00:00 Emotions we are born with and especially being a woman, in the biological scheme of things,
00:16 emotions are powerful. The thing is, what do these emotions want to do to you? Where
00:34 are these emotions coming from? This same body that is the source of all emotions, what
00:47 does it really want? Is your nose really very interested in having a career? The emotion
01:01 is coming from the nose, the emotion is coming from the eyes, the ears, the skin, all parts
01:16 of the body and I am not even naming the brain right now. The entire body gives rise to emotions.
01:30 What does the body want? You have a woman's body, what does it want? And we share our
01:39 bodies with animals, what do bodies want? Do the bodies want the woman to have a career?
01:49 Do the bodies want the woman to have knowledge and wisdom? Is your nose annoyed? If you do
01:59 not study, do your eyebrows feel offended if you do not clear an exam? Nothing happens.
02:14 The skin continues to glow even if you are an extremely ignorant person. In fact, it
02:22 has been seen that the skin of ignorant persons glows much more brightly than those who are
02:34 a little less ignorant. Does the skin care for knowledge, career, consciousness? No.
02:50 Now the relationships, are the relationships coming from wisdom and consciousness or are
02:56 the relationships themselves coming from the body? Don't be in a hurry to answer. I just
03:05 want you to consider it. So, the body manifests itself in the relationships. How do we choose
03:22 friends? We choose the kind of friends that support our mental patterns. We choose friends
03:33 whose company allows a rush of dopamine to the brain. So, you are not choosing friends.
03:42 It's the body, the brain that is choosing friends. How do we choose partners? We choose
03:52 partners based on their intellectual depth and spiritual wisdom. We may claim so, it
03:58 sounds honorable, but the fact is that the body has its own ways and the first proof
04:10 is that a woman likes to choose a man and a man likes to choose a woman. If we were
04:18 looking only for intellect and depth, why would gender be a concern? But the gender
04:27 is the first thing. So, the relationship itself is founded on the body. Now see where we are
04:34 coming. The relationship is the body and what you want is wisdom and consciousness. Now
04:52 why will these two go together? Why will your relationships be conducive to your career
04:59 or to your real growth? You have an exam tomorrow. You know that you have an exam tomorrow. Does
05:13 the body still not want to fall asleep? Have you not experienced this? That even if you
05:23 know that something very important is to be done, yet the body starts acting lazy and
05:28 sleepy. Have you not experienced this? Yeah, I have experienced this. So, the body has
05:35 no respect for the real things in life. The body has respect only for its biological construction
05:43 and the body is biologically constructed just to have fun of all kinds in life. Eat, sleep,
05:51 be merry, repeat. You could say food, sex, sleep, repeat. That's all that is there to
06:04 this body. And if our relationships are coming from the body, then know very well that your
06:17 relationships will not be aligned with your intellectual pursuits, including your career
06:26 choices. Do you feel I am beating around the bush? Probably I am. Or am I coming to a point?
06:40 No, you are coming to a point. All right. All this disturbance that you experience,
06:53 heavy emotionality, quick to cry, these things happen and they happen a little more with
07:03 women. They are just the conspiracies of this body against your real purpose in life. So,
07:17 be very, very watchful. You are not born just to be a servant to your body and emotions
07:31 are just bodily. Do not give too much respect to your emotions. Wisdom and discretion is
07:41 one thing and emotionality is a totally different thing. Getting it? If you start living your
07:52 life founded on emotions, you won't go very far. You would go only in the direction of
08:01 your bodily constitution. That's where your biological life wants to take you and the
08:09 places where your biological life intends to take you are not very glorious or dignified
08:15 places. Do not let those things happen to you. Emotions will continue because your body
08:25 will continue. So, what can you do? Do not patronize your emotions. Do not energize your
08:34 emotions. When emotions rise, do not say these are my emotions. Say these are the body's
08:42 emotions. Fight against these emotions. Whenever these emotional disturbances arise, do not
08:56 say, oh, what can I do? This has happened, that had happened. Now I am feeling disturbed.
09:02 Somebody has come and disturbed me. Say, I know the way the disturbance is coming from
09:07 and I do not want to side with it. Let the disturbance be there. I will still continue
09:13 to do what is right. Are you getting it? All your life, yes, yes.
09:25 Ignoring our emotions, it's a very difficult thing. Yes, it is difficult, but it's worth
09:30 it. Yeah. Because if you do not ignore them, they will be all over you. Yeah. And always
09:39 remember the emotions are not yours. The emotions belong to the body. The body and the body
09:50 is not a very glorious thing. You are a conscious human being. Your purpose in life is to gain
10:01 heights of consciousness, of wisdom, of freedom and the body wants no wisdom, no freedom.
10:12 And I am saying, especially in the case of the woman, the body can militate very strongly
10:20 against the purposes of the consciousness. So, you have to be even more alert. And if
10:27 you can be alert, the results are worth it. So, this happens with women only? No, no,
10:40 it happens with everybody. It happens with everybody. But the thing is that you look
10:45 at our societal structure. You look at the way everything is designed to affect a girl
10:55 child in a way that makes her more body centric. And you look at how Prakriti, physical nature,
11:05 has chosen the woman as her preferred equipment for her continuation. When you look at the
11:15 reproductive cycle, it affects the woman far more deeply and for a much longer duration
11:23 than it affects the man. So, in that sense, the woman has to be more
11:30 cautious. Both the man and the woman are offsprings of Prakriti. Therefore, they both are vulnerable
11:46 to the chains of Prakriti. But woman has some additional forces acting against her. Right?
12:01 And therefore, she has to be extra cautious. But that also means that her victory tastes
12:10 sweeter. That also means that when she succeeds, the success means even more. And it is not
12:25 much important to ask who is at a greater risk. The more relevant question to ask is,
12:37 would you be alright if you do not achieve your real nature? Maybe the odds are a little
12:49 more against you. But the inner urge to be liberated is the same in all human beings,
13:00 irrespective of their gender. So, will you be at peace if you remain a hostage to your
13:09 body? Tell me. So, that's the question to ask. Do not ask how easy or difficult is it
13:20 for me compared to a man? Because the thing is not relative, the thing is not comparative.
13:30 Maybe it's a bit more difficult for a woman. So what? It's worth it. If it's worth it,
13:39 then we will fight it out.
