IF YOU HAVE attended his talks or watched his YouTube videos, you will know that Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev (60), has the ability to respond to any question — be it current affairs, spirituality, wellbeing or environment — with an enviable ease and calm. He speaks to Suman K. Jha on the rich and wealth management; economy, CSR, and judicious use of natural resources.
How much wealth should one earn during one’s lifetime?
Wealth is just one of the tools towards human well-being, not the whole of it. Wealth means making our surrounding pleasant for ourselves. But today, in pursuit of wealth creation, we are destroying the very planet upon which we live. Whether you make a safety pin or build a computer, you are digging it out of the planet. Individual human beings and humanity as a whole must decide how much to dig and how much the planet can take. We have to look at how much is sensibly manageable. Instead of thinking of wealth creation, we need to think of creating human well-being!
Do those (who have enough wealth) have a responsibility towards the less well-off?
If you have, you can give and that is wonderful, but you should not talk about making others give. If someone has made money, paid taxes, and comply with the nation’s laws, whether they want to build a cancer hospital or paint themselves gold is their choice.
