Shloka : 16 / 78

Those born under the Makara Rasi and Uthiradam Nakshatra, influenced by the Shani Graha, should learn an important lesson from this Bhagavad Gita verse. They must realize that thinking 'I alone am doing all the actions' is a sign of ignorance. In business, success cannot be achieved solely through hard work; one must also recognize the contributions of teamwork and additional forces. In the family, unity and mutual understanding are essential. In financial management, one should plan and act regarding debts and expenses. When the Shani Graha brings challenges and tests, one must act patiently to cope. By functioning without Ahamkara and valuing the contributions of others, long-term benefits will be gained. This will lead to a peaceful state of mind. By realizing this and acting accordingly, stability and tranquility in life will be achieved.

In this verse, Sri Krishna conveys an important idea. If one thinks, 'I alone am doing everything,' he is indeed a fool due to ignorance. The reason is that our actions are conducted by God or the forces of nature. We are merely functioning as instruments. Acting without awareness of external forces leads to a complete loss of perspective. Therefore, the feeling of 'I am doing' should be avoided. Actions should be performed with awareness.

In Vedanta philosophy, 'Ahamkara' is said to be a very detrimental delusion. It creates the sense of 'I' and 'mine.' But true knowledge is to see that everything happens through God or the Supreme Being. This philosophy teaches us that we have no authority. Ahamkara arises from ignorance; hence it must be transcended. When the sense of who is doing goes away, the mind finds peace.

In today's life, many believe they are the sole reason for their personal and professional successes. This often leads to pride. It is essential to foster mutual understanding within family welfare and among siblings. In professional life, teamwork must be handled well; focusing only on personal success can lead to confusion. One must consider not only personal welfare but also the welfare of others. A balanced life is essential for longevity, good eating habits, and health. A sense of responsibility should be cultivated between parents and children. Planning to free oneself from debt/EMI pressures is necessary. One should avoid excessive engagement on social media. Therefore, maintaining one's mental peace, health, and long-term welfare is crucial.
