“If the son starts to come out of the sea of mundane life, the parents will try to pull him back and put him in the dungeon of family life. This is how parents teach their children. Parents will never help one to be free and attain liberation. They will only try to expand your attachments. To merge the child into the ocean of worldliness is the task of parents, while the duty of the Guru is to free one from the worldly life.”
