Acharya Prashant addresses a question about a mother who blames her child for her unfulfilled desires. He begins by stating a universal truth: no one's desires are ever completely fulfilled. However, people are often not wise or honest enough to see and accept this fact. Instead, they believe their desires could have been fulfilled if not for some external reason or person. They look for someone to blame, a scapegoat on whose head they can dump all their garbage. He gives an example of a wife telling her husband, "I would have found a prince, but my father got me stuck with you." This tendency to blame is rooted in a misunderstanding of desire itself. The very nature of desire is incompleteness. To get caught in desire is the first foolishness, an invitation to suffering. When that suffering arises, people then blame someone else for it. This is a cycle that perpetuates throughout the world. Children are born out of their parents' desires, and then the parents turn around and say, "Because of you, our desires were not fulfilled." The speaker rhetorically asks such parents, "If your desire had not been fulfilled, where would we have come from? Did we fall from the sky? We are the living proof of your desire." This cycle of complaints continues from generation to generation, with everyone passing their unfulfilled desires onto the next. Acharya Prashant explains that parents often impose their own unfulfilled wishes on their children, such as wanting them to become a collector because they themselves remained a clerk, or wanting them to pass an exam they couldn't. All their unfulfilled wishes are placed on the child. He then defines what it means to be a true parent and a true child. A true parent is not just one who gives physical birth, but one who also gives mental birth by helping the child become mentally healthy and self-reliant. A true child is one who, with a healthy mind, matures quickly and becomes a friend to their parents, not someone who remains a dependent child even at the age of forty. He further clarifies that if parents don't trust their children, it's often because the children have given them reasons not to, by making mistakes and proving themselves incapable. The first step is for the child to become a capable and mature individual. When you have faith in yourself and your own capabilities, you won't be as affected by what others say. You can then approach your parents with love and understanding, recognizing that their complaints stem from their own suffering and unfulfilled desires. This understanding and your own maturity can help break the cycle.
