“Methinks Ramakrishna Paramahansa got it all wrong. He was always cautioning against associating with women, or for that matter even getting married, because he was convinced that sexual activity somehow beclouds the mind and curtains out the Truth from one. But, in my opinion, the problem in associating with women is something entirely different. It is that they are too rooted to the earth, rooted in their family and children, and too emotional that they cannot accompany you on your metaphysical flights of cogitation and imagination, and will try their best to keep you also grounded.”–D.
