If you make economics the only value of your life, then world will become very male.
There must be a world, where women can be hundred percent feminine and still be absolutely successful.
Money should not be the ruling factor.
Question Slide: We’ve heard of the “glass ceiling” for women.
What can society do so that women can succeed more?
Sadhguru: Well, a woman is… a woman is not a separate species, first of all (Laughter/Applause).
This too much of man-woman thing is being done, unfortunately.
It's a small biological difference to serve a certain purpose.
We're all here today because of this difference, yes? So we don't have to treat woman like separate species.
There was a time when the world was such, that a woman couldn’t really go out and do much,
because of the nature of the world around. Suppose right now… you know…
I don't know, maybe 2-3000 people turned up from many parts of the world for yesterday's event in Kashi.
I think in this more than sixty percent are women. Now suppose this was 1000 years ago,
it would be ninety-five percent men, only five percent women maybe,
because to travel by walk or by… on a horseback and to come to Kashi from thousand miles away,
would be a challenging thing for a woman, would not be very safe for a woman, those days.
But today, you must understand, it’s not your liberal attitude which has brought woman
reasonably level, just technology. Technology has leveled the difference because
your big muscle is no more useful, you need some brain (Applause).
When man's muscle did everything on this planet naturally man was dominant.
This dominance also is misunderstood. He dominated in one arena which was filmed and reported,
she dominated in a different arena which was private and not reported. (Applause)
If you make economics the only value of your life, money is the only prime value in your life
then world will become very male because there will be no room for the feminine to find expression.
They may be women but they will surrender their feminine to be successful unfortunately.
This should not happen. Women should succeed as women not as men (Applause)
with full-blown feminine nature they must be able to be successful in a society.
They don't have to be pretend to be a man to be successful. This has to go.
If this has to go the world has to move completely from brawn to brain,
it's very important, this transition (Applause). Now when you talk about economy or money power it's brawn,
it's a different kind of muscle. So we are taking away the physical muscle and bringing in the money muscle.
So once again you are creating a male dominated society, masculine dominated society
because now women have understood how to be successful by being masculine.
No, this is not a good thing for the world. There must be a world,
where women can be hundred percent feminine and still be absolutely successful.
If this has to happen money should not be the ruling factor, it should be just currency.
Money is just currency to facilitate things but right now, money is the ruling factor
so masculine becomes the dominant force. We need to change this.
Unless music, aesthetics, love, beauty and other things, everything becomes equal proportions,
feminine will not flourish and if feminine is wiped out of this planet
then all the men will sit and wonder “Why are we living” (Applause).
