Transcript

One thing that's happened in a very large way to the Western world and rapidly happening to the Eastern part of the world now is the whole world is being driven by the economic engine right now.

Though we are trying to raise economics to heaven,

Economics is essentially a survival process,

Procuring what you want for your well-being and your loved ones.

Essentially that's all it is.

When we say there's an economic buzz,

What it means is everybody is going shopping.

Yes,

For something or the other.

So it is essentially a procurement and survival process.

Now we are trying to raise survival process to heaven,

Which is a very wrong thing to do.

We will pay huge price for this as humanity over a period of time.

Once you make survival process the only goal in our lives,

There is no room for the feminine.

We will kill the feminine.

We may not kill the females,

But we'll kill the feminine.

If you kill the females,

You will immediately realize this is not good after some time.

But if you kill the feminine,

You will not realize this.

When women tend to become like men,

They are really defeated.

Because the thing about the feminine is just this,

See when your survival is in question,

Survival process is a very important thing.

You don't have food to eat,

That's the biggest thing.

But once survival process is taken care of in human life,

It doesn't even mean anything.

That is when you want to love,

That is when you want beauty in your life,

That is when you want the gentleness of what feminine is.

So that dimension is being slowly… you can never eradicate it,

But it is being reduced.

When I say feminine,

I'm not talking about women.

I'm saying the feminine aspect of nature becomes relevant to you because your survival is taken care of.

Now you're aspiring for other dimensions of life.

If your music,

Meditation,

Dance,

Art,

Craft,

Aesthetics,

Love,

All these things will become relevant,

Only survival is taken care of.

We are trying to destroy the feminine trait completely because we are making the value system such that economic well-being,

Economic success is the only success,

Nothing else is worthwhile.

When this happened,

Women are trying to gear themselves up like men and do things,

We will just do it.

This is not the way of a woman.

Woman is not just do it.

She would like to do it her own way.

That is when the feminine is worthwhile because it's not about somehow getting there.

It is about getting there in a particular way that makes our life beautiful.

I love you and your words... they have such meaning in that which is getting pushed so far away from what we should be considering, no, ought to be considering, most important in our lives. The drive to thrive is driven by capitalism which has no room for feminine or, in many aspects, common decency of interaction. Thank you Sadhguru, again, again for your poignant message. 💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

What a beautiful way of looking at femininity. And he said it’s not just women he’s referring to. Wow. Beautiful.

So important and true. When men step into their masculine energy and power and take care of things it allows women to be fully in their feminine energy and make life beautiful for themselves and for men.
