Men can too, but it’s easier for those in a woman’s body to get in touch with their enlightened essence. Even if she doesn’t understand it on a conceptual level, every woman carries within her the potency of the archetype of Arya Tara. Even if we don’t have the best relationship with our mother, she inevitably served her body, her flesh, milk, and those of her ancestors too, to give us this life. When we think of Tara, we should remember our own mothers in their deepest virtuous potency. Such a manifestation is an attribute of the archetype of the Great Mother: love, compassion, donation, nourishment, altruism, hope, intuitive wisdom, and liberation. When Siddhartha Gautama, in one of his past lives, gave his own flesh to feed a hungry tigress, he was opening in love and dissolving in love to serve the cycles of existence. But just as I have described above the inevitable forces of existence that a woman’s body is made to channel to continue the cycle of life, we can find the same power within our minds and within our hearts. Let us look at what is closer to us in order that we might contemplate the buddha-deity Arya Tara, who at first approach can seem unattainable and sometimes beyond mere concepts. We all carry our mothers milk within our veins. Her body produces sweet, nourishing milk to sustain the new life so that when the child is strong he can run his own way in the world, leaving his mother in prayer.
The eyes of the woman who has just became a mother open in unquestioning love, like a flower opening to the wild sky, inevitably. The female body was made by nature to receive an invisible seed in the fertile inner soil of her womb, fed by juices that only nature knows until finally, at the right time, she spreads her bones in ravishing pain and lets a new being pass into the world like a shooting star. One thing we know for sure: every sentient being developed and came out from a female body.
