Acharya Prashant explains that the question is not whether staying at home is good or bad, but rather what one's purpose is. He illustrates this with an analogy: a student's purpose is to attend class, so even though staying home isn't inherently bad, it would be wrong for the student to do so during class time. Similarly, just as one has a purpose for being on a campus, one has a purpose for being on this Earth. He notes that while people understand their duties within a campus, they often lack the education about their duties on Earth, which leads them to question what is wrong with simply staying at home. He clarifies that if one is doing something at home that adds beauty to their life and brings liberation, then it is perfectly fine. The issue is not about sitting at home, but what one does while there. He points out that, with a few exceptions, most people who stay at home, particularly women, have had their level of consciousness degraded. He suggests that advertisements targeted at women often assume a very low IQ, a consequence of confining them to the home to do nothing but make flatbreads. Now, with a developing economy, even that work is often outsourced. He challenges the notion that someone must do household chores by retorting that someone must also sweep or be a ward boy, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't aspire to become a doctor. The goal is to strive for the highest possible work. Acharya Prashant further explains that technology, like washing machines, exists to free up time for more important, higher-order work. He then connects this to parenting, stating that for a mother to raise a child well, her own level of consciousness must be high. If a mother knows little of the world and is only engaged in household chores, she cannot provide a good upbringing. He highlights the paradox where every parent claims to provide a great upbringing, yet also complains that the younger generation is ruined, failing to see their own role in it. He concludes that a mother with a repressed personality and no inner light cannot raise a child well; her constant presence can be more harmful than beneficial.
