Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the common grievance of why parents do not understand their children, explaining that this lack of understanding is not specific to parents but is a universal human condition. He asserts that the human mind, conditioned by thoughts, beliefs, and planetary influences, is generally incapable of true understanding. Becoming a parent is a biological process that does not automatically grant divine wisdom or special insight; parents remain ordinary human beings subject to the same mental limitations and ignorance as everyone else. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect them to possess a higher level of understanding simply because of their role. Regarding the sense of obligation children feel toward their parents for their upbringing and financial support, Acharya Prashant provides a balanced perspective. While he acknowledges that it is a mark of a good human being to repay the care and resources invested in them, he cautions against viewing this relationship as a commercial transaction or a burden of debt. He points out that children do not ask to be born or to have money spent on them; parents often fulfill these roles for their own joy and satisfaction. He emphasizes that life is not a debt and that true support for parents can only come when an individual focuses on their own growth and capability first. One should act out of love rather than a sense of being burdened by a favor.
