Acharya Prashant responds to a questioner who feels dishonest for hiding his spiritual interests from his family out of fear, yet partakes in other activities like drinking with them. The questioner asks how to rebel against his family's ignorance. Acharya Prashant explains that rebellion and revolt do not necessarily have to match the common image of a clenched fist and a raised hand. A far greater rebellion is to see a family member, who may be older in age but is smaller in consciousness, as a child and to metaphorically take them in your lap. This is the great rebellion. One does not clench a fist at a small child. If family members do not understand Vedanta, they are like small children, and one should not get angry at them. A child can do anything, and one should not be deceived by their physical size but see their level of consciousness. Talk to them with even more love; this is the real rebellion. To illustrate this, Acharya Prashant gives the example of Jesus Christ, who, while being crucified, said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." He also quotes a couplet by Rahim, which says that forgiveness befits the great, while mischief befits the small, and asks what Lord Vishnu lost when the sage Bhrigu kicked him. Similarly, when someone spat on the Buddha, he did not react because he saw the person as a child. This compassionate approach, however, must not stem from fear but from genuine compassion. If there is fear, it means you are still dependent on them and cannot see them as a child. The relationship must change internally: where they were once the parent and you the child, now you become the parent, and they the child. They gave you life; you must give them light. This is how you repay the ancestral debt. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that all wise people are like pediatricians, and spirituality is the practice of pediatrics—treating the diseases of children. A true human being is one who sees the consciousness behind the physical form, unlike an animal that only sees the body. He refers to the story of Ashtavakra, who called the scholars in King Janak's court 'leather-workers' (charmkar) because they only saw his skin (charm) and his physical deformities. Therefore, one should not be deceived by anyone's physical appearance or age but should see their level of consciousness. This is the way for a human to live.
