00:00An educated woman acting helpless and choiceless is not a pretty sight to behold.
00:08You are a human being. You are a consciousness with choice.
00:13And you have been empowered internally with education and externally with laws.
00:20This country works on rule of law.
00:23And the laws are very, very favorable to women.
00:25In fact, men complain that the laws are actually too favorable to women.
00:32So you are educated. You have the support of laws.
00:35Why are you acting dull and helpless now?
00:39Rise, exercise your choice and live a free life.
00:43And external freedom, even if it's guaranteed by law, will not be of much use if you are internally still enslaved.
00:53Enslaved by custom, tradition, emotions.
00:59That internal freedom can come only from self-knowledge.
01:03That's Adhyatma. That's wisdom. That's Vedanta.
01:07I'm fond of saying, spirituality is the best friend of a girl.
01:13That alone can empower her and give her wings.
