Based on this verse from the Bhagavad Gita, for those born under the Capricorn Rasi, mental state, profession, and family are significant areas of life. The Uttiradam Nakshatra and the planet Saturn help maintain their mental state as stable and balanced. They should not lose mental peace whether they achieve what they desire or receive what they do not desire. Keeping the mental state balanced will aid in achieving success in profession and happiness in family. The planet Saturn provides them with a sense of responsibility and patience. It is essential to control the mental state to handle challenges in profession. Maintaining mental peace is crucial to preserve unity in the family. Thus, by following the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, they can achieve steady progress in life.

In this verse, Sri Krishna explains how to attain mental peace. He states that one should not grieve if he does not obtain what he desires; similarly, he should not grieve if he receives what he does not desire. A peaceful mind is filled with wisdom. Such a person will not be affected by the changes of this world. He will remain with a stable intellect. His mind will always be calm and balanced.

This is a principle stated in Vedanta, known as 'Sthitaprajna.' 'Sthitaprajna' refers to having a stable understanding in the mind. When pleasure and pain, desire and aversion govern the human mind, the mental state fluctuates. However, a person with complete knowledge transcends these changes. For him, the successes and failures of this world will be equal. This is the true state of wisdom. This is the true state of the Paramatma.

In today's world, people face various challenges. We are constantly running for work, family, and money. Economic challenges, debt/EMI pressures can affect the mind. However, this verse from the Bhagavad Gita emphasizes the necessity of facing them with balance. Engaging in some meditation and yoga practices can enhance peace and mental well-being. It is advisable to avoid unnecessary competition and stress on social media. Our lives should have a long-term perspective. Healthy eating habits can lead to longevity. This verse can help in maintaining a happy family life and fulfilling parental responsibilities. Striving to keep our minds calm is the foundation for a joyful life.
