RE: women's nature 1

[Guest guest]

OM Namah Sivaya "Mahamuni Das" <mahamuni “Sounds like the real author of those words plainly didn't like women. Probably he/they were either sexually repressed, spurned/hurt/ rejected by a woman/women in the past, or were like so many people that furiously denounce one thing while secretly desiring/pursuing it (like several US Republicans in office as of late).” Why not thinking that the real intention of the author is to help a young spiritual aspirant to advance rapidly in his goal? When someone criticised Sri Swami Sivananda about his negative view on women, his answers as follows: Question: I read your writings in "My Magazine": "Woman is only a rotten leather bag containing urine, pus, wool, blood, etc." How can we condemn and deprecate womankind? I think that there is nothing unholy in this universe. Answer: by Sri Swami Sivananda Too much study and a little practice bring bewilderment. To induce Vairagya in the

passionate people, I place such a negative mental picture of women. Really, women are manifestations of Sakti. Yes, all is holy. All is sacred. All is beautiful. This can be realized and felt only by people advanced in the spiritual line. Beginners can merely repeat these formulas like a parrot. Their experience, Drishti and mode of Sadhana are entirely different from the expressions of realized persons. Beginners should be very careful, as they will be easily duped by Maya. Question: Why has God created young beautiful women?

There must be some sense in His creation. We should enjoy them and procreate as many as possible. We should keep up the progeny of the line. If all people become Sannyasins and go to forests, what will become of this world? Answer: by Sri Swami Sivananda These beautiful women and wealth are the instruments of Maya to delude you and entrap you into the nets. If you wish to remain always as a worldly man with low thoughts, debasing desires, you can by all means do so. You are at perfect liberty. You can marry three hundred and fifty wives and procreate as many

children. Nobody can check you. But you will soon find that this world cannot give you the satisfaction you want, because all objects are conditioned in time, space and causation. There are death, disease, old age, cares, worries and anxieties, fear, loss, disappointment, failure, heat, cold, snake-bites, scorpion-stings, abuse, earthquakes, accidents, etc. You cannot at all find rest of mind even for a single second. As your mind is filled with passion and impurity, your understanding is clouded and your intellect is perverted now. You are not able to understand the illusory nature of the universe and the everlasting bliss of Atma. Passion can be effectively checked. There are potent methods. After checking passion, you will enjoy real bliss from within— from Atma. All men cannot become Sannyasins. They have various ties and attachments. They are passionate and cannot, therefore, leave the world. They are pinned to their wives, children and property. Your proposition is wholly wrong. It is Asambhava, impossible. Have you ever heard in the annals of the world’s history that this world had become vacant as all men had become Sannyasins? Then, why do you bring in this absurd proposition? This is an ingenious trick of your mind to support your foolish arguments and Satanic philosophy which has passion and sexual gratification as its important tenets. Do not talk like this in future. This exposes your foolishness and passion-nature. Do not bother yourself about this world. Mind your own business. God is all-powerful. Even if this world is completely evacuated when all people retire to forests, God will immediately create crores of people by mere willing,

within the twinkling of an eye. This is not your look-out. Find out methods to eradicate your passion. Sivaya Namah
