Acharya Prashant explains that our actual needs are not very extensive. He suggests that what we often call our needs are, in fact, something else. He illustrates this by estimating that a student's average monthly expense is around five thousand rupees, a figure that remains stable until graduation. However, upon getting a job, the same person might complain that a salary of sixteen thousand is insufficient to meet their needs. The speaker questions how one's needs could triple in a single month, humorously asking if it's greed that has increased, not needs. He asks if one starts eating three times as much or wearing three pairs of pants at once. The speaker clarifies that the desire for more money is not for fulfilling basic necessities but for social status and fulfilling dreams. He points to the social pressure to tell family about a high salary or to book a flat at a young age, which are then mislabeled as 'needs'. To meet these manufactured desires, people end up selling themselves and being exploited by the world. He quotes a movie dialogue, "My needs are few, that's why my conscience has strength," to emphasize that as one's perceived needs grow, one becomes more saleable and compromises their integrity. This greed, he explains, leads to corruption. People take bribes to fund their dreams, such as providing expensive education for their children, often at the cost of public welfare. He criticizes the justification of corruption in the name of 'needs'. He also highlights the absurdity of societal standards, such as matrimonial ads that prioritize high salaries and superficial qualities, which perpetuates this cycle of greed. He mentions how people move to big cities to become 'big shots', only to get trapped in a life of misery, fulfilling dreams that are not their own. Acharya Prashant advises living a life free from these delusions. He suggests that if one removes three major illusory expenses—a luxurious house, expensive education for children, and saving for old-age illnesses—life can be lived freely and peacefully with very little money. He urges everyone to honestly assess their true needs, assuring them that whatever they earn will be more than enough to live comfortably and even have a surplus. He concludes that one must understand the whole game of how society sells dreams and creates false needs.
