The Habit Of Judging

One man asked me, "Swamiji can you please tell me a way to find a connection with the eighteen-handed Devi."

I told him, "First you try to find a connection with your two handed wife and then we will see how to establish a connection with the eighteen-handed Devi!"
(Laughter!)

Another man came to me and asked for blessings for a divorce.

I told him that I will give blessings for marriage but not for divorce.

I asked him what the problem was and if I could sort it out.

He told me, "Swamiji, this morning, I asked for coffee. She came with the coffee with such haste and spilt it on my clothes."

I was shocked and told him that the incident seemed too trivial to ask for a divorce.
He went on to say, "Swamiji, you don"t know, today she poured coffee, tomorrow she will pour acid."

I was really shocked. I told him, "Ayyah, why do you want to move from coffee to acid without any reason? All she did was spill coffee in some anger and haste and in any case, she is going to be the one who is going to wash your clothes!"

He continued, "Swamiji, during our marriage, there is a custom wherein three pots of water are kept and the couple are meant to leave their hands in all three of them to try and find a ring which has been dropped in one of them. As early as that time, she scratched my hand with her nail!"

(Laughter!)

In order to zero down the distance between the couple, small games such as these are played during the Indian weddings. The man has been keeping a 10-year track of such trivial incidents!
