Draupadi had often said "We women are better acquainted with our feelings that you men can ever be...you get into recurring conflicts because you are unable to choose between the mind and the heart while we willingly let our hearts rule over our minds"
"Tell me Sakha does something called mind really exist? Isn't it peculiar that this one specific part of our anatomy should rule our entire life, our past and also our future? It is not as if we women don't befriend our minds...we store many secrets in there but is up to us whether we dance to its tunes or make it dance to ours...But not men, you get possessed by your mind. You gauge every situation clinically and take a call...That is why men and women never think alike!"
"But thoughts don't follow any specific direction, so how do you control them? Krishna asked Draupadi.
"Sakha, a mother bears five sons of different temperaments, but does that deter her from relating to all..? They exhibit different behavior patterns and emotional quotients but they stand equal in the eyes of the mother. In the same way I am able to synchronize my varied though processes."
For me the above conversation shows that Krishna considered Draupadi his equal. They met as equals and talked as equals. He has great respect for her thoughts and opinions. They were friends in the true sense of the word.
On a lighter note, maybe the above conversation was the inspiration for the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus." Men think with their minds and women think with their hearts.😃
