It does not
mean scarcity of food, money or material
things. If one possesses self-confidence
then we can overcome poverty.

We go into this model where you have the
one guy who will come and fix everything.
He is going to come on a horse, thats the
model, thats the Indian model. He is going

waiting. He is coming and everything is
going to be fine. No. Its not going to work
like that.

Every situation that Indian person finds
himself in is extremely complex. We have
to deal with the red lights. As young

If you go back a hundred, two hundred
years, you would find that India is energy;
it is a force. If you go back a thousand
years, two thousand years, you would find
that force came from our rivers: Ganga,
Yamuna, and Saraswati. We worshiped
these rivers and the reason we worshiped
these rivers was because that is where our
energy came from, and everything we had
was built on these rivers. Now, we have
gone way beyond that. We have built
structures that are allowing this energy to
rise, to explode.
