Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of premarital pregnancy and abortion, framing it as a consequence of physical development outpacing conscious evolution. He argues that providing external power or empowerment to an individual who lacks internal awakening is dangerous and destructive. He illustrates this by pointing out how modern technology, information, and political rights are often misused for animalistic instincts or violence because people lack self-knowledge. He emphasizes that true empowerment, especially for women, must begin with spiritual awakening and internal light, rather than just acquiring external rights or financial independence. He critiques the common understanding of feminism, distinguishing between 'gender equality' and 'liberation from gender identity.' He suggests that seeking equality in the mistakes and follies of men is not true progress. Instead, women should strive to transcend their identification with the body and biological instincts, as nature has designed them to be deeply tied to their physical forms. He asserts that as long as a woman identifies primarily as a body, she remains vulnerable to exploitation. True empowerment is the process of evolving from a 'biological animal' to a conscious human being through self-knowledge. Acharya Prashant also challenges the narrative of women as passive victims of patriarchal traditions like domesticity. He points out that many women choose the comfort of the household over the hardships of the outside world due to their own unexamined self-interests. He argues that individuals often selectively follow traditions that suit their convenience while ignoring others. He concludes by urging women to stop playing the 'victim card' and to take full responsibility for their own lives and liberation, stating that real change comes from internal maturity and the courage to handle one's own destiny.
