Questioner : I really try to adjust with my wife, but I am not able to do so.

Dadashri : Everything is according to previous accounts. It is simply a matter of nuts and bolts. Both have to match to fit each other. You cannot use a straight nut to fit a bolt with angled threads. You may think, ‘why are women like this?’ Women are your counterweight. They are helpful to you. Her obstinacy is proportional to your own fault. I see this and therefore I say that everything is scientific circumstantial evidence(vyavasthit).

Questioner : It seems as if everyone has come to straighten me out.

Dadashri : You must be straightened out, otherwise how will your world function?  You will not be a good father if you do not improve. Women are such that they will not change, so you will have to change. Their inherent nature prevents them from adjusting. They are not likely to change. What is a wife ?

Questioner : You tell us, Dada.

Dadashri : ‘Wife is the counterweight of man’.  If that counterweight is not there, then man would fall.

Questioner : I do not understand. Please explain.

Dadashri : Counterweights are installed in engines. The engine will break down without these counterweights. In the same way, women are the counterweight of men. Without a wife to stabilize a husband, the man will fall. He will run around everywhere, without any purpose. He comes home because of the woman.  Otherwise, would he?

Questioner : No, he would not.

Dadashri : She is his counterweight.
