In a reflective dialogue, a confused CA aspirant asks Krishna if pursuing Chartered Accountancy is worthwhile, given its difficulty, low pass rates, and concerns about automation replacing accountants. Krishna compares the CA journey to a modern-day Mahabharata, emphasizing perseverance, discipline, and self-mastery over mere outcomes. He highlights that while AI and software are tools, human judgment, ethics, and strategy remain irreplaceable. Krishna advises focusing on effort, not results, quoting both the Gita and pop culture, to inspire resilience. The conversation underscores CA as not just a professional course but a transformative journey requiring commitment and inner strength.
“CA Karna Chahiye Ya Nahi?” – Ek Samvaad:
Krishna aur Ek CA Aspirant Ke Beech
Scene:
A stressed-out CA student sits under a tree with books scattered, feeling lost. Lord Krishna appears—not on a chariot this time, but in calm presence, smiling with divine glow.
CA Aspirant:
Krishna ji, main bahut confused hoon.CA karna chahiye ya nahi? Itna tough course, itni mehnat, aur success ka koi guarantee bhi nahi… kya faayda?
Shri Krishna :
Hey Parth Ye tumhara yuddh hai. Har yuga ka ek Mahabharat hota hai. Tumhara Mahabharat yeh CA course hai.
“Kar karo, fal ki chinta mat karo.”
CA banana safar hai – paisa aur position baad mein aate hain. Pehle samarpan aur tapasya chahiye.
Aspirant:
Lekin Krishna ji, duniya keh rahi hai ki AI sab kuch replace kar dega. Accounting software,
automation…
Toh phir CA ka kya future hai?
Shri Krishna:
Arjun, machine sirf ginti kar sakti hai, soch nahi.CA sirf accounting ka course nahi hai, yeh vivek, naitikta, aur vishleshan sikhata hai.
AI tool hai, tum master ho. Jaise chess board pe computer har move janta hai, par strategy toh grandmaster hi banata hai.
Aspirant:
Par Krishna ji, log kehte hain CA boring hai. MBA zyada glam hai, startup cool hai… CA toh puraan ho gaya hai.
Shri Krishna :
Beta, duniya ko dikhawe chahiye. Tumhe depth chahiye ya dikhawa?
Remember that line from 3 Idiots:
“Kaabil bano, kaamyabi jhak maar ke peeche aayegi.”
CA tumhe core strength deta hai. Jo business ki rooh samjhe, uska glam khud ban jaata hai.
Aspirant:
Par Krishna ji, CA bahut tough hai. 1% result, log fail hote rehte hain. Lagta hai chhod doon sab.
Shri Krishna:
Parth, tumhare andar doubt hai, par tum Yodha ho.
“Na hi kashchit kshanamapi jaatu tishthatyakarmakrit.”
Insaan ek pal bhi bina kaam ke nahi reh sakta.
CA ka struggle tumhara tapasya hai. Jo pass ho jaaye, uska career secure hai; jo fail ho jaaye, uski soch, discipline aur resilience lifetime asset ban jaati hai.
Aspirant :
Krishna ji, ab thoda clarity mil raha hai. Lekin guarantee?
Shri Krishna:
“Tumhara adhikaar sirf karm par hai, fal par nahi.”
Persevere with detachment, that is the highest form of Karma.
Aur suno, Batman ka ek dialogue yaad hai?
“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.”
CA ban ke tum bhi ek silent guardian ban jaoge—business world ke Dark Knight.
Aspirant :
Toh Krishna ji, aap keh rahe ho – CA worth it hai, agar main sach mein uske laayak banne ko tayyar hoon?
Shri Krishna :
Bilkul, Parth.
CA sirf ek course nahi – ek mental and spiritual journey hai.
Jab tum is path pe chaloge, tumhara “Main” badlega.
Woh din door nahi jab tum self-doubt se self-mastery ki taraf badh jaoge.
Antim Vachan:
“CA tabhi worth hai jab tum worth bane ke liye tayyar ho.”
Jo rasta kathin ho, wahi tumhe asli roop deta hai.
