Story – There is an anecdote related to Kabirdas. One day Kabir ji was weaving clothes and at that time a young man came to him. When the young man salutes, Kabir ji says with a smile, ‘It is visible in your salutation that you are worried about something, what is the matter?’
The young man said, ‘There is a lot of discord in my family. My wife and I don’t have any rapport at all, we don’t get along at all. Can you suggest any solution?’
Kabir ji said, ‘Stay.’ He called out to his wife Loi and said, ‘Bring a lantern and light it.’
Kabir ji’s wife brought the lantern lit in no time. The young man thought that it was noon, he called for the lantern and his wife kept it quietly, without arguing.
Kabir ji again said to his wife, ‘Bring her something sweet.’
Kabir ji’s wife went away by keeping salty instead of sweet. The young man asked Kabir ji, ‘What are you doing?’
Kabir ji said, ‘You were shocked to see the lantern burning, but my wife brought it without arguing. When I called sweet, she brought the salty and did not quarrel with her, I thought that there may be no sweet in the house, so she has brought the salty. When I had ordered the lantern, my wife must have thought that it is strange to order a lantern in the afternoon, but who should argue then she brought the lantern and kept it. Husband and wife should be patient in the family and should avoid arguments.
Lessons – Keep two things in mind in married life. Be patient and avoid arguments. Don’t react suddenly. If your life partner is saying something, then watch patiently, understand and talk without argument.
