3. Reliance “Ego was Genesis of our Troubles.”(The following text is an excerpt from the
Times of India as stated by Shri Anil Ambani.It shows how Dhirubhai Ambani’s Nishkam
Karma led to the success of Reliance and how the involvement of Ambani brothers in Sakam
Karma led to its division) Karma yogi was my father Dhirubhai Ambani’s other name. He was
a man of action. But as a true follower of Bhagavat Gita, he acted not for himself, but for
humanity. In the true spirit of Nishkama karma, he remained free from attachment to the
fruits of his action. Like a true bhakta, he attributed his good actions to the lord of all souls.
The Gita is the essence of Krishna’s message. Its wisdom and fundamental truths are

eternal, guiding man through life by revealing the purpose of human existence. Since the
divine is an aspect of all us, trust has a central place in all our relationships. Ego is the source
of all our troubles. It creates a feeling of separateness, sense of duality, the idea of being
distinct and different from others. It is an arrogant and obsessive sense of ownership, the
passion of Sakam that has lost touch with dharma. Humility is the essential foundation for
building everything that is lasting and permanent. It means to create without claiming of
doing without taking credit, of guiding without interfering. This was the abiding truth which
guided the life of Dhirubhai Ambani. He never saw himself as an owner.
a. How did the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita contribute to the success of Reliance in the
era of Dhirubhai Ambani? (5
Marks)
b. How can Nishkama Karma lead to success in Business Management? (5 Marks)
