Man is driven by desires which, in turn, excite corresponding thoughts. Some of these thoughts gravitate into action. Others, lacking in force, either keep revolving at the level of dreams or get lost in the way. In the same manner, many people, lacking clarity in vision and thought, often end up directionless. Such human beings may be breeding innumerable thoughts, many of them meaningful, but for lack of conviction, they get stuck at the dream level. In the process, they get stifled and end up being disgusted. They, then, lose the purpose in life.

Remember, human mind-space works like a computer’s memory mechanism. If we ever open programs beyond the scope of random memory of the computer, it hangs. We then need to shut down the computer and open it afresh. In case of human beings, many a times, too many inconsequential thoughts get piled up. These thoughts occupy so much of mind-space that we are hardly left with enough to process our thoughts objectively. The habitual day-dreamers — as also those who suffer from worrying syndrome — often get trapped. Once caught up in such a situation, they do not enjoy their present and get desperate for a change. However, the paradox with such people is that they remain clueless about their desired destination. And, if their malady goes unattended for long, they may end up as a psychic case, warranting medical intervention.

In one such case, an ambitious young man with great potential is unable to find a way out of his stagnation. He detests his present job. Remember, unless you enjoy what you are doing, you will fail to raise the spirit necessary to discharge your obligations. As a consequence, when you stagnate, you become restless.

Look at his astrological chart. Mind indicator, the Moon, is conjunct mischievous Neptune, which makes him a day-dreamer, having a suspicious mind. He will not only be suspicious about others, but also doubt himself. And, the fact that Moon is placed in the sign Sagittarius, the one owned by expansive Jupiter, the flow of thoughts would be endless. What further adds salt to the injury is Mercury’s adverse placement with restive Rahu occupying his lagna sign. That keeps his thoughts randomly drifting from one end to the other, not necessarily consistent with each other.

Karmakaraka Saturn is exalted, but is placed adverse to headless Ketu. That makes him a habitual escapist who may have the tendency to run away from the truth. It also breeds in a strong sense of inertia, which does not allow him to take challenges in time. The Sun is locked in adverse formation with the Rahu-Ketu axis, which makes his conviction and resolve questionable. His energies may, thus, go misdirected. And then Mars, the planet identified with fire energy is debilitated. That makes him irritable and impulsive.

For the above reasons, he has stored up such a huge stock of inconsequential and conflicting thoughts that his mind is literally in a state of paralysis. He, therefore, needs to get into a spiritual process under the guidance of a proper mentor so that he could clear off the clutters of mind before it is too late. Otherwise, it will turn into psychiatric problem of a serious dimension calling for medical intervention. Under present circumstances, he does not have the space necessary to register any counsel. It is only after the cleansing of his mind those positive suggestions should be offered that can lead him towards the right direction.
