the obstacles. I am telling you from my personal experience. It is because of presence of Gnan that bites do not bother. In the absence of Gnan, the bite effects of sexual relations will continue to sting and burn because the ego is present there. There is a portion of the ego that has to do with the claim that he took pleasure from me and he would claim, she took pleasure from me, but after Gnan, it is nothing but discharge of karma. However, there will be some quarrel even though it is a discharge. But we did not have that either. We did not have any such disputes. 171 The Gnan State And Its Worldly Expression Passed
Through Every Phase Of Life after Life
Everything here is what I have analyzed. This analysis is not the result of this one life. Is it possible to analyze so many things in just one lifetime? How much can be done in a time
