No Trouble

A Danish man traveled alone to seek Swami’s darshan while his wife stayed home to take care of the household. The husband was blessed with several interviews and phoned his wife to share his joy.

But back home, the heating system had broken down, the washing machine had stopped working, and other calamities had occurred. The wife was very annoyed and in her mind blamed Swami. She cried out, “Why do you give him so much attention, Swami, and give me only trouble?”

At that very moment the husband was again called for an interview. Swami said, “Your wife has quite a temper.” The husband, who knew nothing about the wife’s trouble at home, answered, “No, Swami, she is very sweet.” Swami insisted, “But she has a very hot temper.” The husband replied, “But, Swami, I have no trouble with her.” Then Swami said, “No, you may not have trouble with her.”
