And let us not forget that we all have a male and female aspect in us, so not only does surrounding mother nature proves him wrong, but his inner feminine principle does so too from the inside.

"Therefore, put aside the intellectual practice of investigating words and chasing phrases, and learn to take the backward step that turns the light and shines it inward. Body and mind of themselves will drop away, and your original face will manifest. If you want to realize such, get to work on such right now."
