Acharya Prashant explains that parents often fail to see their children as they truly are because they view them through the lens of attachment and biological relationships. He uses the examples of the fathers of Shri Buddha and Duryodhana to illustrate this. Shri Buddha's father could only see him as a son who 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. He emphasizes that children should be viewed as human beings rather than just 'children,' noting that a child's mental development is largely complete by age six or seven, making them 'mini-adults' who deserve to be treated with maturity. He further discusses how social conditioning and 'closed circuits' within families reinforce false perceptions. Family members often validate each other's biases, leading to a shock when the outside world reveals a different reality about a loved one. Acharya Prashant suggests that to truly understand someone, one must look at them independently or at least consider how the world perceives them, as outsiders often have a more objective view. He points out that even in scriptures, mothers like Yashoda saw Shri Krishna as a mere child despite his divine nature, showing how maternal attachment can overshadow spiritual reality. Finally, he distinguishes between attachment and love, stating that attachment is more about the self and the sense of 'mine' than the other person. He shares an anecdote about parents who were terrified to tell their adopted son the truth about his birth, only for the boy to react with indifference because he was not burdened by their emotional drama. He concludes that while parents are often gripped by emotional turmoil and attachment, children are not necessarily bound by the same delusions, and it is the parents' own 'moha' (attachment) that creates unnecessary suffering.
