00:00As long as the woman says I am the woman and I want liberty, it would be the liberty that you can get within

00:07confinement, within a jail. So the inmates, the prisoners, they have a lot of rights within the jail.

00:12Do you want that kind of a situation? I have a lot of rights within the jail. Your fundamental jail is the body itself.

00:19Why won't you want to live as per the instructions of your body? When we say let me do what I want to do,

00:27let me live my life as per my desire. Is your desire really your desire?

00:31Just as the man's desire is the hormone's desire, the woman's desire is equally the hormone's desire.

00:37Where is your desire really? Please tell me. What we need is liberation and liberation is not liberty.

00:43Liberation is not liberty. Liberation is something very very different. To be liberated is to exceed both manhood and womanhood.

00:51Liberation is about knowing who you really are and therefore what your fundamental desire is. Only that can help us and save us.
