![“Do not keep control over household affairs. The one who keeps control has to wander around. The unusable money [torn notes, ruined coins] are offered as homage in prayer rituals! ‘Live’ as a ‘friend’ with the ‘wife’. You are her ‘friend’ and she is your ‘friend’.” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/05c/dada-bhagwan-31_affairs_do-not-keep-control-over-household-affai_636413.jpg)
