Acharya Prashant clarifies the meaning of verse 18, which states that a liberated one disregards the company of women as a blade of grass. He explains that when a saint uses language, they are communicating with common people but do not mean the same things. In spiritual terms, the entire world is considered 'Prakriti' or the cosmic woman, while the witnessing consciousness is 'Purush' or the man. Therefore, the verse implies that the liberated one is indifferent to the material world and its influences, rather than expressing prejudice against human women. He asserts that in spiritual terms, everyone identified with the body and mind is essentially feminine, and the only true masculinity is the potential for witnessing consciousness or God.
