In modern markets, the world rushes to take positions in options—buying or selling based on fear, greed or news. This impulsive behaviour, driven by emotion and without understanding deeper cycles, mirrors gambling. From a Vedic perspective, such action without awareness is not just risky—it is a disturbance of one's karmic balance.
Vedic wisdom teaches that every action (karma) must align with kaala (right time) and dharma (right purpose). When positions in options are taken without knowledge of timing, planetary influence or inner discipline, they become mere bets—devoid of consciousness. This is where trading turns into gambling.
Most market participants act out of impulse, not insight. But in the Vedic way, trading is a sadhana—a disciplined path. Option selling, when done with understanding of time cycles, degrees of planetary motion, and karmic rhythms, becomes a calculated and dharmic activity. It’s no longer about chasing premiums; it’s about aligning with the flow of time and energy.
The careless option seller plays with uncertainty; the conscious one respects the laws of nature. The difference lies in viveka (discernment).
So yes, generally the world’s approach to options—especially without time awareness—is gambling. But through the Vedic lens, trading becomes sacred when it is done with gyan (knowledge), niyam (discipline), and kaala-jñāna (awareness of time).
