Acharya Prashant begins by quoting a dialogue from the film 'Singham': "My needs are few, that's why my conscience has strength." He explains that the more a person's needs increase, the more they will be for sale, becoming completely purchasable. This is why so many people who take bribes, whether in government or private jobs or as businessmen, have sold themselves. They do this to fulfill their dreams. He illustrates this by saying that when he sees a large pothole on the road, he thinks of it as an MBBS degree, implying the money for the road was used to fund a medical education. Similarly, a biker who has fallen due to such a pothole represents an M.Tech degree, a death on the road because someone else fulfilled their dreams. The speaker challenges the notion that people engage in corruption out of necessity. He questions whether the money spent on expensive education, which can cost 10-15 lakhs, comes from a genuine need. People justify taking bribes by calling it a 'need,' but he asks if decking one's wife in jewelry is a need. He asserts that this is not a need but greed and dishonesty. He uses the example of shirts, which are available for 500 or 5000 rupees, noting that the cheaper one is often better. It is up to the individual to decide what they call a need. Many people believe they need a salary of at least one lakh per month to buy a shirt, but he questions which shirt they are referring to, implying the expensive one. He advises to honestly assess what one truly needs, because whatever one earns is not free. Whoever gives you money will suck your blood in return. When you think of earning more, you must remember that no businessman will give you money for free. If they give you 20,000, they will earn 1 lakh from you. One must be prepared to toil and sacrifice their life for it. He describes the late-night traffic jams in cities like Gurgaon, where bikers are stuck between large trucks, inhaling exhaust fumes. They are fulfilling their 'needs' after their boss let them go late at night, having sucked their blood in exchange for a small incentive. For that small amount, the person is burning their blood and inhaling smoke, while their father in the village proudly proclaims that his son works in an MNC.
