Acharya Prashant explains that the father's behavior in the narrated incident, where he encourages his daughter's use of abusive language, likely stems from his own unfulfilled desires. In his own generation, the father might have wanted to behave similarly but was constrained by the social environment. Now, his daughter is fulfilling those suppressed desires, which is why he is happy and encourages her. This behavior is a symptom of a tremendous internal hollowness that has been passed down through generations. This hollowness is not unique to the current generation but is a legacy from their predecessors. The speaker points to a significant decline in great personalities in India after 1947, questioning what happened to them. He argues that if one were to list notable Indians from the last century, ninety percent would be from the pre-1950 era. He attributes this decline to the materialization of education and the complete removal of spirituality from the curriculum in the name of secularism. After independence, sages, saints, shlokas, and dohas were taken out of education, leaving subsequent generations spiritually void. The children in the restaurant are products of this system, and he does not blame them much as they know nothing else. Acharya Prashant criticizes the modern notion of parents being 'friends' with their children. He questions that if parents become friends, who will fulfill the role of a parent, guide, or teacher? He contrasts this with the friendship between Shri Krishna and Arjun, where Krishna, as a friend, also acts as a guru, delivering the Gita's sermon when Arjun is in the wrong. The modern idea of a 'friendly guru' is a demand to bring the guru down to one's level, which renders him useless. The father in the incident, unable to be friendly with his wife, is now being 'friendly' with his young daughter, which is a misinterpretation of the relationship. This degradation is linked to the state of culture, which has fallen into the wrong hands, such as films and web-based media. The easy availability of data and mobile phones has led to the widespread consumption of low-quality content, causing a tremendous internal decline. This rot has been ongoing for the last 60-70 years and is now manifesting explosively in the current generation. The speaker concludes that the destruction is so deep and widespread that it may be irreversible. He emphasizes that parents have a duty to be guardians, not just friends, but the education system and society have failed to provide the necessary spiritual foundation.
