Acharya Prashant discusses the complex relationship between parents and children, emphasizing that while parents have a significant and honorable place in a child's life, they do not have the right to claim ownership over their child's mind or soul. He critiques parents who treat their children as property, asserting that they only gave birth to the body, not the soul. However, he simultaneously maintains a firm stance against children who lack respect or gratitude for their parents. He highlights that while children often focus on what they did not receive, they overlook the immense protection and nourishment provided by their parents, such as life-saving vaccinations and physical care during childhood. He explains that the physical body, which allows for communication and spiritual practice, is a gift from one's parents. While parents provide the physical foundation, the responsibility for spiritual liberation lies with the individual. Acharya Prashant points out the imbalance in how children perceive their parents' contributions, noting that children often forget the years of support they received while holding onto minor grievances. He argues that parents are ordinary human beings prone to errors, and their mistakes are rarely intentional. He concludes by advising that if children have gained spiritual maturity, they should treat their parents with the same patience and affection that parents once showed them, rather than being complainers or behaving disrespectfully.
