Question: Acharya Ji, which are the industries I should invest my money in?
Acharya Prashant Ji: There are two industries that are not going to fail. First, that thrives on kids. Second, that thrives on sickness. And the two are one.
The school industry is never going to starve, and they will always make very big bucks. What else do we earn for? To pay to the schools. And the hospital industry is also always going to prosper, and they will make very big bucks. What have we earned for? To pay to the hospitals.
You can avoid spending anywhere else, but these two places, you will not only spend, you will always overspend – kids education, and health.
And it should be obvious to you that these both have to do with your deepest vrittis (latent tendencies). We began this evening talking of what this prakriti (nature) relies on. It relies on continuation of this body, and procreation. This body should continue, and more bodies should keep coming. So, these two are also the two ways to loot away your hard earned money.
I recently found out that the apparels of a fully grown-up man, are only as expensive as apparels of a two-month old. If you purchase something for yourself for two-thousand rupees, and that thing is this big, size forty-four, rest assured that if you buy something for your infant who is one month old, that too will cost equally the same. And you will not be able to question it. It’s a matter of love, you know. Don’t you love your child? Can you question the fees that the schools charge you? It’s preposterous.
