Sannyas has to be a real break away. A loving surrender to the new....

The woman should be given her rights to grow in her own uniqueness, and that will enhance the whole society....

 

The woman is never interested in faraway things, her interest is very real. And if she is allowed freedom — and she will have to be allowed because it is time …. This kind of slavery cannot be tolerated any more; neither by women, nor by any man who has any compassion, any intelligence, any love. This situation has to be totally changed.

 

Then she will sing songs that her past is absolutely missing. She will dance, and she will dance better than any Nijinsky; she will paint better than any Picasso. And her songs and her paintings and her music and her dances will be closer to life, more sane, more healthy. Once she is completely liberated she will be able to produce more Buddhas, more Bodhidharmas, more Jesuses than man has been able to. And one thing can be said with absolute certainty, that she will not crucify a Jesus, she will not poison a Socrates, she will not murder a Mansoor; that is simply inconceivable about woman.

 

Man is destructive, woman is creative. Her laughter will also be of a different quality, of a far superior quality … more innocent and more childlike.

 

It has not been up to now possible simply because the woman has not been accepted as a human being. And she has been forced to remain in the shadows, never coming out into the light. But I would like my people, whether they are men or women, to feel sad about the past and to do everything to break away from the past and its ugly inheritance. I teach complete discontinuity.

 

The woman should be given her rights to grow in her own uniqueness, and that will enhance the whole society.
