How Can Bhagavad Gita Help You With Your Investments?

It has been said that Bhagavad Gita has answers to all the solutions in the world, and this blog is proof of that. In this blog we will discuss how you can recover from financial loses, how to invest better and how to make more profits with your investments.

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”

When applied to investing we can figure that it is better to invest by self-knowledge and research rather than copying someone. There is no shortcut to anything you have to invest time and energy.

“The non permanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.”

When you compare happiness and despair with speculative markets. You are giving the stock market the key to your life. Why would you want to give away such power? Invest smartly and see it as a game, expect the worst and be untouched by the same.

“You have control over doing your respective duty, but no control or claim over the results. Fear of failure, from being emotionally attached to the fruit of work, is the greatest impediment to success because it robs efficiency by constantly disturbing the equanimity of mind.”

All you can do while investing is be diligent, apply your knowledge. But even after the best of analysis things can wrong. Know that you only have limited control and there is no point in crying over things that are out of your control.

“Know the reality of yourself, who you are and what you are really. Know that you are neither your body nor your mind, but the true self that can neither be slain nor hurt. It is eternal, divine and transcendental “

Dissect your needs and wants, money is the most important of material needs, but once you are done with basic life necessities all else that you are doing is for luxury.

“Nothing should be accepted blindly; everything should be accepted with care and with caution.”

Instead of being sad, angry and resentful, learn about what happened, why and how can you keep that from not happening again.

We hope this wisdom will not only make you love Gita more but also will help you have a better perspective on investments.
