Acharya Prashant critiques the common misconception that individuals are completely open or 'naked' before their mothers or wives. He argues that what people share in these relationships is often superficial, emotional, or self-serving, rather than a true revelation of the self. He explains that true nakedness is of the soul, and merely speaking a few words or sharing emotional stories does not constitute being open. Most of what people say is a cultivated lie or a way to protect their own ego. People feel comfortable sharing foolish things with their mothers only because they know their mother's attachment and affection will prevent her from striking at their ego, unlike a father or a teacher who might challenge their ignorance. He further explains that these relationships often lack depth and are confined to mundane, worldly matters like household chores or physical needs. He points out the hypocrisy in claiming to be 'open' while simultaneously fearing that telling the truth might ruin the relationship. True openness, according to Acharya Prashant, only exists where one can share silence, Samadhi, and the divine. He notes that while couples may be physically unclothed, they are rarely truly 'naked' before each other because their connection is limited to the body and mind, never reaching the depth of the soul. Ultimately, he characterizes many 'confessions' made to mothers as acts of exploitation and convenience rather than genuine love or honesty.
