00:00That's the story of a lot of accomplished women in the world.

00:03Even if they are very successful professionally, kind of a void remains within and they don't

00:08even know why.

00:09Often, I meet them, they discuss this with me.

00:11The reason is, as long as you continue to identify with your physical self, you will

00:17continue to be burdened with the mandate of your physical self.

00:21And the mandate of your physical self is not that you become intellectually great.

00:25That's not what Mother Nature wants you to do.

00:27She wants you to nicely settle down in a nest and have babies.

00:30Now, how will then doing even the greatest job in the world contribute to your self-esteem

00:36if you have not done what she wants you to do?

00:38The only way then to feel fulfilled and self-assured is to disown the job she has given you.

00:44The woman must challenge her body.

00:47The woman must learn to channelize her body towards her real goal.

00:52The woman must learn to disown the goal that this male-centered society has given her.
