Allowing the Feminine to Flow

"THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT A WOMAN SHOULD GUARD AGAINST IS TRYING TO BECOME LIKE A MAN" - SADHGURU

- Sadhguru, Isha Foundation

Never before in the history of humanity has a woman had the opportunities she has today, simply because technology has leveled the playing field. When physical strength was determining life, naturally the masculine would dominate. Now that technology has leveled things, whether you are male or female, your physical strength is no longer the deciding factor as to how far you can go.

However, we still continue to magnify this simple biological difference that nature has created, to the extent that what should have been only one aspect of our life unfortunately has seeped into every aspect of our life. You do not have to be a man or a woman in every aspect of life. You can just function as a human being. But in today's society, we have established these things in such a hardcore, straight-jacketed way that we think this is nature's way. It is not. The segregation is purely social. We need to work ourselves out of this baggage.

The most important thing that a woman should guard against is trying to become like a man. Because of this baggage that has existed for such a long time, a woman may think that everything masculine is superior. This whole idea of what is superior and what is inferior is very masculine. If you look at life, everything has a role to play.
