Shloka : 25 / 28

Those born under Capricorn have the influence of the Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra and the planet Saturn. In this context, the 25th verse of the 17th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita emphasizes performing actions without any desires through the word 'Tat'. Considering the traits of Capricorn and Saturn, they must handle their dharma and values with great importance. Actions performed for family welfare should be done without expecting any benefits, ensuring peace within the family. In health-related activities, one should prioritize physical and mental well-being, adhering to exercise and healthy eating habits without expecting rewards. Saturn emphasizes self-discipline and patience; therefore, cultivating these qualities will bring benefits in life. Through the word 'Tat', they can achieve spiritual growth by acting beyond any desires, further elevating their mental state.

This verse is spoken by Lord Krishna. It is essential for one who wishes to attain liberation or freedom to perform their acts of worship, penance, and charity without expecting any benefits. By uttering the word 'Tat', they free themselves from any kind of desires or rewards. This creates a sense that their actions are solely for the satisfaction of the Divine. Such a quality is significant for one's spiritual growth. Actions performed without expectation yield greater divine grace. This verse is elevated in both form and substance.

The fundamental idea of Vedanta philosophy is to act without expecting anything in return. The word 'Tat' signifies performing actions without any desire. It indicates adherence to the cosmic order. Performing dharma without expecting rewards leads to the path of the soul's liberation. Karmic actions driven by desire (Kamyakarma) are said to be inferior to those performed for spiritual growth (Sakshatkarmas). Only when actions are dedicated to the Divine do they yield their full benefits. This fosters the feeling that my actions are indeed a part of the Divine. Only then do our actions bring complete peace of mind.

In today's world, we engage in various actions for many reasons. However, actions performed without expecting any rewards make us feel liberated. Even actions done for family welfare bring peace to our minds when done without expecting benefits. When performing tasks related to money and business, it is most appropriate to focus solely on the work itself. For longevity and health, good dietary habits and exercise are essential. In parental responsibilities, focusing solely on the children's growth will yield greater benefits. Living without the pressure of debt or EMIs will provide us with new freedom. We should avoid excessive engagement in how we present ourselves on social media. This will further guide us towards righteousness and goodness mentally. Performing actions with long-term intentions brings us mental satisfaction and joy.
