Question: Once you said that women are more susceptible to these dancing girls than men. Why is that?

Sri Chinmoy: Women are more susceptible when they see these beautiful nymphs dancing because they also want to dance in that way to attract the whole world. Most men do not care for the serious type of dancing. It is the feminine aspect that enjoys dancing more, especially in the sense of displaying themselves in a dance. Men can enjoy seeing a dance. They are ready to watch and then criticise. But women will be happier if they dance themselves. Usually the feminine aspect of life gives an immediate response to anything that is connected with the moon. The masculine aspect gives an immediate response to the sun. The sun deals with beauty in a dynamic, powerful form. The moon deals with beauty in a delicate, subtle form.
