Anga realized that a good son creates worldly bondage while a bad son cuts your bondage with the world. Ultimately every one wants peace of mind and happiness. Whatever your relation may be, however strong it is, the moment it starts destroying your image and hence hurting your ego, you will run away from it. When Anga’s own child gave him trouble, he forgot that he got him through a great Yagam. When his expectations were ruined, he could not withstand it.

But Anga’s wisdom helped him here, so he did not waste his time worrying about his incorrigible son. Thus, he diverted his mind to the Lord and discarded all worldly bondages. Thus, a curse became a blessing in disguise!
