The woman and the man



When we think about gender the first thought is about the physical attributes.

But if we move beyond, we might get answers to several puzzling questions.

The masculine and feminine energy is beautifully depicted in the 'Ardhanarishwara', a form of Shiva and Shakti. We all have both the energies in all of us, but due to social conditioning we often let one dominate over the other, whereas the key is in balance. The biological body that the soul adorns has its purpose, but we need to move beyond and find the 'essence' to live a more complete life.

In the society, we have assigned feminine roles to women and masculine roles to men rather rigidly. The end result is both of them feel incomplete without the other. The rigidity and incompleteness is visible all around, starting from clothing to behavior.

Deep inside, being Masculine is about 'giving' and feminine is about 'receiving'. Masculine is 'doing' and feminine is 'being' and so on. Our desires or tasks will manifest only when both are in balance, otherwise we become dependent on others for completion.

The balance would mean discovering the 'mother' and the 'father' in ourselves. Life partners are our companions, they are not here to complete us. We are born complete. One needs to feel the completeness to manifest happiness and fulfillment in life.

  1. I paid a visit to Vishal recently with my mother who had been battling depression for many years. I always wondered why she had been depressed despite having everything working fine for her. In that first meeting, Vishal spoke a lot of profound things in such simple terms that we were blown away by what we heard. My mother diligently started following everything he suggested and within the matter of a week, she had forgotten everything about depression. She in fact tells me that she believes that such a phase never existed in her life. I have to thank Vishal a million times and wish that all the best things happen to him ever for just that session. I may run out of space if I start mentioning how a PLR session with him has helped me. Thank you Vishal. Thanks for everything. May the best things always happen to you!
