If you cannot do anything else, at least give someone something to eat. But who are we to give anyone anything? It is God who gives to everyone. The One who gave the mountain peak will also give the food. There is one bhajan that says: Kuchh nahin hai mera, jo bhi hai tera, O Prabhu. Tera hi tujhko de raha hoon, kuchh nahin kho raha hoon. Nothing is mine. Whatever there is, it is Yours, O Lord. When I give back to You, I am losing nothing. It means giving back to You. It means seeing Him in all creatures. Therefore, giving food to hungry people and hungry animals is a great act—good karma. For your family, for your children, for your husband, you cook every day. You must cook. If you do not cook for two or three days, then your husband will send you an invitation for a "speaking." There are two kinds of invitation. One is when you make a mistake in driving, and the traffic police send you a card. The second is when you make a mistake in the home, and your husband sends you a card. So you must cook there. Even if you are a vegetarian but he is not, you have to cut these dead animals. You cannot say no. You are like that cow which is tied up while a fire is burning, and she cannot free herself. She knows she must now burn in that fire. That is it. So marriage means a heavy chain around the neck. Just give the milk, that is all. Lucky are those who have a very good partnership. The feeling, the sense of husband and wife, is lost. In English, the word "marriage" means uniting, merging, meeting in one place. My English friend, Braque, is not remarried; he is poetic. When one drop falls into the ocean, you cannot take it back again. So once you say "yes," it is yes. But now it seems saying "yes" only once is boring. So the first "yes" is during the marriage. The second "yes" is a sign for divorce. And the third "yes" is for the next. That "yes" means, "Yes, I will never do [this again]." So the meaning of marriage is gone. In every culture, there was a preparation for marriage that lasted weeks and weeks. Eating, dancing, singing, happiness—all of these were there for two or three days.
