Acharya Prashant addresses the common experience of facing opposition from family members when one embarks on a spiritual path. He explains that parents and relatives often react with fear or anger because they perceive a loss of control. When an individual is driven by worldly desires or vices, they can be easily manipulated or 'reined in' through those very tendencies. However, as one moves toward truth and spiritual gatherings, their internal tendencies weaken, making them independent and beyond the control of others. This independence is often mistaken for madness or irresponsibility by those who only understand life through the lens of attachment and physical relationships.
