Acharya Prashant addresses the perception of women in spiritual scriptures, specifically responding to a verse from the Bhagavad Gita where Shri Krishna mentions that even those of lower birth, including women, attain the supreme goal by taking refuge in Him. He clarifies that from Shri Krishna's perspective, the individual self is an illusion; therefore, distinctions of gender, life, or death do not exist. The mention of women in a seemingly lower category was a reflection of the listener's mindset, specifically Arjun, who was bound by the social and cultural conditioning of his time. During that era, the economy and power were entirely dependent on physical muscle power, which naturally favored men, leading to a male-dominated social structure where women were viewed as secondary.
