He, however, warned the audience that a need becomes greed when it goes against dharma.
"You want to accomplish something. You are a go-getter. Go and get it! This is a need. Therefore go ahead. But when you indulge in unfair means, that will be going against the mandate of god and is wrong," he said.
He then rounded off the lecture with a word on crisis management. "We in India are an amazingly non-competitive society. The modern day demands have ushered in a very competitive environment."
"So there will be a crisis now and then. Who doesn't have a crisis? Only a crisis helps you discover the strength in you. It is how you approach it. At the end of the day, poverty is not about being without money. Real poverty is the poverty of the mind, poverty of the heart," he said.
