What is my duty towards my parents?
Question
I was a student of this institute and I used to feel very happy because the education here was all about questioning. So we questioned everything, all the belief systems. So as a result the students grow up to be very self-reliant and they know themselves well. But what happens is that they grow distant from their family because of the difference in the belief system. So we may become very confident individuals but what happens is that we become alien to our parents, we don’t fulfill their expectations. So what do you think? There’s a role as a daughter or son to be fulfilled. And there’s a role as an individual as well. So how do we get that balance?
