Etymology

A married person; from the word griha meaning house

From Swamiji

Blessed are those who don’t have anybody in their life who need to change when they change.

Greater blessed are those who have people who change, when you change.

If you don’t have anybody, you are not stuck with anybody—your change is you change—you don’t need to wait for anybody else to change along with you, you are a Sannaysis.

If you have somebody in your life who changes, when you change, you are a real Grihasta. If you have somebody to hold you even when you change, not ready to change, you are a house holder. Grihasta is not householder, ‘holder’. Grihasta means moving, moving, moving. Graha stithi, the stithi of grahas (planets) is moving, changing, changing, changing. If you are in the stithi of grahas — Grihasta. But the very word ‘householder’ brings a different context—house-‘holder’. It is like suddenly after the aircraft lands, you put a bolt and nut and seal that in the runway. Grihasta means the plane is led to fly like grahas (planets).

Change anything can be changed. Change with challenge. Go on challenging anything which says — ‘I won’t change’. Try to change the very change itself.
