Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of women being labeled and judged by society, explaining that the real problem is not the external criticism itself, but the internal need for validation. He argues that this dependency arises from a lack of self-knowledge, leading individuals to borrow their sense of self from tradition and social expectations. He emphasizes that as long as one seeks approval from others, they grant those others power and control over their lives. He describes the condition of needing external sanction for intimate life choices as pathetic and urges women to recognize an inner sacredness that should remain inviolable. He further discusses how women have been historically trained to be dependent—physically, financially, and emotionally—and how this dependence is often glorified. Acharya Prashant points out that history and tradition have often sanctioned the oppression of women, and therefore, women must make a fresh start by engaging with deep philosophy and wisdom rather than clinging to historical identities. He highlights that flattery and the beauty industry are tools used to maintain this dependency, as they make a woman's self-worth contingent on external praise. Regarding parental control and social restrictions, Acharya Prashant asserts that freedom always comes with a price. He advises that if financial dependence is being used to curtail one's liberty, the solution is to reduce personal needs and earn one's own living. He stresses that no price is too high for freedom and that one must be willing to practice a form of 'right disobedience' to maintain their integrity. He concludes by warning that any form of financial support with strings attached—whether from parents, husbands, or boyfriends—is a form of bondage that eventually leads to demands and suffering.
