Acharya Prashant explains that the duty of a mother is to provide her child with the highest possible elevation at both the physical and mental levels. He defines 'Yajna' in the context of motherhood as the act of sacrificing lower-level desires and objects that the child may find dear, in favor of providing what is truly beneficial and of a higher standard. He emphasizes that a mother must possess the wisdom to distinguish between what is truly good for the child and what is merely a superficial demand. True love involves making arrangements for the child's genuine well-being, even if it means going against social norms or personal attachments. He critiques the current state of parenting, noting that following common social practices has led the world to the brink of destruction. Acharya Prashant suggests that a mother's responsibility is to be original and deeply reflective about what is truly beneficial for her child, rather than following generic parenting tips. He asserts that to be a good mother, one must first be a good human being, which he defines as being self-aware or 'Atmagyani'. He warns against accepting 'normal' behaviors like suffering or violence just because they are common, stating that a mother should be willing to sacrifice the 'normal' for the sake of the child's higher growth. Addressing the nature of the ego, Acharya Prashant clarifies that the ego always exists in relation to something else; there is no such thing as a 'pure ego'. Self-observation involves examining these relationships and the emotions or desires driving them. He concludes by explaining that when one's relationship with the truth is corrected, all other relationships fall into their proper place. This 'correctness' might mean embracing what is superior and discarding what is 'trash' or harmful, even if that means ending certain attachments. A right relationship is one where everything is given its appropriate place based on its true value.
