At a time when women were expected to conform to societal norms - and this condition has not changed till these days for both women and men - Mirabai broke free and lived a life of devotion and self-expression.
Just read these three lines and you will immediately feel Mirabai’s spirit:
“I have felt the swaying of the elephant's shoulders;
and now you want me to climb
on a jackass? Try to be serious.”
