Acharya Prashant addresses the common belief that parents are infallible or divine figures, explaining that everyone is inherently driven by self-interest and ignorance unless they have attained consciousness. He argues that if an individual is selfish and ignorant before becoming a parent, they do not miraculously become selfless or wise upon having children. Therefore, parents can be just as unconscious and prone to giving harmful advice as anyone else. He emphasizes that being a parent does not automatically grant wisdom, and a child who questions their parents' decisions is often unfairly labeled as rebellious simply because they are no longer under their parents' control.
