If you look within and beyond the physical aspect, there is no

different between man and woman, spiritually. That is why it is said

at thehighest level : Brahman there is no gender. No man and no

woman. That is when you have achieve the highest spiritual level,

there is no distinciton.

 

But how many of us are still stuck in this physical level. That is

what we are made of and we are able to identify with. Women and Men

are physically different, that is the fact of life. Women have the

womb and men dont. The Womb is the sacred symbol of fertility since

the ancient times. The life giving force and energy. The earth is

like the womb too. Why do they call the earth as Mother? If you

explore biologically too, the womb is closely associated with the

production of the hormones. That is why some women who have undergo

total hysterectomy [ total removal of the womb ] they need hormones

to maintain their feminity. Once they stop the hormones, they become

more like man and create a lot of neurological imbalances such as

depression etc. It is the womb in close association with the hormone

production in the brain, that gives rise to the development of

breast. Breast are Laksmi actually because it a nourisher. It

nourishes a child thirst.

 

You try to dress a woman into a man, or a man into a women, it does

not hide the fact that she is still SHE and He is stil HE. Playing

dressing up does not change the whole fact of life. It does not turn

a man into women.

 

As one move upward spiritually, physical and gender has no place.

You move gradually. Just like a child we grow and develop. how can

you try to run when you can't even stand and walk properly? That is

why a lot of people fall, because they do not accept the reality of

it that we have to move gradually and not just like some super sonic

jet. They know their goal : to become Ardhanarashwari/a, but when

you concentrate on the goal without trying to perfect your

processes, your goal just become a goal. A dream that just a Dream.

 

You look up at the mountain, you see Ardhanarashwari/a sitting

smiling at you calling you to come to them, but you can't reach it,

because you are stuck. You choose not to look/accept at the Earth

that support your leg and body, no wonder many of us falls.

 

 

"the woman who is able in the world, not only to give birth

physically, but to give birth to activities, ideas, etc. that

benefit humanity."

 

Perhaps you should read the Lalitha Sahasranama again. It tells you

the attributes of Lalitha herself. She give birth to all :

activities, ideas , humanity etc.
