It also said that, in their thoughts Mahatma and Siddhartha thoughts differed in a number of ways. First of all, Siddhartha did not take economic philosophy as a primary but instead he took it as a secondary issue. This brought a great difference in between Mahatma and Siddhartha since economic philosophy was of great importance to the country and it framed the economic of the country and for this reason it was supposed to be looked at by the many. Due to this, it brought a great contraction between the two. (Grover)
The seven deadly sins is a thought used by Mahatma as an active establishment to the efficiency of quality, management, service, team building, managerial arrangements and other planned commercial ideas. This Mahatma thought, helped a lot in fighting the deadly sins that could have caused the slow growth of their country which was unlike to Siddhartha thoughts.
It is not clear whether Siddhartha participated in the seven deadly sins but the little research done shows that, he termed the seven deadly sins as a secondary issue. For this reason this thought took quite a time in its effectiveness because Siddhartha did not assist a lot in selling the idea. (Docstoc)
