тАЬThat brother is such a rascal. He roams all over the city and does this and does that. But this one is such a nice girl. She follows all the parental instructions, does her homework properly, gets good grades in school, and the brother is a rascal.тАЭ But the brother will end up in Silicon Valley, and the sister will end up in the kitchen. Don't be a good girl with your mother sitting next to you. That's the advice I'm offering.

Questioner: Sir, I'm a 14-year-old, and sir, every year for 9 days in India, men, every Hindu, they come and they worship a goddess for 9 days. And for the rest of the year, they forget about it, and they beat her, and they hate her, and they'll not send her to school, and they'll oppress her for everything. So for these nine days, just for these nine days, they'll remember the goddess. But for the rest of the year, the goddess is nowhere to be found.
I want to know how I can make people understand how significant it is to respect a person throughout the year and respect a gender throughout the year and not oppress them.
Acharya Prashant: First of all, I appreciate the spirit of your question. But at the same time Devi is not about a particular gender, though where you are coming from is a very proper place. Yes, there is a very perverse kind of gender discrimination and exploitation here, but the fact still remains that Devi does not represent a particular gender. That's a very common misunderstanding, that Devi represents the feminine side of existence, and all that people are holding forth on, and gurus and all. This is sheer nonsense.
