A student asked his teacher, “What is love?”
The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”
The student went to the field, went thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but wondered….may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one… but thought may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he started to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he had missed the biggest one, and thus regretted.
So, in the end, he went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, “…this is love… you keep looking for better ones, but later on you realise that you have already missed the person".

The student asked: “What is marriage then?
The teacher said :in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.
The student went to the corn field, this time he was careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reached the middle of the field, he picked one medium corn that he felt satisfied, and came back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and belief that this is the best one you can get.... this is marriage
