Professor Mehta has considered the need of human beings as infinite in his principle of want lessness, in which the second requirement is immediately born when one requirement is met. This is the situation of unconscious needs. A person who has never heard of something nor has ever seen it, will certainly not need the consciousness to see it nor he will feel pain in his heart if he does not obtain it.
According to Mehta, the given wantlessness principle does not apply to this unconscious need. Man’s needs grow with his income. The needs of a wealthy person will be higher than the requirement of a poor person. That means, the poor person is looking for adequate means to fulfill one of his needs, and after its fulfillment, he gets the feeling of pleasure in the same. Mehta’s wantlessness principle does not apply in every area altogether. It applies only to the person’s essential needs.
