Shloka : 24 / 35

In this verse of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Sri Krishna speaks about the state of the Self. Those born under the Capricorn sign, particularly under the Uttiradam Nakshatra and governed by the planet Saturn, will emphasize stability and responsibility in their lives. In their careers, they will perform their tasks with great attention and aspire for promotions. Due to the influence of Saturn, they need to pay attention to their health; maintaining a balance between physical and mental well-being is crucial. Keeping their mental state balanced is very important in their lives. A clear understanding of the Self will enhance their mental state and help them face life's challenges equally. To succeed in their careers, they must fully utilize their skills. Maintaining a balance between health and mental state will make their life journey joyful. Awareness of the Self will create balance in all areas of their lives. Thus, they can attain liberation without getting caught in the cycle of life.

In this verse, Lord Sri Krishna speaks about the Self and the qualities of Nature. The Self is an essence that is distinct from our body; it is eternal and unchanging. Nature encompasses all the attributes of the universe. It is important for a person to understand their essence and to be aware of the effects of Nature. By realizing this, they will attain liberation and not be caught in the cycle of rebirth. Observing the Self and realizing its truth is the goal of life. A person who understands this will accept all the outcomes of life equally.

According to Vedanta, the Self is a small part of the Supreme Power. It is unchanging and eternal. Due to the effects of Maya, we consider ourselves as the body, but in reality, we are the Self. The qualities created by Maya divert a person from their true essence. We must transcend the three qualities of Nature (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) to realize ourselves. Understanding the Self and going beyond the qualities is the ultimate goal of life in this world. By realizing this, one can be liberated from the cycle of rebirth.

In today's world, many are caught in the problems of life and are struggling with family welfare and work issues. However, understanding the Self is very important as it leads to happiness. Good dietary habits are essential for a long life. Parents should pass on spiritual legacies to their children. To come out of debt and EMI pressures, mental peace is needed. Social media subjects us to distractions; awareness of the Self can help us recover from these distractions. Health is a crucial tool that helps us realize our Self. Long-term thoughts and spiritual journeys can transform life positively. Clarity about the Self fosters thoughts and actions that transcend everything.
