00:09 You have no obligation to follow any customs whatsoever.

00:14 Your only obligation is your own liberation.

00:16 You might have the body of a woman, but your consciousness is of a human being.

00:21 You are fundamentally just consciousness and therefore your sole purpose in life is your

00:25 liberation.

00:26 You do not exist to appease a man or to produce kids or to carry the mantle of social custom.

00:32 I really sometimes feel very angry at what women have done to themselves and all the

00:37 things that they needlessly accept.

00:39 Why allow herself to be a hostage to the past, blind traditions, forces of economics, especially

00:45 today when she herself is educated, when she earns, she knows, she has knowledge, awareness,

00:53 Why does she need to allow her life to be destroyed?

00:56 All that is quite unfathomable.
