Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is not greedy by birth; rather, greed is conditioned into it. While a child is born with the potential for greed, it is the environment and circumstances that cultivate this trait. He quotes Kabir Saheb to illustrate that the mind is naturally greedy, lazy, and foolish, but emphasizes that this is not a curse. Greed arises from a sense of lack or incompleteness. This feeling of deficiency is forced upon children through education and upbringing, which teach them that they are currently unworthy of respect or love. They are told that fulfillment can only be achieved in the future through the accumulation of objects and status.
