Some things in life are not meant to be destroyed.
They are meant to be controlled.
Ignorance is one of them.

--------------------------------------------

In the iconography of Shiva as Nataraja, there is a small figure beneath His feet — Apasmara.
Apasmara symbolises ignorance, arrogance, and confusion — not the absence of learning, but false knowledge and ego that can arise even in educated minds.

What is important to note is this:
Shiva does not kill Apasmara.

Because ignorance cannot be eliminated once and for all.
It can only be kept in check — repeatedly.
That is why Shiva dances over him, again and again.

--------------------------------------------

Life works the same way.

Growth does not come from knowing everything.
It comes from knowing what to ignore — ego, noise, and overconfidence.

--------------------------------------------

I see this lesson play out clearly in investing.

Today, many investors are influenced by constant news flow, narratives, and political noise.
Not by data.
Not by long-term realities.
But by what is loud and emotionally charged.

--------------------------------------------

As a result, they stop seeing the structural long-term opportunities that India offers today.
And the truth is — the India we see today will not look the same after 7–10 years.

Ironically, the same voices that spread fear and hesitation
are often already invested and participating in growth.
While others wait endlessly for “clarity”.

--------------------------------------------

In investing, just like in life:

• You don’t defeat ignorance by reacting

• You manage it with discipline

• You grow by staying anchored to reality, not narratives

Calm behavior.
Time in the market.
Consistent discipline.

Everything else is secondary.
