I'm A Woman? || Acharya Prashant

[00:00:00]I'm a well-educated woman. I'm a high-earning woman. I'm a knowledgeable woman. I'm an empowered woman. But I'm still a woman.

[00:00:13]That's the bondage. And from this, nobody can give you freedom. Nobody. You need to stop looking at yourself as a woman. Many beliefs that I carry are still much the same as those carried by my grandmother. She needs to look at herself, not as a female body, but as human consciousness. I am in the body of a woman. That's fine. The body, and one has no say over that. One is born a male, one is born a female, and that's all right. That's what Prakriti does.

[00:00:49]50-50. [snorts] That's fine. The body is that of a woman, but I'm not identified with my body. Who am I? I am the human consciousness itself, out to attain its utmost potential, not here to fulfill the same traditional roles by the back door.
