It was the most profound dialogue of the episode today. And along with that there is another dialogue some are made of iron, some are made of gold. We need to understand one thing, as we go up in life, as wealth and power come to us unknowingly many chains are also coming to us. Chains of responsibility. It is one of the most unseen chain every human has. We have to be responsible in our actions. Because if we dont become responsible the way wealth and power came, it can go also.
Yes Queens have gold ornaments and fine dresses. But what about their life. Can they move about freely like a peasant's wife. Unfortunately no. They have to maintain public decorum.
Just think about yourself. As a child how free you were. But as a woman are you free. Or as a man are you free. You have duties towards multiple responsibilities. You are a professional, wife ,mother same with a man he is a professional, husband, father. Can he or she break of this chains. No we have to do our duty towards these bandhans.
And if we accept these chains or bandhan's with love and freewill it will be easy for us. But the chains of fear, inaction are the ones that needs to be broken. They should not be tolerated at any cost.
Even while wearing gold, you can face oppression. Shanta, Kausalya who were forced to do the bidding of Sanskriti in the name of tradition. The forceful bandhan patriarichy keeps on women and adding insult to injury calls them Devi.
How many of you realize the chains that needs to be broken and the chains that needs to be accepted. Not many. In wealth and power you dont see the chains because you want the physical comforts. But then at some point the physical comforts cannot emotionally satisfy you and all hell will break lose.
