Two Wings – Excerpt C
24 March 1979, Midnapur

The rights of women were also curbed in the same way [through psycho-economic exploitation]. If one says, “This should not be done. That should not be done. A woman will be censured if she does it, but a man, if he does the same, will not be criticized,” what type of logic is this? The same logic should apply to one and all. If the boys are the sons of Parama Puruśa, then the girls are His daughters, and they are entitled to equal rights. Just as a father takes his son on his lap and dotes over him, similarly, he takes his daughter on his lap and showers his love on her. He certainly does not hold any idea in his mind that he will not love her because she is a girl. So those who say that women are not entitled to spiritual salvation are clearly opportunists. They are social exploiters, they are wicked, they are bad.
