Why did KARNA get defeated by ARJUN? Interesting learning for 2026.

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Namaste! I see many investors are losing money in their investments. I see many people are stressed in their day today life. Many are struggling for various reasons. Of course I have helped them in my capacities – if they approach me. But for the benefits of the larger audience  - I am sharing something unique about KARNA’s defeat today.

Going for Short-cuts in life: - 

Karna took the best of the education from Bhagwan Parshuram. He could have collected the small team and attacked the small kingdom on his own and he would have become the king by his own efforts. 

Rather than taking a long route – he chose to become a king with the favour of Duryodhana. 

This shortcut became a root cause of his defeat. 

For NORMAL persons starting career: - 

Many normal people when they start a career – they start using CREDIT CARD cards and other credit facilities to enjoy the luxuries of life. They want everything instantly. 

Ideally, they should accumulate the savings and invest those savings – which will take 10-15 years – and then enjoy life with his own money. 

But they take instant loans and believe that they are also RICH. Now, they have to pay the EMIs and to pay the EMIs they remain in stress and they sell their soul and work in the corporate world. They simply lose control of their life / choices and dreams. Unfortunately, they realise very late in their life. 

For normal Investors: - 

Normal investors want fast money. They look out for the TREND BREAK-OUT / TIPS from informed sources / trade in Futures and Options. They assume that they will make money fast. SEBI studies year after year says that 95% of the traders are the losers. Still NORMAL investors TRADE assuming that they will come into the 5% someday. 

There are no shortcuts in money making or anything in life. 

Purpose of the fight: - 

Arjun was fighting to win the war. Karna was fighting to pay back the favours. His soul was not there in the war.

When a person has taken a loan and he is in the pressure to pay the EMI – his soul will not be there in the work. His soul will be there in the SALARY. He would be waiting for the salary day.

This will impact his quality of the work and his progress will be limited over a period of time. 

Normal investors should come to the market for WEALTH CREATION and not to earn a little extra money. Those who come to earn a little extra money – will not have the patience to wait. 

What Next? 

Our scriptures have tons of wisdom hidden in them. Read them. Think about them and you will get knowledge to upgrade your life to the next levels. 

Don’t take short-cuts. They are dangerous. 

Wish you all the best for the year 2026.
