He says that both traditional expectations and modern lifestyles can become forms of bondage if they are merely roles imposed by society. Referring to ideas like gender as performance discussed by Judith Butler, he highlights how even thoughts and behaviors about modernity may be socially implanted. Acharya Ji points out that earlier women were objectified through ownership as prescribed in Manusmriti, while today objectification continues in subtler ways through media and culture. He argues that when conditioning becomes internal and invisible, it becomes even more dangerous because people mistake it for freedom. Modern women may appear independent but often still face hidden pressures related to sexuality, appearance, relationships, and social expectations. True freedom, he concludes, does not lie in imitating traditional or modern models but in deep inner understanding that frees one from all conditioning. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b&nd=1&dlsi=2d753e5523df4ceb Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~~~~
