In response to a question about whether the corporate world can be a medium for developing wisdom due to its emphasis on excellence, Acharya Prashant explains that while one can learn certain practical skills there, the crucial question is what these skills are ultimately used for. He acknowledges that one can learn to be productive, disciplined, and work within given specifications in a corporate environment. However, he points out that these skills are often acquired within a few years, and their primary use becomes earning money. The fundamental question remains: what is the purpose of the work being done with such excellence? Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the direction of one's actions ('what' one is doing) is far more important than the skill with which they are performed ('how' one is doing it). He uses the analogy of Duryodhana, who practiced diligently to become excellent with his mace, but his purpose was wrong. Similarly, one can be a great leader, but it matters where one is leading people. He states that if the work itself is right, it will naturally compel a person to perform it with skill and excellence. Conversely, if the work is not right, performing it with great skill is even more dangerous. He gives examples like selling fizzy drinks or running a slaughterhouse with great competence and efficiency. The speaker further elaborates that the world places a high value on such competence and will bid heavily for skilled individuals, often to serve purposes that are not righteous. This makes it even more difficult for a competent person to dedicate their skills to a higher purpose, symbolized by Shri Krishna. He notes that the world's most competent people are often in the service of the 'devil' because the devil offers the highest price. The ideal, he concludes, is the combination seen in the Gita: a person who is both competent (like Arjun) and aligned with Truth (with Krishna). When these two are together, true prosperity and joy are achieved. The problem is not the lack of Truth (Krishna), but the lack of competent individuals (Arjuns) willing to serve it.
