King Solomon was married to a thousand wives. But he is the same person that said finding a wife is finding good and at the same time he's saying no. I find a wife more bitter than death. How is it possible? How can we solve this contradiction? And the answer is if we go back to the premise, who is the real self? If we're focused on God as the verse says when you're not involved and it's really God who's involved, then it's going to be only good. But when you have one word, the dangerous word, who says King Solomon, if you put yourself there, it's going to be bitter than death. Any fight that a husband and wife have where it's literally gotten so so so ugly and so so sad, it's because there was the Annie, the self, the full self that was right there and you couldn't get rid of it. That's the secret of true reality.
