Acharya Prashant responds to a woman who identifies as a modern, bold, confident, and free feminist. She enjoys traveling, shopping for expensive clothes and jewelry, and has hobbies like painting and blogging, all funded by her husband's large business. She asks why people are jealous of her and why she should feel ashamed. Acharya Prashant begins by affirming that there is nothing wrong with her hobbies and interests, and no reason to feel ashamed of them. However, he introduces a crucial point: one should do whatever they do on their own strength. He suggests that the issue of others' jealousy is less important than the question of her own true independence. He states that the problem she feels from others' taunts arises because, deep down, she lacks pride in her way of life, which is why the question of shame comes to her mind. He explains that true freedom is not merely the ability to take a flight, shop, or wear what one pleases. If this lifestyle is entirely funded by her husband's money, he calls it a profound form of slavery, not freedom. He refers to this as "borrowed freedom" and the expensive items as "ornaments of slavery." The confidence she feels is not her own but is based on the crutch of her husband's wealth. He points out that she is simply dependent. Acharya Prashant questions how a feminist ideology can align with complete financial dependence on a man. He argues that the first principle of feminism and women's liberation is to "eat the bread of your own earning." Quoting the saying, "Begging is equivalent to death," he stresses the importance of earning enough to not have to ask for anything. He advises that only after achieving financial self-reliance can one genuinely claim to be bold, confident, and free. He also notes that art, such as her painting or blogging, can only have life in it when it emerges from one's own life struggles.
