That's approaching nonduality by the masculine path. Most women, some men, would rather not leave the samskara (sit at the back of the class watching, to use my earlier metaphor) in the first place: so their work is to allow their ferocious identification with ego to loosen, become playful, suffuse with witness-awareness. Rather than the ascetic masculine practices, that feminine route happens by diving into the world: tantric practices, service, bhakti devotions, etc. <BR/><BR/>Kai in NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
