Shloka : 32 / 78

Those born under the Makara Rasi, under the influence of the Avittam Nakshatra, are likely to face the impact of Tamasik qualities due to the influence of the Shani Graha. As stated in this verse by Lord Krishna, the intellect deluded by ignorance diverts from Dharma. This affects the mental state and leads to making wrong decisions. The Shani Graha creates challenges in life but also helps enhance the capacity for thought. Therefore, to promote Dharma and values, stabilize the mental state, and foster unity in the family, we must be mindful in our actions. To cultivate good values in the family, we should follow them and develop clarity in our minds. This way, we can walk the path of Dharma and attain benefits in life. To manage the effects of the Shani Graha and enhance thinking ability, spiritual practices like yoga and meditation can be undertaken. This will bring clarity to the mind and allow us to walk the path of Dharma, achieving benefits in life.

In this verse, Lord Sri Krishna explains the three states of intelligence. Here, the intellect deluded by ignorance considers Adharma as Dharma. This leads to making wrong decisions and straying from the right path in life. Such a deluded intellect brings no benefit. It causes a person to act irresponsibly and diverts them from Dharma. Therefore, clarity and the ability to think are needed in our minds. Krishna awakens us by clarifying these aspects of intelligence.

According to Vedanta philosophy, a person is guided by three qualities. Among them, the intellect deluded by ignorance is a result of the Tamas quality. This intellect does not perceive the truth and is surrounded by illusion. Therefore, it considers Adharma as Dharma. Such knowledge, lacking sufficient contemplation, leads to choosing wrong paths in life. Vedanta helps in seeking the truth and realizing the reality. A person must cultivate their inner awareness to break free from Tamasik intellect and attain the truth. This leads to liberation.

In today's life, the advice of Lord Krishna holds great significance. Many people act on false information presented on social media, believing it to be true. Now, in a world filled with information, the ability to critically analyze and discern is essential. In finance and business, it has become common to make unreliable decisions due to ignorance. For family welfare and longevity, healthy eating habits and exercise are crucial. Parents should cultivate good values in their children, which will have a significant impact on their future. Debt and EMI pressure can affect our minds and bodies; therefore, planning for financial independence is necessary. Long-term thinking and clarity will enrich our lives. Think carefully before making decisions and act according to Dharma. This will transform our lives for the better.
