Pearls of Wisdom - 41


Kashyapa Muni to Diti, "O afflicted one, I shall soon gratify your desire. It is only due to having a good wife that a man like me can cross over the great ocean of material existence. Indeed, a wife is so helpful that she is called better half of a man's body. Just as a military commander can easily conquer invaders while remaining protected within a fort, so a man can easily conquer his senses by taking shelter of a good wife. For this reason, a man could never repay his wife for all the benefit that he derives from her, even if he were to try to do so during his entire lifetime, or even after death."

Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto - 3
