Why are the world's wisest single?
Hello!
Have you ever pondered on these enigmas?
Think of:
The Great Founders:-
Jesus - The deemed founder of Christianity - Most followers in the world
Buddha - He became enlightened only after abandoning his family - Second largest followers in the world
Mahaveer - The Jain messiah
Zarathushtra - The Parsi messiah
The exception is Prophet Muhammad.
The Indian sages:-
Sankaracharya
Osho
J Krishnamurthy
Ramana Maharishi
Vivekananda
Ramakrishna Paramhansa
Satya Sai Baba
Shirdi Sai Baba
Sukhbodhananda
The list goes on....
In the history of mankind no female has ever been considered "Enlightened"?! Why?
Does that mean "Marriage" is detrimental to "Enlightenment"?
And women are not capable of becoming "enlightened"?
Think it over.....
Have a nice day.

Simply cause men need to be enlightened - while women have always known the answers that trouble men...
women are like nature mysterious & holding all the answers within them...
while men are men they need to spend years to find one answer & still only a very few are able to do that...

Hi!
V. good reply :D :D
Anyway my question was not about gender difference. I simply was thinking aloud about whether it is necessary to be single to be enlightened.
Still.....
Then why do women become devotess and followers of these Guys by millions?
If women are wiser then why are there no women Founders of religions?
All classical artists,scientists,authors etc. etc. - be it any field - are guys!!!
Why? Why?

Yep. A very vast brutal Majority. Through the ages....
My idea was not to provoke but to initiate an unemotional debate in the best spirit of logical enquiry.
May be certain truths will be revealed in the process.
Pls. do not take it otherwise...
Happy pondering...

Discussion thread on why Google says "did you mean 'he invented'..
You can read the whole thread here:

Google "She invented" Result Did you mean "He invented" (google.com)

Important note: Google's spell-checker works (I believe) by tracking how often people search for any given word. So if there are five zillion searches for "food" and very few for "fooc" or "foof", it will present "Did you mean food?" as an option.
This result doesn't mean that Google thinks only men invent things. Google doesn't care; it's just an algorithm. This results suggests that a lot of people search for "he invented" and far fewer search for "she invented".
If there's sexism or misogyny here, it's in people's searches, not in Google.

a lot of people search for "he invented" and far fewer search for "she invented".
So how do you excuse the suggestion to she discovered Radium, a query which should be at least as popular as its counterpart?

That is interesting:
she discovered radium - 159,000 hits, and "he" is suggested as an alternative
he discovered radium - 267,000 hits
However, if you search for a quoted phrase:
"she discovered radium" - 476 hits, and "he discovered radium" is suggested
"he discovered radium" - 7 hits
So, spelling correction is not purely triggered on the basis of popularity in the index.

I'll take a guess. I wonder if this doesn't have something to do with the algorithm for the 'Did You Mean' function, which is separate from the Google search algorithm.
Even with quotations, Google seems to have written its algorithm so that the occurrence of "Did you mean" is dependent on the first argument (she) and the predicate (discovered), not on the second argument (radium). The second argument is ignored. We know that a woman discovered radium (period), but a man may have discovered radium in country X, for example, or "discovered Radium would transmute into Radon...". Although the algorithm may ignore the second argument, it is the second argument that increases the occurrences of 'he' + 'discovered' over 'she'+'discovered.' And this is all that the "did you mean" algorithm cares about.
There may be more hits for "she discovered radium," but hits depend on a separate algorithm. I suppose it could have its advantages, but it's certainly not perfect.

You know woman are all things &we can say the world always in the hand of woman .She is good in all way for example:
1. she is excellent in the role of mother,sister,grandmother,wife and she only who teach his/her son or daughter to how we pray
what is culture,
what is tradition .
2. she is manage very well house & office
she is actually very good religious its other issue if she not famous so much so whatttttttt.

Hello! Shanti,
Let me reiterate my query:
Is it mandatory to be single in order to get enlightened?
I am not talkig about creative people,intelligent people etc.
It is not about men vs women either. I am just asking "Does one have to be single in order to achieve enlightenment?" Period.
Somebody had mentioned Mirabai and Mother Teresa. Here again Mirabai ignored her husband,separated from him and prayed for Krishna's love.
Mother Teresa was single.
Joan of Arc never married. Also Teresa of Avilla and scores of Women Saints too. They were all singles.
Gautama Siddhartha left his wife and new-born son and wandered around for years before finally achieving Buddhahood.
In fact in Hindu puranas there are countless instances where beautiful apsaras try to disturb sages from reaching Nirvana.
So the conclusion is having a relationship or remaining married is an impediment to Buddhahood, right?
I have never heard of a couple together achieving enlightenment or a group doing the same.
So once again - My question is:
Do you have to be single to become enlightened?
Conclusion: Marriage or companionship is not conducive to becoming Wise!!!
