________________ 12 authority to change any situation. It is only scientific circumstantial evidence. Where no one has the power; who can spoil anything in this world? If the wall had any power, you would too. Is it capable of confronting you? The same applies to everyone else too. Whatever the account your wife has come with, she will not leave you without settling it. She is simply an instrument to settle your account. You cannot escape this. What is the point of shouting and complaining when she has no control over her speech? Therefore become a like a wall yourself. If you continue to be verbally abusive to your wife, the God within her will take note of it. On the other hand if you become like a wall when she abuses you the God within you will help you. The fact that the wall collides with you is due to your own mistake. It is not the wall's fault. People ask, "Is everyone a wall then?" Yes, they are all walls. I see this in my enlightened universal view and tell you the way it is. This is not a lie. There is no difference between colliding with a wall and getting into an argument over differences of opinion with someone. It is essentially the same thing. Both are blind. A person bumps into a wall because he cannot see and a person gets into conflict because he cannot see. One cannot see what lies ahead of him, and the other cannot find a solution ahead of him so he is in disagreement. All these anger, pride, attachment and greed arise because of inability to see what lies ahead. This is how we should understand this. It is no fault of the wall, but of the person who is hurt by it. All these are walls only. All situations are like the wall. When you clash with a wall you do not go to find who was at fault. There is no need to prove who is right and who is wrong. You must think of those who are clashing with you, as 13 walls. Look for the door, so even in the darkness you will be able to find your way out of it. You need to make it a rule not to clash with anyone. You do not want conflict with anyone. THIS IS HOW TO LIVE LIFE No one knows how to live. They do not know the first thing about marriage but even then get pushed into it. They do not know how to be parents, but they become parents anyway. You should live life in such a way that it would make your children happy. Each morning you should all decide that throughout the day you do not want to come into conflict with anyone. What benefit do you get from conflict? Questioner: We only get hurt. Dadashri : Not only that, but your entire day will be ruined. Moreover, you will forgo human birth in your next life. Human life form can only come as long as there is goodness and decency in you. But if you maintain a beastly nature, battling and ramming your horns into others, will you again be worthy of human birth? Who uses horns? Bull or man? Questioner: Man seems to use it more. Dadashri : Then if a man causes harm, he will have to take birth in the animal kingdom, where he will have four legs and a tail in addition. Life is not easy there. It is full of pain and suffering. You must understand this well. CONFLICT IS A SIGN OF OUR IGNORANCE Questioner: Do we clash in our lives because we cannot find compatibility? Dadashri: Conflict is worldly life and worldly life is
