Acharya Prashant responds to a question about how to raise children to be good citizens and well-settled in life. He begins by humorously noting that the questioner is asking for a way to do something that shouldn't be done. He observes that it is the wish of every parent in India, and indeed the world, to provide an upbringing where their children grow up and get settled. He ironically states that the person being asked, himself, has never settled, so he cannot teach the method for settling children. The speaker points out the underlying assumption in the question, which is, "I am fine, just tell me what to do with my children." He explains that the environment at home, which is crucial for a child's upbringing, is created by the parents themselves. The home's atmosphere will be a reflection of who the parents are, and the children will, in turn, become like that environment. Therefore, to raise children correctly, the question must first be about oneself. If a parent is content with how they have settled their own life, they should simply guide their children to do the same, without needing his advice. Acharya Prashant argues that if parents do not want their children to live the same life they did, their first question should be about their own life: "Acharya ji, tell me where I went wrong in the way I lived." He warns that if parents do not recognize their own shortcomings, their children are cursed to repeat the same mistakes. Parents who genuinely want the best for their children must first look at their own lives. He emphasizes that children learn very little from words but a great deal from the lives their parents lead. A life of freedom and courage provides a beautiful lesson, whereas a life of fear, focused on quickly building a nest to hide in, teaches the same to the children. He further deconstructs the idea of "settlement," defining it as an end or a final stop. He questions whether anyone has truly reached life's ultimate destination, and if not, how can they be settled? To stop before reaching the destination is a mistake. He uses the analogy of a river that starts from the Himalayas, destined for the ocean, but gets settled in a desert or a swamp. Deep down, he says, every settled person knows they have settled in the wrong place. Life's journey should continue until the destination is reached.
