Acharya Prashant explains that the upbringing of children depends entirely on the state of the parents. He emphasizes that whether parents provide or withdraw facilities, their own character and spiritual standing are what truly influence the child. If parents act merely as biological figures without self-improvement, their words will lack impact. A child's life should be such that they learn simply by observing the parents' conduct. He points out that children are highly perceptive and often witness the conflicts and hypocrisies of their parents, which leaves a lasting negative impression. Therefore, the primary responsibility of a parent is to work on their own self-construction and become a source of light and stability for the child. Addressing the topic of natural instincts and social taboos, Acharya Prashant clarifies that there is nothing inherently dirty about biological processes like reproduction. He argues that nature does not view these acts as shameful; rather, human beings have created a sense of guilt because they try to fill their inner emptiness with lust instead of divinity. He explains that what is often called 'love' in society is usually just a biological reaction or a social conditioning based on pre-determined images and chemical impulses. True love, he asserts, is related to the divine and transcends both social constructs and natural instincts. He concludes by stating that the world offers both the path to bondage and the path to liberation, and it is an individual's responsibility to choose wisely.
