What is the significance of women embodying fierce aspects like Bhairavi, Chandi, Durga, and Kali?

When women embody fierce aspects like Bhairavi and Kali, it is not their essence but a compassionate intelligence born from survival; true healing lies in granting them equality, so that fierceness is no longer their necessary armor.

— Osho
According to Osho, when women embody fierce forms like Bhairavi, Chandi, Durga, and Kali, it is a compassionate intelligence of self-defense born from centuries of male oppression. Lacking brute force, they developed subtle, formidable strategies to survive. These energies are not their essence but adaptations; true healing requires granting women real equality so fierceness need not be their protective posture.

Women became fierce like goddesses to protect themselves from long mistreatment; give real equality so they don’t need that armor.
