This is education.All women(except wife) are mother. Where is that education? In this age practically everyone is a mudha, not educated. He does not know how to look upon woman.

Sruta means education. Education means Vedic education, not this electrical education. No, that is not education. Nowadays they have taken education, technology as education. That is not education. If I become an expert electrician, that is not education. Education, panditva, the Canakya Pandita, even in the lower stage of life, ordinary life, he said who is educated, pandita. He said,

matrvat para-daresu
para-dravyesu lostravat
atmavat sarva-bhutesu

yah pasyati sa panditah

This is education. Where is that education? Matrvat para-daresu? All women mother. Where is that education? There is no education. Therefore in this age practically everyone is a mudha, not educated. He does not know how to look upon woman. Woman should be looked as mother. Still in India, a unknown woman should be addressed, "Mother." They have introduced now in the northern India, bahinji (?). No, this was not the etiquette. "Mataji." This is Indian culture, not bahinji (?). This has been introduced now. No. Matra svasra duhitra va [SB 9.19.17]. Woman's connection with man is as mother, as sister or as daughter. No other relationship. This is Indian culture.

matrvat para-daresu
para-dravyesu lostravat
atmavat sarva-bhutesu
yah pasyati sa panditah

This is culture. This is called srauta.
