To be successful, A married man needs
ONLY THREE QUALITIES.
He should :
1) Be strongly rooted in his individual identity and values, like the Banyan Tree.
2) Be flexible like a creeper always clinging on to strong values like the creeper which clings on to the strong tree.
3) Be flexible yet strongly rooted like the grass on the river-bed. This Grass bends along with the water but remains firmly and strongly rooted. You cannot pluck it off so easily. Only it's death plucks it off. So too should he bend along with the flow of married life but remain firm in his individual identity and personal space.
