This quarrel was more serious than the petty quarrels that usually occur between husband and wife. Because in this dispute, criticizing each other had increased so much that the husband and wife had reached the point of asking each other for divorce.
Everyone else in the joint family became very upset and tried to end the quarrel somehow. When all efforts failed, they took the couple to the eldest member of the family, Dadaji.
When both husband and wife entered Dadaji's room, Dadaji asked them to sit down and then asked what is your problem. Both husband and wife spoke together and criticized each other. As much as the wife was telling the faults in her husband, the husband was telling more in his wife. And this continued for several minutes.
Even Dadaji did not stop them and let them vent their anger on each other. Finally when both got tired of doing each other's bad things and became silent, Dadaji said now tell each other some good things.
When it came time to say goodbye, both husband and wife were completely silent. Perhaps they were not remembering anything in anger or because of anger they did not want to share the good things of each other. Dadaji also felt this.
When no one spoke for a while, Grandpa said, "Okay, well, take this paper and pen, and write each other's good deeds on it."
Both husband and wife took paper and pen and sat far away from each other. For some time, neither the husband nor the wife wrote anything. Then the husband started writing something on the paper. Seeing this, the wife also started writing on her paper. It seemed as if the two were competing against each other. Both of them wrote on the paper for a long time and when the paper was full of writing, both of them went to Dadaji to give him the paper.
Dada ji refused to take the paper from both of them and said to give your paper to each other and now read each other's paper.
The husband gave his paper to the wife and the wife gave her paper to the husband. They started reading each other's papers. After some time both husband and wife had tears in their eyes. After reading the good things written about him on the paper, the wife started crying. Seeing his wife crying, the husband ran to silence her and began to persuade her by apologizing. The wife also apologized to the husband and the atmosphere became as if no quarrel had ever happened.
Friends, there are flaws and virtues in every human being. Now it is up to us whether we make our life a hell by looking at the flaws or make our life a heaven by looking at the good things.
