00:00I really sometimes feel very angry at what women have done to themselves and all the
00:04things that they needlessly accept, especially today, when she herself is educated, when
00:09she earns, she knows, she has knowledge, awareness, power, legal protection, all kinds of things
00:15are there.
00:16Why does she have to act subservient?
00:18Why does she need to allow her life to be destroyed?
00:23All that is quite unfathomable.
00:25It's taken as some kind of divine rule.
00:27The woman has to leave her house and go to some other place.
00:30There is nothing divine in this.
00:32This is just social custom and economics.
00:35And you have no obligation to follow any customs whatsoever.
00:39Your only obligation is your own liberation.
00:41You might have the body of a woman, but your consciousness is of a human being.
00:46You are fundamentally just consciousness.
00:48And therefore, your sole purpose in life is your liberation.
00:51You do not exist to appease a man or to produce kids or to carry the mantle of social custom.
00:58No.
