Description

Acharya Prashant discusses the detrimental effects of infantilizing young adults, noting that calling individuals in their twenties or thirties "children" is a social conspiracy that prevents them from developing inner strength and responsibility. He observes that many parents, due to their own wealth or possessiveness, discourage their children from seeking employment or facing the world's challenges, effectively keeping them soft rather than allowing them to become resilient. He contrasts this modern dependency with the lives of Shri Bhagat Singh and Shri Chandrashekhar Azad, who displayed immense courage and maturity in their early twenties. He asserts that if a young person remains weak and dependent, they give their parents a reason to treat them like children; therefore, one must demonstrate maturity and self-respect to earn independence. Acharya Prashant clarifies that true freedom and being established in the ultimate truth are internal states of consciousness rather than external conditions like marriage or living away from home. He explains that a person can be married and still be spiritually independent if they are established in the truth, just as one can be single but still deeply entangled in worldly attachments. He critiques the use of diminishing terms like "baby" in relationships, arguing that such language reduces a mature human being to a mere physical object and stunts their spiritual growth. He encourages young people to stop blaming their circumstances or parents and to take charge of their own lives through self-effort, emphasizing that the goal of life is to expand one's consciousness toward the infinite.
