The Role of a Parent | Sadhguru

What is the role of a parent in today’s world? Sadhguru reminds us that nobody has ever known the best way to be a parent. However, by spending sufficient time to work on yourself, and by creating an atmosphere of joy, love and openness, you can do your best to help children grow up well.

This is why I respect sadhguru. He thinks beyond the dumb illusion that's been forced on us traditionally, that all parents are all saints, and children only are bad.
Actually, the story of prahlad and narasimha avatar, which our parents told us as a kid, i realized later that it's actually telling us the opposite of tradition, that you can have bad, adharmic parents who give birth to dharmic children. In this situation, lord Vishnu did not take the side of the parent, but the side of the child. We have twisted that in the wrong way and made traditions where we hate the children and idolize the parents.
No baby is born bad, but many adults die bad. Parents are adults, and they give birth to a baby. So whatever goes wrong in the baby is a result of upbringing only. I have seen so many amazing children raised by the most narcissistic, inhumane parents who literally see their child as nothing but a burden and will scold them unnecessarily for absolutely nothing. They use that child as a punching bag. They kill their own child mentally, without physically killing them.
I know this because I was that child. I was silenced to be the "perfect" kid who never talked back and never acted on anything. i never got to truly enjoy my childhood without feeling prejudice or misplaced fear from my parents .
I know it's not always the case, in fact there are kids who are too stubborn and reckless and their parents are so sweet and understanding. I honestly feel so bad for those parents.
Now years later, I'm recovering from the immense number of mental disorders that developed in me as a result of my childhood. And I've been able to move on and find my inner child again thanks to legends like sadhguru 🙏🏼
