Krishna helped Arjuna in WAR. Yudhisthir lost in Gambling. Was it the partiality of Krishna? 

Dear Investors, 

Jai Jinendra! We wish Paryushan Parva filled with Religious Fervour and Bhakti to all our Jain readers. When you go through our religious books – you come across many such observations like above. We will deal with the same in the most logical manner in this post. 

Story goes like this: - 

Once Uddav the best friend of Krishna asked – Who is the TRUE FRIEND? Krishna replied – when a friend is in need – a true friend will help without waiting for his friend to ask for help. 

Uddav asked – if that is correct - why you didn’t help Yudhisthir while he was losing in the gambling? 

Krishna replied: - We all are blessed with Wisdom and Intelligence. Duryodhan knew that he was not a good player so he made SHAKUNI to play on his behalf. Yudhisthir also knew that he was not a good player – but he played himself. Naturally, the best player won the game. 

Krishna asked Uddhav : -Had Yudhisthir allowed me to play on his behalf – what do you think who would have won? 

To top it all – he prayed to me that I should not go there where he is playing the CHAUSAR. So, I didn’t go. But when DRAUPADI called me – I went immediately. 

Uddhav replied – your arguments are solid. But you are a GOD – why should you wait till your BHAKT calls you? You should go without him calling you also. 

Krishna replied: - Everybody’s life is dependent on his KARMA. I don’t force anybody to do or not to do any KARMA. They are independent to do what they want to do. I am just an OBSERVER. To be the observer is the DHARMA of GOD. 

Uddhav asked : - So, you will stand beside me and observe me while I am doing WRONG KARMA and punish me later on for the same!! 

Krishna replied with a very serious tone – I am always with everybody. But the time you want to do wrong – you forget me and do. The day you feel my presence – you will not be able to do anything wrong. So, it’s your forgetting me that is causing you to do the wrong karmas.

How is this applicable to the NORMAL investors? 

Normal investor is ready to pay Rs.3 to 5 lakhs per annum of fees for his KID’s pre-nursery schooling fees. When they teach A/B/C/D. He feels proud about the same and boasts in the social circle that his kid is in so and so school. But he is not ready to pay reasonable fees to his investment consultant to invest his 30-40 years of earned capital.

The Mahabharata war lasted for 18 days. It was a long time and there were chances of changing the results on either side. But Arjun kept his consultant with him from start to end. So, he won. You can compare with the LONG TERM INVESTMENTS. 

Yudhisthir lost all he had in a game of  just 1 to 2 hour may be. Say you are doing Options and Futures or Trading. The person who needed the consultant most was Yudhisthir. The time was so limited that nothing much can be changed without expertise. But he didn’t call Krishna. 

Normal investors take 20-25 years to study and then do the job/business for 30-40 years of life to earn what he earns and accumulates but when he comes to share market or crypto market – he can lose all what he has in minutes. He knows the same but he is like Yudhisthir – his ego doesn’t permit him to accept that he doesn’t know how to invest. He also wants to save on the FEES. 

Most normal guys want to rely on Media experts for investing their hard earned money. When you take the inputs from these guys – your EGO is not affected plus you save on fees. 

But when you sit across a consultant you have to tell him that you don’t know. If at all you don’t tell him – he will come to know without you telling. So, your Ego is affected and also you have to pay him!!

You need tons of courage to deal with the above two. 

The name of ARJUN and Yudhisthir gives the indication: - 

The meaning of the name ARJUN is the person who has a soft heart. The meaning of Yudhisthir is the person who is so egoistic that he will stand stable even when the defeat is seen clearly. 

Having a soft heart and expertise of KRISHNA is available to you. Have an EGO and be ready to suffer. 

Make your choice.

All the best.
