In this Bhagavad Gita verse, Lord Sri Krishna emphasizes the importance of Self-realization. For those born under the Capricorn sign and with the Uttiradam nakshatra, the influence of Saturn plays a significant role in their lives. The Saturn planet aids in improving health and mental state. To attain mental peace and the state of Self-realization, a healthy body and mind are essential. In professional life, the influence of Saturn emphasizes long-term planning and patience.

By achieving the state of Self-realization, one can attain stability and happiness in life. This leads to mental peace and divine consciousness.

In this verse, Lord Sri Krishna emphasizes the importance of keeping the mind unaffected by the expressions of the Vedas. One must achieve inner peace without being enslaved by the benefits and objects of the Vedas. When you are established in the Self, you will not be disturbed by any external distractions. This will enable you to act decisively and without fear. As a result, you can attain self-realization and experience divine consciousness. This state provides mental peace, which requires wisdom.

Here, Sri Krishna speaks about the core philosophy of Vedanta, which is to attain the state of Self-realization. To perceive the truth beyond the Vedas, one must transcend the ordinary benefits and objects of the Vedas. By doing so, it becomes possible to attain a state of profound spiritual knowledge. This is practiced through yoga or meditation. The Vedantic thought involves withdrawing the mind from external phenomena and turning it towards the truth of the Self, remaining steadfast in that. Such a state brings peace and happiness in life.

In today's life, there are many pressures and stresses. It is crucial to keep the mind calm without being enslaved by Vedic objects. In family welfare, one's mental peace brings tranquility to others as well. In business, self-realization is needed to tackle challenges faced. In the pressures of money and debt, proper planning provides mental peace. Good dietary habits contribute to a healthy body and mind. Parents must first control their minds to act responsibly. One should reflect before believing information seen on social media. With long-term thinking, deep mental peace can be attained. All these can contribute to a person's longevity.
