Gender equality, a distant dream

Since time immemorial, women have always been at the receiving end of all kinds of atrocities committed in the form of wars, terrorist attacks, domestic quarrels and most recently, now, extremism of male domination.

You go to any part of the world, and you will find a lot of cases, where women are exploited from the time they are born till the time they die. So, the question that arises here is that ‘Why women?’ Can anyone ​​explain the reason for these cruelties and barbaric acts on women?

Since Independence, the government has been spending trillions to create mass awareness among its countrymen to change their attitude towards the girl child, but the patriarchal attitude has failed all the schemes of the government. Cases of female foeticides, domestic violence and rapes are still on the rise, cases of dowry killings are also very much increasing.

So what has changed ? Nothing! Men carry the same attitude of being a stronger gender compared to women who are forcibly considered to be a weaker gender.

So, how can this attitude be changed? Who will do it? When will it happen? There are thousand advices that people would give out to root out this evil of gender bias from society.

However, experience shows that even in ancient times, spirituality has been a game changer to resolve this issue of gender bias.

Yes, it’s true because spirituality concentrates more on subtleness of one’s being – Soul rather than physical aspect, that is the body.

Human energy is considered to be the most powerful and potent, compared with all the powers in the world and that is the core of all the issues.

If one learns the art of channelising human energies in the right direction, then probably things will gradually start changing.

It is this unchannelised energy that creates havoc in society, of which the natural victims are women.

So, the crux of the matter is to channelise one’s energy through some positive activity and raise to a level of higher consciousness that is above body and bodily relations and experience the power of divinity within self.
