Shloka : 12 / 24

Based on this Bhagavad Gita verse, individuals born in the Capricorn sign under the influence of Saturn in the Uttara Ashadha nakshatra should focus on finance, family, and mental state. Saturn, particularly in Capricorn, can create challenges in financial management and family welfare. If desires and attachments are excessive, they may seek wealth through improper means to improve their financial situation. This can cause stress within the family. To maintain a stable mental state, they should control their desires and choose a simple life. To enhance family relationships, they should act honestly. To keep their mental state stable, they can engage in meditation and spiritual practices. This way, they can attain mental peace and achieve lasting happiness in life.

In this verse, Lord Krishna speaks about the bondage caused by human desires, attachment, and anger. These traits imprison one's mind and push them away from true happiness. With numerous desires, they compete with others and seek wealth through improper means. These thoughts never allow them to be at peace. In fact, they lose both tranquility and serenity. Even after their desires are fulfilled, they remain unsatisfied in their minds. They will always be in search of more. As a result, they cannot attain lasting joy.

Desires, attachment, and anger play a significant role in human life. They engage us in the pleasures of the external world. As Vedanta states, these three qualities push us away from true happiness. They are major obstacles to receiving the grace of the Paramatma. True bliss can only be found in the spiritual realm. When bound by desires, the mind is always in a state of unrest. Only by suppressing desires can peace prevail in the mind. If we control our desires and connect with the Paramatma, our lives will be complete. We can achieve mental peace by living a naturally simple life.

In our pursuit of goals, we engage in various desires and attachments. This is particularly true when trying to earn money, gain fame, and establish a higher standard of living. To achieve family well-being and longevity, we must adhere to good dietary habits. However, if these desires become excessive, they can create unnecessary mental stress. The pressures of work, loans, and EMIs can lead to turmoil, which unfortunately affects our mental peace. Competing with others through social media diminishes our joy. We should prioritize health and long-term thoughts and implement a simple lifestyle. Parents should teach their children the importance of a simple life. Approaching life with peace in the heart will make our lives better.
