This book provides an exhaustive discussion of sexual harassment, with particular focus on legal aspects as well as the wide spectrum of psychological and social consequences.

Klesh Rahit Jeevan: क्लेश रहित जीवन
by Dada Bhagwanक्या आप जीवन में उठनेवाले विभिन्न क्लेशों से थक चुके हो ? क्या आप हैरान हो कि नित्य नए क्लेश कहाँ से उत्पन्न हो जाते हैं ? क्लेश रहित जीवन के लिए आपको केवल पक्का निश्चय करना है कि आप लोगों के साथ सारा व्यवहार समभाव से निपटाओगे। यह चिंता नहीं करनी कि आप इसमें सफल होंगे या नहीं। केवल दृढ निश्चय करना है। फिर आज या कल, जीवन में शांति आकर ही रहेगी। हो सकता है कि इसमें कुछ साल भी लग जाएँ। क्योंकि आपके बहुत चीकने कर्म हैं। यदि बीवी-बच्चों के साथ बहुत उलझे हुए कर्म हों तो निकाल करने में अधिक समय लग जाता है। करीबी लोगों के साथ उलझने क्रमशः ही समाप्त होती हैं। यदि आप एक बार समभाव से निकाल करने का दृढ निश्चय कर लेंगे तो आपके सभी क्लेशों का अंत आएगा। चिकने कर्मों का निकाल करते वक्त आपको अत्यंत जागृत रहना होगा। साँप चाहे कितना भी छोटा हो, आपको सावधानी रहते हुए आगे बढ़ना होगा। अगर आपने लापरवाही और सुस्ती दिखाई तो इन मामलों को सुलझाने में असफल होंगे। व्यवहार में सभी के साथ समभाव से निकाल करने के दृढ़ निश्चय के बाद, यदि कोई आपको कटु वाणी बोल दे और आपकी भी कटु वाणी निकल जाए, तो आपके बाहरी व्यवहार का कोई महत्व नहीं, क्योकि आपकी घृणा समाप्त हो चुकी है। और आपने समभाव से निकाल का दृढ़ निश्चय कर रखा है। घृणा अहंकार का भाव है और वाणी शरीर का भाव है। अगर आपने समभाव से निकाल करने का दृढ़ निश्चय किया है, तो आप अवश्य सफल होंगे तथा आपके सभी कर्म भी समाप्त होंगे। आज अगर आप किसी का लोन नहीं चुका पाते, तो भविष्य में ज़रूर चुकता कर पाएँगे। आपके ऋण दाता आपसे आखिरकर आपसे उगाही कर ही लेंगे। “प्रतिशोध के सभी भावनाओं से मुक्त होने के लिए आपको परम पूज्य दादाश्री के पास आकर ज्ञान ले लेना चाहिए। मैं आपको इसी जीवन में प्रतिशोध की सभी भावनाओं से मुक्त होने का रास्ता दिखाऊँगा। जीवन से थके हुए लोग मृत्यु क्यों ढूँढते हैं? ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि वे जीवन के इस तनाव का सामना नहीं कर पाते। इतने अधिक दबाव में आप कितने दिन जीवित रह सकते हो ? कीड़े-मकोडों की तरह, आज का मनुष्य निरंतर संताप में है। मनुष्य का जीवन मिलने के बाद किसी को कोई दुःख क्यों हो? सारा संसार संताप में है। और जो संताप में नहीं है, वे काल्पनिक सुखों में खोए हुए है। इन दोनों छोरों के बीच संसार झूल रहा है। आत्मज्ञानी होने के बाद, आप सभी कल्पनाओं और वेदनाओं से मुक्त हो जाओगे।’
