辨喜在一次专题会议上讨论了东方女性的现状与未来。他说："衡量一个民族进步程度的最佳温度计，就是它对女性的待遇。在古希腊，男女之间的地位绝对没有差别。完全平等的观念是存在的。任何印度教徒在结婚之前都不能成为祭司，其理念是独身男子只是半个人，是不完整的。完美女性的理想就是完全的独立。现代印度教妇女生活的核心理念是她的贞操。妻子是一个圆的中心，这个圆的稳固取决于她的贞操。正是这一理念走向极端，才导致了印度教寡妇殉葬的习俗。印度教女性非常具有灵性且非常虔诚，或许比世界上任何其他女性都更为如此。如果我们能够保持这些美好的特质，同时发展我们女性的智力，未来的印度教女性将成为世界上理想的女性。"

Swami Vivekananda, at a special meeting, discussed the present and future of the women of the East. He said, "The best thermometer to the progress of a nation is its treatment of its women. In ancient Greece there was absolutely no difference in the state of man and woman. The idea of perfect equality existed. No Hindu can be a priest until he is married, the idea being that a single man is only half a man, and imperfect. The idea of perfect womanhood is perfect independence. The central idea of the life of a modern Hindu lady is her chastity. The wife is the centre of a circle, the fixity of which depends upon her chastity. It was the extreme of this idea which caused Hindu widows to be burnt. The Hindu women are very spiritual and very religious, perhaps more so than any other women in the world. If we can preserve these beautiful characteristics and at the same time develop the intellects of our women, the Hindu woman of the future will be the ideal woman of the world."
