Now the first day is the worship of the housewife where you have to buy some sort of a utensil for the kitchen or for the use of the wife or could be a present for the wife, but is said that woman must be respected, but they should be respectable. If they are not respectable how can they be respected.
Now I have to warn you all people to be careful with the western influence. In the western influence money has become everything. The morality, the character, all the value system is all finished, so we as Sahaja Yogis have to stop all that. Now the first thing we have to understand that the society is completely dependant on the Gruha Lakshmis, that means a housewife has to be a very lady of great character, respectability and dignity. Society is her responsibility, she is responsible for creating peace, understanding and for giving full idea as to what is love.
I think her responsibility is much more difficult, subtler than that of men and she is the Shakti of the family so she should not try to behave in a manner that is not dignified or matured. Say for example every woman wants to become the Mother, but in the western country many woman don’t want, especially in America because they think by that their body will be spoiled or something will happen that their husbands may not be attracted towards them. So there’s all the time the mad race going on between husband and wife. Husband is running after many women and many woman are, the woman are also running after men or they dominate their husband, in this mad race the children are neglected, the household is neglected and there’s always quarrel going on between the two.
So women should not try to be so subservient about this kind of mad race, they should keep their dignity, they should keep their character…
