I understand your point of not missing upon the values you were raised with but the above quote doesn't say that you can't/shouldn't pursue goals.
This philosophy attempts to say that we should work (towards a goal) but we shouldn't fret too much about the fruits of the work done.
Have you ever listened about 'The Bhagvat Gita' ('the Gita'), one of the most recognised and revered Hindu scriptures across the globe?
I have heard of it. I don't have precise knowledge of it. I'm not saying I necessarily disagree with the quote. I personally have lived this way. I'm just not sure I believe it would be ethically wrong for someone to pursue wealth just for material gain. The person may have grown up poor. Perhaps a family member has serious medical needs, etc. Perhaps the person just really wants to be rich.

💯💯💯 Obviously!
The theories given in our scriptures may be ideals for someone but they can't be suited to everyone's needs.
