The feminine is more insightful and more self-critical within than the man. If we speak of one individual, let us say a man, then what is the thing within him that causes him to really look at himself and be self-critical and to examine himself before he gets off on the wrong road or a corrupt direction? This is the feminine part of him. Historically, this has been largely overlooked by people and, therefore, there has been much corruption in the world. The point is: corruption comes from the breakdown of man’s relationship with woman. Man is trying to be complete without woman. So when man tries to act as if he is complete, he is insecure. Especially after he becomes powerful. He cannot face the issue. And that is why women have suffered, people under him suffer, and he suffers somewhere deep within himself. Even God suffers to see this. When you see this actual weakness of men, you will probably feel compassion or sadness to see them rather than fear or distance or revulsion.
People don’t intend to be corrupt. But when there is incompleteness that believes it is complete, corruption invariably follows. When a man is incomplete, but by the nature of his position or worldly power he wants to believe he is complete, and then he acts as if he is complete, and then he acts as if he is complete and covers his incompleteness, this is there corruption is born. But as a man grows, again, to cover his insecurities, his feelings of inadequacy, his weakness, he tries to put on the clothing of a complete person. And if this is taken to an extreme, especially if this man achieves power over other people, because he can only depend on his external position to give him a feeling of security, he will do anything to hold on to it, including oppression of others and other similar things.
