Like many women in distress, she meets a Guru. Guruji tells her that 'men' are not the cause of any women's problem. As menstruation, menopause, and mental start with 'men' a woman seems to perceive that the cause of all her problems is a man. So, she starts competing with a man. She forgets her own intrinsic nature of being feminine and strong. She copies lot of masculine habits and loses her originality and unique identity. This idea is explained better with a story about birds in the book.
The book is filled with beautiful insights about Life. "Now listen carefully to what i'm saying. Marry for the right reason. Don't marry out of social pressure, insecurity, for financial upgradation, or because of loneliness. A lot of people marry because marriage offers another shoulder to lean on. If you are unhappy and insecure, the marriage will only 'enhance' this state of being. " And you do not have control over anyone's actions but your own.
Why is that a woman born in Russia takes her divorce in stride and continues with her life, but a woman born in India finds it difficult to emotionally adjust with a divorce?

Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning - discard the chains and ropes of conditioning and open the windows of your mind. Let fresh air circulate, ventilate, and energize your system.
