ONE. In OT BGAII 3.33 Srila Prabhupada indicates:
“Even a learned person acts according to the modes acquired from material nature, and everyone follows his/her own nature. What can artificial suppression accomplish?”
TWO. “Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT” 3.33 by Hayagriva:
“Even a man of knowledge acts according to his own nature, for everyone follows his nature. What can repression accomplish?
And THREE. “Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT” 3.33 by Jayadvaita:
“Even a man of knowledge acts according to his own nature, for everyone follows the nature he has acquired from the three modes. What can repression accomplish?”
Srila Prabhupada definitely uses the word person and we ought to stick to “person.” “Man” cannot be a substituted for “person.” According to Srila Prabhupada the male population is inferior to the female population. So by substituting “man” to “person” you are passing from 100 of the population to perhaps 49 or 48 % of the population, and that’s a huge and unacceptable drop.
Besides that both gender, ladies as well as men, are equally under the influence of the modes of material nature and helplessly obey their dictation.
But much more gravely, by substituting “man” to “person”, we are assuming and publicly stating that women lack the intelligence to become learned and that’s a grave, unforgivable and intolerable affront to the fair sex, which will ultimately lead to exploitation and all sorts of other abuses.
And what about BGAII 10.34?
