Who is a man and who is a woman? || Acharya Prashant, on Jesus Christ (2016)

“No woman would have authority over man, no woman would disobey man and her job is to remain Silent.”

~ 1 Timothy 2:12

Acharya Prashant: Every single sutra here contains the essence of Bible, the essence of the word of God. It is just that it is expressed a little differently in each quote, in each sutra, in each aphorism. Just as the audiences are different, just as we are different as persons. But the speaker is always the same. The speaker, the source is always the one. Even one sutra, if brought lovingly to heart, will burn away all that causes us grief, suffering and separation.

But I appreciate that as distinct personalities, we will have our distinct tastes.So, which one appeals to you, yes?

Listener: Relating to real life, I was sitting with my friend and you said we shouldn’t sit with our friend and we were deciding which one of us would move, and I said, “Look, no woman should have authority over man”, but she commanded me and I moved, despite me telling her that she must be silent. So…

AP: Only the woman can ever move; man is not given to moving. It is beyond the nature and capacity of man to move. I ask you: who is Jesus? Because if you cannot answer who Jesus is then you also will not understand who is a man and who is as woman.
