Acharya Prashant addresses the concern that spiritual growth in Advaita changes the traditional parent-child dynamic. He explains that while the old form of a relationship may dissolve, it is replaced by the possibility of a more beautiful and resilient connection. He points out that conventional relationships are often based on mutual binding and lack true honesty or joy. He questions the value of the old relationship if it was rooted in insecurity rather than genuine well-being. He emphasizes that true love focuses on the welfare of the other person rather than demanding obedience. He argues that binding someone leads to resentment and conflict, noting that a large percentage of legal disputes occur within families because members try to control each other. Instead, he advocates for giving freedom, asserting that the more freedom one gives to a loved one, the closer they become. He encourages parents to take pride in their children's independence and ability to make their own decisions. Regarding the perception of parents, Shri Prashant suggests viewing them as fallible human beings rather than idealized deities. He explains that parents make mistakes based on their specific circumstances and limited resources of their time. By treating parents as friends rather than gods, the burden of perfection is removed, allowing for a relationship based on pure love and mutual respect. He concludes that any relationship, whether familial or professional, thrives when it is free from exploitation, imposed expectations, and masks.
