Acharya Prashant addresses a question about why women are often perceived as using their intellect less and are not given importance in decision-making. He explains that every child, whether a boy or a girl, is born with certain innate qualities. The purpose of education and upbringing should be to provide values that help the individual progress towards understanding, elevation, and ultimately, liberation. However, this ideal is not realized in our society. While there are natural, inherent differences between a boy and a girl from birth, which are neither good nor bad in themselves, the problem lies in the upbringing given to the girl child. She is provided with a very body-centric environment and education, which leads to a surge in emotions and a blunting of her intellect. The ultimate goal of life is not intellect but liberation. Practically, especially in India, it is observed that women tend to be more emotional, more body-centric, and use their consciousness and intellect comparatively less. Acharya Prashant clarifies that this is not an inevitable fate but a matter of great misfortune resulting from their conditioning. The fault lies not with the female body but with the upbringing that teaches a girl her primary purpose is to bear children, serve a man, and manage the household. This conditioning leads her to question the need for intellect, as she is not expected to pursue professional roles. Even her education is often limited to subjects deemed suitable for women. It is a matter of regret when a woman becomes a man's toy, as a man does not want his toy to be intelligent. He explains that a foolish man wants to see a woman as unintelligent, and it is a tragic situation when a woman internalizes this and makes herself so. Using an analogy, he states that while Dushasan once tried to disrobe Draupadi, today Dushasan has entered Draupadi herself, and she disrobes herself to become a man's plaything. This is a result of the conditioning by media, advertisements, and the entire market and education system, which deliberately keep women foolish. The only salvation for a woman, he asserts, is spirituality, which teaches her that she is not the body. Responding to a follow-up question from a doctor about the difficulty of going against the body's powerful natural mechanisms, Acharya Prashant points out that the very act of assessing the body's capabilities proves that consciousness is separate from the body. Just as an eye cannot see itself, one must be separate from the body to be its witness. This act of witnessing is the function of consciousness. He encourages the questioner to continue this process, stating that while it is not easy, it is possible. He likens the body's natural tendencies to dogs barking outside; one must continue their own work (of consciousness) without being disturbed. This, he explains, is the essence of Purusha-Prakriti Vibhaga Yoga—the separation of consciousness (Purusha) from nature (Prakriti). He concludes that a good scientist or physiologist should find liberation easier because they understand the body's mechanisms and can see through the illusion of the material world to go beyond it.
