Women are the one and the only source of order in the world at large. In the approaching days, they will emerge as the most energetic spiritual voice of the 21st century. Vivekananda says, "There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly only on one wing."
All over the world women should take charge and become leaders. They must break away from the clutches of the male dominated world to the glory of humanity. Only women can evolve this earth and uplift it to the height of heaven.
They are the carriers of the seeds of Truth. Nevertheless, women have to discard the useless tools of hatred, jealousy, grudge, envy, ego, sympathy, anxiety, guilt, rejection, excitement, inspiration, passion, fear, false prestige, false dignity and so on. The naturally emergent anger should not be converted to grudge. Anger is beautiful when it facilitates the flow of Truth. Aristotle says, "The man who gets angry at the right things, with the right people and in the right way and at the right time and for the right length of time, is commended”. M. K. Gandhi says, “As heat conserved is transmitted into energy, so anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world."
Women's blind belief in the myth of passion has given birth to wicked plans and techniques of emotional blackmail that men adopt cleverly. Women should divert her limitless inner energy to diligently observe every universal development as a mute spectator to understand all forms of wicked functioning of this male dominated world. Women have to observe in silence and lead in action. The world awaits a change of guard. Robert Ingersoll say, "There will never be a generation of great men until there has been a generation of free women and free mothers". -
The Mahabharata says, "Never should a man do to another, what he would not want another to do to him. This is the essence of all Dharma". In the Vedic scriptures, we can see countless hymns connected with the universal order, but not with the personal order. Nevertheless, the ‘Sage Vishwamitra’ corrupted the sacredness of Vedas by introducing his anti feminine thinking. In the ancient days, Sage Vishwamitra, used to suffer from identity crisis whenever there was an encounter with Sage Vasishta, who was a ‘Brahma-Rishi’ (an enlightened person with timeless vision of Kala, the flow of Time).
Vishwamitra always envied Sage Vasishtha’s boundless vision. Driven solely by envy he performed deep penance to attain the status of ‘Brahma-Rishi’. His envy-driven single point focus and the personal desire to attain the status of Brahma-Rishi drove him to acquire ‘The Gayatri Hymns’. It was the ‘Anti feminine Hymn’, which was against the spirit of the universal order of the Vedic times. According to Sage Vishwamitra, only men retain the right to chant ‘The Gayatri Hymns’. Sage Vishwamitra exploited the selfish space and the identity crisis of the ugly male dominated world and became immensely popular. The priestly class of medieval India grabbed ‘The Gayatri Hymns’ and made it a pioneering product of their corrupted Anti Vedic Vision. Even today, the priestly class of India endorses the same vision that is being vigorously marketed.
In the ancient days women led communities. Individual family structure was non-existent and people were viewed as members of the greater community. This created a male identity crisis, which many men have been struggling with over many centuries. Slowly, men learned to exploit all the natural laws of existence to tackle this identity crisis. By imposing strict rules and the religious laws on women, they, were able to make impotent, the infinite power of the feminine force within nature.
However, when the Sage Vasishta supported the family concept, there was goodness in it. After attaining the state of highest enlightenment, Sage Vasishta thought to revamp the material world by supporting the concept of family. In India, even today, the hymns of the marriage rituals sing of living like “Vasishta and Arundati”, in goodness; this concept has been distorted with identification of family lines, reinforcing and compensating an underlying identity crisis.
At present, however, nature has opened the doors of the spiritual pathway to women. It is now the duty of every woman to prove the immortal power of her flesh and blood. Women are not helpless creatures. They are the true nucleus of human civilization.
It is now time for a woman to pick the powerful tool of universal love and Truth. She will be the winner of the world because she is nature, the universe and the future of our children. Swami Vivekananda says, "Get up and set your shoulder to the wheel. How long is this life for you? As you come into this world leave some mark behind. Otherwise, where is the difference between you and the stones, trees and animals? They too, come into existence, decay and die".
