anger to dominate our minds. This also helps us to realize the true nature of<br />

anger. If its nature is realized, then we can easily eradicate it or prevent its<br />

growth.<br />

In India, the reality is that many people still believe men are superior to<br />

women, women should obey and serve men. Abuse of women, sexual<br />

discrimination, differential wages, male preference are still going on. These<br />

are more or less global phenomena although they may take different forms<br />

in different places.<br />

This androcentric view has its roots even in religions like Christianity and<br />

Hinduism. So women of today often fall into self under-esteem on the path<br />

of their self realization. Women are not allowed to grow. Are women really<br />

Bhagavan says this Aquarian age is age of women. It’s not that women and<br />

men are not equal but that they are just different each other. The<br />

These are all just differences. Men and women have different skills. Today,<br />

female managers score over men with those qualities like teamwork,<br />

decision making ability, collaboration, patience, commitment, devotion,<br />

etc. which are inherent in women. Bhagavan says women are superior to<br />

men in spirituality. They have subtler senses, they are more sensitive,<br />

compassionate and loving, more mystic and get easily enlightened.<br />

Why, then, couldn’t they flower? Because of the social, cultural, religious<br />

conditions which made them feel suppressed and have fear in properly<br />

estimating themselves and having confidence. To break these conditions,<br />

women need to get right knowledge about themselves. They have to really<br />

know about their body, their mind, their relationship, their parenting, their
