Man have one thing that not exist in woman ever: what you call 'aspiration'. In life, man use this thing - this
aspirationfor
many things, all wrong for his life, but must use because have such
need. Man - not woman - climb mountains, go under oceans, fly in air,
because must do such thing. Impossible for him not to do; cannot resist
this. Look at life around you: Man write music, man paint pictures,
write books, all such things. Is way, he think, find Heaven for self."
Man
who can learn how to achieve higher self - how go to proper Heaven -
can use all this aspiration for development of self, for what you call
immortality.
Not necessary for woman do work of man in
world. If woman can find real man, then woman become real woman without
necessity work. But, like I tell, world mixed up. Today in world real man not exist, so woman even try to become man, do man's work which is wrong for her nature.
