Transcript

00:00The woman's body has been raised or evolved in a way that there is a lot of

00:06insecurity because the historical, prakritic, natural role of the woman was

00:11to raise kids. She will seek physical and mental protection, security, and she will

00:18seek a mate who can impregnate her. Now that is continuing even today and if

00:23that continues, no empowerment makes any sense. If you give her external freedom

00:29without caring for her internal freedom, external freedom will make very little

00:35difference. In fact external freedom will become dangerous because it will create

00:39an illusion of freedom. She will think she is free, she will claim she is empowered

00:43whereas she is as much in bondage as she always has been and that's the case of a

00:50lot of so-called empowered women today. So that's where self-knowledge comes in.
