Acharya Prashant explains that expectations, whether from parents or oneself, stem from a deep-seated sense of incompleteness and a feeling that something is missing from life. This inner lack of fulfillment leads individuals to seek external solutions, which he describes as fake treatments for a real disease. He emphasizes that every human being experiences this sense of lack and deserves true fulfillment. When parents expect their children to follow specific career paths like engineering or medicine, they are often seeking a false treatment for their own inner void. Acharya Prashant asserts that real love for one's parents involves providing the real treatment rather than succumbing to their illusions. He argues that if one truly loves their parents, they must have the courage and a clean heart to bring the truth to them, even if it is uncomfortable or hurts their egos. Allowing parents to persist in their illusions is a sign of a lack of deep love. Furthermore, he distinguishes between actions born out of misery and those born out of joy. While most people act because they feel incomplete, he suggests that action can also arise from a state of playfulness and inner completion, where one acts simply because they feel joyful and energetic, rather than to achieve a goal or fill a gap.
