Paryushan Parv Special – Learning from Bhagwan Mahavir and Investing

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Namaste! Over the years, we have been brainwashed into believing in something which is 100% false. Be it in the field of investing, social, political, or religion.

The same mistake has been done in the spiritual field also. Bhagwan Mahavir had given the most effective technology for progress in the field of Spiritual Journey. The same is equally effective if you want to apply in investing.

Today being the first day of PARYUSHAN PARVA – I am sharing my favourite technology.

According to BHAGWAN MAHAVIR, there are 4 steps to NIRVANA.

1.    DARSHAN (SEEING)

2.    GAYAN (KNOWLEDGE)

3.    CHARITRA(CHARACTER)

4.    TAP(PENANCE).

Here also – normal people follow the above numbers in a reverse way. They have been told that if they DO TAP, they will build up CHARACTER. Once CHARACTER is built, they will have KNOWLEDGE and once you get KNOWLEDGE you will SEE TRUTH. This is 100% wrong and misleading understanding.

99% of the success coaches around the world use this formula. They call it DOING leads to BEING formula. They are making tons of money with this misleading theory. You can’t become AMITABH BHACHHAN or NARENDRA MODI by doing (however sincerely) their way of working.

I have often talked about BEING LEADS TO DOING from my experiences. BHAGWAN MAHAVIR had said the same thing 2500 years ago.

Now let us see what he says.

DARSHAN: -

In India, DHARSHAN does not mean PHILOSOPHY. It means SEEING with an ATTITUDE of witness. If you see it as if you are witnessing, your SEEING is perfect. To see it as WITNESS does not require any ART or special skill or special TAP. All you need is AWARENESS. We all have experience of seeing with AWARENESS when something unexpected wrong happens with us.

BUDDHA got his awareness by SEEING an old man / sick man and a dead man. Since he was seeing with full awareness – he left his family immediately and went in search of TRUTH.

When investing, you need to SEE that PRICE is a SLAVE of BUSINESS PERFORMANCE. This is the only TRUTH and the rest all is theory and perception. BUFFET is saying the same thing.

KNOWLEDGE: -

When you SEE with AWARENESS, the SEER in you gets some experience. That EXPERIENCE is KNOWLEDGE. All your information/perceptions and beliefs are useless without experience with awareness.

When you have your OWN EXPERIENCE, you don’t need to rely on anybody.

When you see the business performance with the price-performance – you yourself will be convinced with the link between them. Then you don’t worry about ECONOMY/POLITICS / WORLD EVENTS or COVID.

CHARACTER: -

When you have SEEN it with awareness, when you have experienced it, both these lead to changes in your behaviour 360 degrees. This change in your behaviour leads to building your CHARACTER.

The character built this way will not go till you die.

The popular method of building character is …..

“Watch your thought, it will become your word.

What your word, it will become your action.

What your action, it will become your habit.

What your habits, it will become your character.”

In this way, your character is nothing but an extension of your habits. Habit is something that you do automatically without being aware. Many times, mechanically following leads to Hypocrisy.

The very essence of MAHAVIR’s teaching is doing with AWARENESS. So, inner change is the KEY and not the outer show.

Now the last step is TAP.

TAP: -

The most common meaning of Tap, as understood normally, is by doing some FAST or doing something which is painful to the body.

Mahavir’s meaning of TAP is suffering all the BAD events which come as a result of your PAST KARMAS in personal life/business life or relationship with patience and without any complaint. Those who can do this are doing the TAP by default.

Mahavir says those who follow the above 4 steps will achieve NIRVANA.

How to apply the above in INVESTING?

1.   See how the company is doing business? If possible, try to visit the plant and offices of the company. For the smallest investors, this is not possible. They can visit their stores, their suppliers, their distributors. They can get the customer's feedback about the company's products and services. Just SEE is the only thing you have to do at this moment.

2.   Once you SEE companies this way – you will develop an inner desire to take the next step to understand the company in a better way. You will study financial and other details here. This will become your KNOWLEDGE.

3.   If you have SEEN with awareness in the first place and taken the 2^nd step of Knowledge – you will form your inner opinion about the character of the company.

4.   Now, you invest in this company. If you have taken the first three steps properly, you will not get affected by the fall in prices of that company. In fact, you will feel delighted to add those shares. This will be your TAP.

By following the above steps, you will achieve your financial nirvana.
