Questioner: So, if we have young girls in our life whom we can influence or talk to, what do you suggest we should share with them?
Acharya Prashant: It’s a position of tremendous responsibility. Men corrupt women and then suffer as a consequence. Women remain womanly and suffer. I think if there is a girl, a little girl, or a teenage girl, in your life you can influence, the best thing would be to not influence her.
Yes, not influence her. And if you have to influence her, then the influence has to be remedial. Influence her only if there is a great need to rectify something that’s obviously bad, obviously evil. Only then you should interfere in her life. Introduce her to greatness. Just give her glimpses and options as to what all is possible in human life. Let her take decisions of her own. Enable her to take decisions of her own.
If we suffer in our relationships with women, I repeat, we are just paying for the sins of history, and one way to rightly pay for those sins is by, at least, not corrupting the young girls anymore. So, my position on this is nuanced. On one hand, I definitely do agree that, as things stand today, men do suffer in their relationships with women. Obviously, women too, do.
