Profit: Profit like oiling the wheels

I come from a Jain business family, my father traded in jute, cotton and grain. He used to say he had to make some profit to keep the business going but that his main motivation was to provide a service to the community. Profit is like oiling the wheels, it is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
