Krishna Talked about Yoga in 6^th Chapter in Gita, PATANJALI made it 1^st chapter in his life, Important Investment Lesson for Modern Investors

Greetings from Hitesh! Tomorrow is International Yoga day and many will be excited to join the celebration for the same. The day is being celebrated in many parts of the World. So, it’s Truly International in that sense. Today we will deal with an important aspect of investments based on that.

How Enlightened Souls changed the focus on their system based on their time?

If you look at the long history of Enlightened Souls staring from Krishna to Present day, you will feel immensely happy with their use of technology based on their time. Just open GITA and Krishna talked about all possible techniques in 18 chapters. The credit for making Krishna talk about all of them goes to ARJUN. It was the questions of ARJUN that made Krishna talk about all the techniques one after another.

However, Krishna’s 1^st technique was GYAN YOG – or SANKHYA YOG. He said that once you know yourself in proper perspective, nothing is to be done. That is more than enough. This is the ultimate technique and ARJUN could not grasp it. So, he went on asking about KARMA/BHAKTI/YOGA and combinations of them. ARJUN had a doing mind and he wanted to DO something rather than to BE something.

Buddha talked about the same technique about 2500 years back. But he took the support of Meditation. In a way, DHAYAN became a DOING.

Krishna gave a passing reference to SWADHYAY – SELF STUDY – in the 4^th chapter. But JESUS made the CONFESSION – SELF STUDY as the main method to understand yourself about 2000 years back. Today PSHYCHO ANALYSIS is a major tool in WEST.

Same way PATANJALI came with YOG SUTRAS. He talked about YOGA, 6^th chapter of Gita, as his first technique for SELF REALISATION. He talked about 8 steps to be followed on the way to a self-realization about 1700 years ago.

In the recent past of 700-1000 years, we have got N number of realized souls talking about BHAKTI as a way to self- realization. Look at GURU NANAK / Kabir / RAIDAS / MEERA / MAHAPRABHU – they all talked about BHAKTI as a way.

Why this historical perspective on YOGA DAY?

One thing is visible at this point and that is very shocking. The techniques of SELF-REALISATIONS are used for some petty purposes. I feel sorry for the guys when they use MEDITATION to deal with STRESS. Yoga to deal with their health issues. Bhakti to make a show off as a good person in their respective society.

When a person like me points out this anomaly – the respective GURU always says – let them start with this at least. Someday they will go to the main purpose.

Above ARGUMENT looks so appealing that most will buy this and they will miss the real essence. My simple reply is that Water has to boil to 100 C to become STEAM. You may boil to 10 C to 99 C, it will not become STEAM. So, by doing less than 100%, you are wasting the main purpose.

How does this affect investment performance?

Go back the history of investments. It was simple. You become a partner in the business by investing in that business. The partnership was for the long term. The investor wanted to be a part of the business as it grows. The investor was ready to go through the ups and downs of business.

Today we have forgotten BUSINESSES and we are only concerned with PRICE. If the price moves up, it is good business and if prices go down – something is wrong.

How SMART INVESTORS operate?

They focus on business and not the price. They know that if businesses are proper, prices will move up some of the other day.

Since these kinds of people are small in numbers – they have the highest amount of success as an investor.

What is the main thought on YOGA DAY?

If you look at the long history – our intellectual levels have deteriorated like anything. Many times, we would have seen very poor people are eating foods which were thrown away in a marriage party or in a hotel. You would have seen fighting among them for these wastage foods. They are eating these out of their situations.

But we have missed the NOBLE purpose of SELF-REALISATION in YOGA and holding to the wastage of the things and what’s more, we are ready to fight for our wastage like people on the STREET.

What’s in it for Investors?

Make your investment as a PARTNER in the business and things will change drastically for you. As long as you are obsessed with PRICE – you will be burning your heart.

Have a HAPPY YOGA DAY In ADVANCE.
