Acharya Prashant addresses the common parental fear that giving children freedom or 'leeway' will lead them astray. He argues that the majority of children and adults who appear 'spoiled' or troubled are actually products of parents who maintained strict control and constant interference, rather than those who were given freedom. He points out that since only a small percentage of parents give their children true freedom, the widespread issues seen in society cannot be attributed to a lack of discipline. He compares a child to a seed in a forest that can grow into a beautiful tree on its own, whereas an unskilled gardener often ruins the plant. He categorizes parents into three levels: the highest being those who act as spiritual guides (Gurus), the middle being those who recognize their limitations and remain neutral providers without interfering, and the lowest being the majority who arrogantly believe they must shape the child's life according to their own flawed understanding. He suggests that much of what parents call 'help' is actually a form of suppressed violence or an outlet for their own frustrations. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that while parents are needed for physical and financial support, they cannot provide for a child's mental and spiritual development. He advises that true love involves dropping the ego of being the child's 'doer' and instead placing the child in a proper learning environment or Gurukul where they can truly flourish.
