Shloka : 60 / 78

In this Bhagavad Gita verse, the advice given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna is particularly significant for those born under the Capricorn Rasi and Uttirashada Nakshatra. Under the influence of Saturn, they tend to focus greatly on their career and family responsibilities. In their professional life, the impact of Saturn emphasizes hard work, leading to success. However, due to the influence of illusion, they may sometimes experience confusion in their minds. Therefore, they must recognize their inherent nature and fulfill their duties. In family life, they will feel the responsibility to protect their relationships. For longevity, they should adopt healthy habits. The teachings of this verse will help them engage in selfless actions in their lives and free themselves from the bondage of illusion.

In this verse, Lord Krishna speaks to Arjuna. Even if you do not wish to act due to the influence of illusion, you will inevitably perform those actions because of your inherent nature. Illusion is a force that obscures our true state. However, we will one day be compelled to act according to our selfless nature.

This verse conveys the Vedantic philosophy that illusion can lead us astray from our reality. However, our soul always seeks the truth. Our karma or actions are the essence of our life. This is our true spiritual path. We can free ourselves from the bondage of illusion when our ego accepts responsibility for our actions.

In today's world, this verse is relevant in many ways. We have many responsibilities we must fulfill for the welfare of our families, from which we may try to escape due to illusion. However, the actions we must take in our relationships guide us and determine our path. This also applies to work and finances; even if we get caught in debt constraints, we must strive to build ourselves through our efforts. We should manage the pressures arising from friends and social media, taking our health and longevity as goals. This allows us to align our life’s objectives. When we are anchored in our minds, we can lead our lives with fulfillment and prosperity. This is our true identity.
