How to bring about a total women’s revolution?
--
As long as the woman keeps thinking that her body is an asset, there is no freedom for her.
As long as the woman keeps thinking that freedom is about flaunting her body, there is no freedom for her.
The woman is the more oppressed of the two genders and therefore, the revolution must arise from the woman.
Woman by rebelling against the body will be the harbinger of the revolution that will liberate the entire mankind, women, and men, both included.
Woman gives birth to a man, woman will also need to give birth to the freedom of man. Man will not be able to give birth to his own freedom. Freedom too will be born out of the woman. That does not seem to be happening.

It’s just that now the body centricity is a little hidden. There is only one way to go beyond the body and that is the way of truth, the way of spirituality. All other ways go from the body to the body.

All these great liberation movements have taken you from the body to the body. So, there is no liberation at all, you are just being cheated and fooled.

In fact, you would love to say that religion is the curse of woman; that using religion, the woman has been confined and oppressed and what not. But all that was false religion. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If the woman can be saved, it is only through true spirituality because spirituality alone can take you out of your body identification.
Man rides upon woman, enslaves woman because the man is very important for the woman. Woman may not be the center of the man’s world, but go to most women and you will find that man is the center of woman’s world. It is quite strange.
We need women to be alright with themselves. We don’t want women to be emotionally dependent or…
