Swami replied:- First you accept the existence of the domination of males in this world over females. But remember that all human beings are only females. The Lord is the only male. The Veda says that Lord Narayana is the only male. The male domination seen in this world is only a representation of the domination of the Lord over all the human beings. Two ladies acted in a drama. One lady acted as Rama and the other lady acted as Sita. Sita served Rama in the drama. Sita represents all the human beings and Rama represents the one Lord. The Veda says that all men are not only women, but also His wives. Meera asked Tulasidas whether there is any male among human beings. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa wore the dress of a Gopika for one month in Brindavanam. The male sages were reborn as the female Gopikas to get rid of their male-egoism.
You must have seen the images of Kali dancing on Lord Shiva. Then, is it not female domination? The inner meaning of this is that Kali being a lady represents a human devotee. Shiva represents the Lord. When the devotee wins the heart of the Lord through selfless love, the Lord becomes a servant of the devotee. The Lord keeps the feet of the devotee on Him. This represents the extraordinary love of God for the devotee. Without understanding this, if you think of the domination of male and female over each other, you have lost the internal significance of all the scriptures.
