Women does not have a war instinct, and she is not interested in invading countries, creating empires. It is just not in her nature. "That's why I'm insisting that if women took over all the parliaments, war could simply be stopped without any difficulty."
It is the women who suffers most in a war: either her husband dies or her son dies or her father dies. Whenever her country is invaded,"the first victim is the women".
"She is raped by the soldiers of the invading nation; the first thing that the soldiers do is to rape women. She gets nothing out of war except losing everything and being used brutally and violently."
And please note:
War will continue if man remains in power. "Man has to be removed from power- he has a war instinct."
'WOMAN'... Has all the great qualities in her. And whenever a man becomes awakened, he attains to the same qualities which he has been condemning in women. "The qualities that are thought to be weak are all the feminine qualities." And it is a strange fact that all the great qualities come into that category. What is left are only the brutal qualities, animal qualities.
Strength has many dimentions. Love has its own strength. For example, to carry a child in the womb for nine months needs strength, stamina, love. No man would manage it.
"It is difficult to give life to another soul, to give a body to another soul, to give a brain and mind to another soul."
The woman shares wholeheartedly in giving to the child whatever she can manage. And even after the child is born, it is not easy to bring up children.
"To me, it seems to be the most difficult thing in the world."
Any mountain climbers and Astronauts...
These people should first try to bring up children... Then only can we accept that they have done something by climbing the Everest; otherwise it is pointless. Even if you have reached the moon and walked on the moon it does not matter, it doesn't show that you are stronger.
A living child - so volatile, such an energy overflowing that he will tire you within hours. Nine months in the womb and then a few years....
"Just try one night with a small baby in your bed. During that night, in your house, something is going to happen: either the child will kill you or you will kill the child. Most probably you will kill the child, because children are the nastiest people in the world."
They are 'so fresh' and they want to do so many things and you are dead tired. You want to go to sleep, and the child is fully awake; he wants to do all kinds of things and "he want your advice, and questions... and if nothing works then he wants to go the bathroom! He is feeling thirsty... he is feeling hungry in the middle of the night."
I don't think there is any man who can have a pregnancy or who can bring up children."It is the strength of the women." But it is a different strength. There is one strength which is destructive, there is another strength which is creative. There is one strength which is of hatred, and "there is another strength which is Love."
"Love,trust, beauty, sincerity, truthfulness, authenticity - these are all feminine qualities."
And they are far greater than any qualities that man has. But the whole past has been dominated by man and his qualities.
"Naturally in war, love is no use, truth is of no use, beauty is of no use, aesthetic sensibility is of no use."
Remember! In war you need a heart that is more stony than stones. "In war you need simply hate, anger, a madness to destroy."
In three thousand years man has fought fire thousand wars. Yes, this is also strength but not worthy of human beings. "This strength derived from our human inheritance."
It belongs to the past, which is gone, and the feminine qualities belong to the future... Which is coming.
As a woman there is no need to feel yourself weak because of your feminine qualities. "You should feel grateful to existence that what man has to earn, you have been given by nature as a gift."
Man has to learn how to love. Man has to learn how to let the heart be the master and the mind be just an obedient servant. Man has to learn these things.
"The woman brings these things with her." But we condemn all these qualities as weakness. Please note;
"Even if you have chosen women as great individuals, you can see what you have chosen - you have chosen a man, because you have chosen the qualities of man that were in the woman."
For example; if you have read the history, Joan of Arc had all the qualities of man. She could fight with a naked sword, could kill people without any problem. Such women have been chosen in history and great tribute has been paid to them by the historians. "And they don't represent women; in fact that is the reason why they have been chosen - because "they are just carbon copies of men."
"The women's liberation movement has to learn one fundamental thing": That is, not to imitate men and not to listen to what he says about feminine qualities, the feminine personality. "Drop all the ideas of man that he has been putting in your heads. And also drop the ideas of the women's liberation movement, because they are also putting nonsense into your minds."
Their nonsense is that they are trying to prove that men and women are equal. They are not- and when I say they are not, I don't mean that someone is superior and someone is inferior. "I mean that they are unique."
Women are women and men are men; there is no question of comparison. Equally is out of the question. They are not unequal and neither can they be equal;... "They are unique."
Rejoice in your feminine qualities, make a poetry of your feminine qualities. That is your great inheritance from nature. Don't throw it away, because the man does not have them.
I would like the whole world to be full of feminine qualities... "Then only can wars disappear. Then only can we have one world: A loving a peaceful, a silent and beautiful world."
So drop all the conditionings man has given to you. Find your own qualities and develop them.You are not to imitate man; neither is the man to imitate you.
There is no need of any conflict between you, because you are man and woman together.
"Rather than creating a conflict, my whole work is to indicate to you the path, how you can create an orchestra of all your qualities together.
That will be your wholeness as a human being."
