An Example of Noble Character

WOMEN OF PARADISE The universe itself runs on the principle of mutual harmony. Every element in creation performs its function in coordination with others, fully obedient to this order. The same is expected within the family system. Here too, the woman is required to shape her life in harmony with the household’s overall framework. Within this harmony lies the secret to all success and well-being. To maintain the smooth functioning of the home, a woman must also consider the feelings of others along with her own. She must be aware not only of her rights but also her responsibilities. She must honour not just her blood relations but also her in-laws and extended family. And she must do all this with the understanding that she is not bowing to any man or woman, but rather, to the will of the Creator of nature—because this is what the Creator wants. The principle of pairs initially implies that the man is paired with the woman, and the woman with the man. But in broader terms, it encompasses all of life. In its wider application, it means that every man and woman in this world is connected with one another. Life is a system of collective human cooperation. Each man or woman is merely one link in this universal chain. If even one link breaks, the entire chain collapses. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every individual link to maintain its integrity to the highest degree—so that the life system established by nature may not fall into disorder.
