Shloka : 14 / 30

For those born under the Makara Rasi, the influence of the Thiruvonam Nakshatra and the planet Shani is significant. In this configuration, challenges may arise in professional and family life. The planet Shani signifies trials and hard work. However, according to Bhagavad Gita 7:14, one can overcome these challenges by taking refuge in the knowledge of the Lord. To achieve progress in business, one must maintain a stable mindset and act with devotion. To establish peace and unity in family relationships, one should seek the Lord's grace. To maintain mental stability, spiritual practices such as daily meditation and yoga can be undertaken. This leads to mental peace and success in professional and family life. The key message of this verse is that with the grace of the Lord, one can overcome any obstacles, leading to happiness and peace.

This world is made up of three qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. These three qualities explain the nature of the world, but understanding them is challenging. The Bhagavad Gita states that one must take refuge in the knowledge of the Lord to transcend these three qualities. Only when a person fully understands the Vedanta of Lord Krishna can they overcome these three qualities. Through this, a person attains true happiness and peace. With the grace of the Lord, one can overcome any obstacles in this world. This is the promise of Lord Krishna.

According to Vedanta philosophy, the three qualities affect human minds and actions. Sattva signifies peace accompanied by knowledge. Rajas indicates energy and the strength to succeed. Tamas represents ignorance and lethargy. However, since all three are part of the illusion, it is difficult to grasp them. Lord Krishna states that one must transcend these three qualities through knowledge and devotion. To facilitate this, having complete faith in the Lord will guide one. Through this, liberation from the bonds of illusion can be achieved. To attain true spiritual growth, one must transcend all three.

In today's world, there are various pressures: family responsibilities, the need to earn money, economic stresses like debts/EMIs, and spending excessive time on social media. All these affect a person through the three qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. To achieve a stable mental state, it is essential to follow the Vedanta of Lord Krishna. This provides us with a sense of balance and peace of mind. For longevity and health, one should adopt good dietary habits, avoid bad habits, and engage in practices to attain mental peace. To improve family welfare and economic conditions, long-term plans should be developed and acted upon accordingly. This leads to peace, health, and wealth in life. Furthermore, having faith in the Lord can help manage any life challenges.
