Bhakt: Prabhu, rapes are not ending, what is going on? People are so angry.
Bhagwan: Indeed people are angry, especially women. They are so badly treated. And these cases are just tip of the iceberg. Real problem is much graver. It is the humiliation of day and night which women have to suffer. They are being treated as objects of pleasure with ‘use and throw’ approach.
Bhakt: But Prabhu why all this is going on even in this modern age? People now are educated and women have equal rights.
Bhagwan: It has nothing to do with education or rights. It is simply a reflection of – Attitude of Reckless Lust and Sadism. And this Reckless Lust is mental first and then physical.
Bhakt: What is that Prabhu? Why do people rape or indulge in sexual crime?
Bhagwan: Understand this. Every sexual crime range different degree of mix of lust and sadism. Some such crimes can be on one extreme of prime objective of sexual pleasure whereas some can be on other extreme of due to prime objective of sadism, a desire to overpower, use and inflict pain on others. But these are extremes and most cases are a complex mix of these two in varying degree. And this is why you see gang rapes these days.
Bhakt: Then how do we control this Prabhu?
Bhagwan: Humans know everything, discuss everything but do little. The changes are required in overall system, laws, judiciary, policing, , education, reforms and above all change in mindset. Women must become bold and never shy in raising voice and other people must join immediately in aggressively protesting against sexual crimes. They must make sure that every such culprit must be caught and punished. This will slowly make such offenders realize that any such misadventure will be dealt severely and immediately. Every sexual crime must become responsibility of society instead of suffering girl or woman alone.
Bhakt: But humans are doing this now?
Bhagwan: Yes now they are doing. And they must do this strongly in every cases till its conclusion. It will take time for results to come. Offenders will get their minds restrained and such offences will get reduced. But people must remain alert and active now, they must not go back to sleep. And this applies to all problems. Remain alert, be active and work united towards change.
Bhakt: But Prabhu what about the mindset?
Bhagwan: Mindset is a dynamic state. It is a subconscious learning of years and results in behavior which reflects this learning. Mere preaching cannot change mindset. It is too strong to be controlled and that is why even strong laws are not enough to stop people from becoming offenders.
Bhakt: How this mindset develops Prabhu?
Bhagwan: See how this particular mindset has developed. Sexual crime reflects a subconscious mix of attitudes of society –
-
Attitude towards sex.
-
Attitude towards women
-
Attitude towards others in general
-
Attitude towards self
Every human being is unique and so is every case of sexual
crime. Every human being learns since childhood these attitudes based on what
is going on in family, neighborhood, school and society. Thus develops a unique
personality. The attitudes thus learned are reinforced over time and result in
behavior pattern. Since these attitudes are deep in subconscious mind, it is
not easy to control behavior both by person ( or offender) or by society (by
punishment or reforms).
Bhakt: Is there any solution Prabhu?
Bhagwan: There must be short term, mid term and long term goals to bring about required changes. This requires sincerity, collective effort and wisdom. But the problem will persist if humans talk something and act otherwise. After all, nothing can be achieved without use of brain.
Bhakt: Using brain, Prabhu!!! Naaraayan !!! Naaraayan !!!
