Introduction
That's the time where she needs to be cared for, protected, taken care of, But over some time somebody makes this a discriminatory process, we are born from that if that is impure our very birth is unclean. The creation is tainted, a prejudice from the spiritual dimension.
Spiritually there is no mention of menstrual cycles anywhere because mentally, you cannot have menstrual cycles, only physiologically you can have. So it's a physiological issue which reflects as a psychological factor in a particular segment of women.
According to spiritually
A substantial segment of women finds a reflection of their physiological process in their psychological makeup, which is a fact that has to be taken care of. If this is being said only because some temples and other things have said women cannot enter at that time, you need to understand this, from where this comes from.
Today's women you forget about her, okay, how she is equipped, how she is capable of handling her bodily needs and other things are a different matter. I want you to look back a thousand years ago – what kind of sanitary facilities did she have, what kind of processes did she have, so there could be issues about that.
It's only for that reason they said. And above all, you need to understand the level of physical activity for a normal woman in those days, cooking for 15-20 people, taking care of the cows, taking care of the children, everything is hers. It's a tremendous amount of physical activity.
So the woman who is going through a certain process of her cycle she gets three days, four days break from everything. Isn't that a wonderful thing? because that's the time where it is almost like a molting period for a woman, on one level. It's not as big as molting but it's almost like that.
That's the time where she needs to be cared for, protected, taken care of, somebody else cooks for you, which never happens in her life; every day she cooks. For those three, four days somebody else cooks for her, somebody else serves her food, she sits alone by herself, she meditates, she sings, she does prayer. Isn't this a good way of doing things, I'm asking? Do not consider this as today's life.
Look back a thousand years ago when these things were made it was a very good way of protecting our women. But over some time somebody makes this a discriminatory process, 'A woman should not come here, should not come there.' That is just out of ignorance certain things happen.
It has nothing to do with the spiritual world. Because if my mother did not have menstrual cycles, I wouldn't be born. We are born from that, if that is impure our very birth is impure and the creation is impure. It's a ridiculous thought even to think like that. It is not because of purity and impurity this has come, it has come for practical reasons.
Even today we meet thousands of women who suffer a lot at that time because they still have to go to work, they still have to deal with everything. Many of them are on medication at that time just to keep their psychological balance.
They would enjoy rest, they would enjoy a little bit of seclusion from everything that they are doing. But thinking it is pure, the impure question is coming in a very rudimentary mind, it is no sense in… no fundamental sense about life.
