Building a Healthy Society – Excerpt C
24 February 1967, Ranchi

In Ananda Marga, the entire property of the universe is seen as the property of all. In a society imbued with such a common ideal, there is little scope for economic injustice.

Discrimination between men and women also encourages injustice. In human society, there is marked tendency to consider women as being inferior to men. In many parts of the world women are looked upon as mere objects of enjoyment. In some countries, they are even considered unfit for learning spiritual practices. Our Ananda Marga grants equal rights to both men and women. Men and women have equal rights to be married according to the Ananda Marga system. Both men and women are given equal respect in our social system, thus there is no scope for men to be considered as superior to women.
