Acharya Prashant explains that parents often fail to truly see their children because they view them through the lens of attachment, labels, and relationships. He provides contrasting examples of the fathers of Shri Buddha and Duryodhana. Shri Buddha's father could only see a son who had abandoned his royal duties, failing to recognize his spiritual greatness, while Duryodhana's father, Dhritarashtra, remained blind to his son's wickedness due to blind affection. This attachment prevents parents from seeing the reality of their child's character, leading to tragedies where greatness is insulted or evil is indulged.
