Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of parents demanding a return on the financial investment they made in their child. He advises distinguishing between a relationship of love and one of business. When parents speak in the language of business and recovery ('vasooli'), he suggests responding in kind by asking to see the contract. Business operates on contracts, and if there was no signed agreement to repay the investment with interest, there is no such obligation. He clarifies that love does not involve contracts or demands for repayment. If the parents' investment was an act of love, they should not ask for it back. The moment recovery is mentioned, the relationship becomes transactional, not loving. He suggests a response: "I will serve you out of love when I am able, but if you speak of recovery, show me the legal contract where I consented to these terms." He humorously adds that if they feel their investment has gone bad, they should have maintained a diversified portfolio. Acharya Prashant delves deeper, challenging the myth that love between parents and children is automatic. He states that giving birth is a physical event and does not guarantee love. Love, he explains, is a high state of consciousness that must be learned with great effort; it is not a cheap or blind emotion. He asserts that most people, being unawakened, cannot truly love, and what is often mistaken for love is merely attraction or maternal affection ('mamta'). He claims that children are often born out of animality ('pashvikta'), not love. He offers practical advice: acknowledge the financial support as a debt. Without mortgaging one's own freedom, one should try to repay it. He advises keeping personal expenses minimal and sending the rest home, treating it as a loan repayment since the relationship was not based on love. He concludes by warning parents against this transactional approach, calling it cruelty, and notes that many family disputes and even honor killings are rooted in financial matters and a sense of ownership, not love.
