Do u think you are a woman?

[Haridham]

Hare krsna Everyone. This is Haridham.

 

I am just recalling a story from bookdistribution i had once. I have many stories but here is something small to discuss if we can.

 

While doing books, a woman approached me and said "why does your culture say that women arent intelligent"?

 

My Reply, "Do you think that you are a woman"

 

Her Reply, "Well yeah I have to be i guess"

 

THen I said "then you arent intelligent if you think you are woman. You are not this body. I told her that our culture describes the nature of the body a perticular soul carries. There are many men who are arent intelligent, simply because they think they are men"

 

This got her attention and we conversed some more. I dont know what happened to her but what i could tell was that she left with a more clear understand of vedic culturee and she even took a book.

 

So any comments.

 

Hare krsna.

Hari Dham

Perhaps this belongs in the Joy thread?

Actually, Prabhupada said this. I have the quote somewhere. Funny, you just stated it from reading the books, but its something Prabhupada really said! /images/graemlins/smile.gif Thanks.

 

(Am wondering what a joy thread is.)

I did say it after reading it from one of praphupads books.
