Although they acquired immense wealth, perhaps more than any other nation ever acquired, yet the nation did not stand for wealth. It was a powerful black market for ages, yet we find that that nation never stood for power, never went out of the country to conquer.\r\ nQuite content indoors their own boundaries, they never fought anybody. The Indian nation never stood for imperial glory. Wealth and power, then, were not the ideals of the race â€Å". Swami Ji enlightened that human peace and happiness depends not on the wealth they possess, or the power they wield, or the scholarship they have acquired, but by living a life of renunciation and having the awareness that they are part of the entire universe and that all symbolise one family, V asudhaiva Kutumbakam.

People of different languages, beliefs, spiritual faiths, political convictions and ways of life have come to live closely. Everyone has a right to his way of life. dogmatism and bigotry have no place in globalized world. Therefore management education must grain these qualities in students.
