Masculine or the Feminine ??

A small excerpt (Pandit Vasudev to Shiva) from Amish’s ‘The Secret of the Nagas’

“Most people believe there are many hundreds of ways of life in the world; every civilization thinks it is unique in some way. But if you actually distil the way people live there are only two ways: The Masculine and The Feminine.”

And as he defines further, Masculine way is the ‘life by laws: unchangeable, rigid laws’, the life of TRUTH, DUTY and HONOUR. Feminine way is the ‘life of probabilities’, the code of success in which is unmistakably PASSION, BEAUTY and FREEDOM.

Of course the theory above is at least 4000 years old but some things never change, this concept has been here always as the concept of Yang and Yin. So let’s work out and find the muscle forces and the feminine beauty in our present. 

First of all, make it very very clear that Masculine and Feminine refer nowhere to Male and Female. So, it’s not an article committed to the BIG ‘Men v/s Women’ battle. It goes deeper.  Both forms are completely around us in each and every element. Every man has a feminine heart somewhere and definitely women do are masculine when it comes to their wrath or a strict diet schedule.

Let’s start with our government for example, undoubtedly dictatorship is masculinity in its purest form, strict laws, perhaps the best form till it reaches its pinnacle and tries to destroy every other format that is different form its own. On the other hand, democracy represents the feminine civilization with freedom and rights of speech, wealth and decision-making. You can’t argue if one form is better than the other. If you consider dictatorship as the wrong side, think again. Lord Ram’s Suryavanshi rule was one of the strongest preachers of such a form and it was successful for the next thousands years till the Chandravanshis fought back their way. And much before that, when the ‘Devas’ the GODs followed feminine rule against the masculine ‘Asuras’, Lord Rudra had to abolish it to restore peace.

Well, I personally believe Rashtriya Swayamsevaka Sangh, the big fat gun once RSS, represents the masculine form and the Congress tried to form a feminine govt but it failed. In the kgp context, the academicians are definitely masculine. There is a way which if followed will always ensure success but then the path is a lot more complicated than what we wish, so just the few tough ones, the maggus, actually follow it. Others like me are generous enough to be carried away by the feminine approach.

Definitely, feminine aspect makes you love, appreciate beauty and live a life of passion. But, the right balance is needed to inculcate the discipline that’s where masculinity comes in. So, its just about the right balance, nothing more nothing less.
