Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how much importance should be given to parents' views in decision-making. He explains that the individual is the ultimate decider of how much weight to give to any external advice, including his own. He points out that from a young age, individuals are fed external knowledge and societal conventions regarding the importance of parental authority. Instead of providing a ready-made, fixed answer, he suggests that it is far better to rely on one's own faculty of intelligence and listen attentively to what is being said. If a view is worthy, it should be considered; if not, it should be rejected, regardless of the speaker's status. He emphasizes that the question of parental views often arises from a sense of authority rather than love. In a relationship based on love, there is no need for a pre-decided response or a fixed pattern of behavior. Life and real relationships are flexible and liquid, allowing for a variety of responses based on the situation. Acharya Prashant asserts that in a loving relationship, one is free to both obey and disobey. Obedience should come from freedom and love, not from fear or a sense of military-like duty. He encourages an individual-to-individual contact where there is space for intelligence and freedom, rather than following a rigid routine or martial law.
