Evolutionary potential intrinsic to fundamental elements of creation, spontaneously led them progressively evolve into the manifest world, with all its enormity and diversity. Since the cause has to find its imprint in the effect, the urge to evolve further has to be there in the human construct as well. No wonder, it remains our common urge to successfully keep progressing in life with ease and comfort. Also, get better empowered, mentally, intellectually, emotionally, materially and otherwise.
The paradox, however, is that whereas in nature, the whole course of creation chain progressively evolved involuntarily. The human beings, on the contrary, need to put in conscious efforts, as they enjoy choice option. This is the real challenge in human life. For, the choice option happens to be a double-edged weapon, as it carries as much probability of misuse as rightful use. Evidently, if this option is not used carefully, it could very well serve as a trickster, often stalling the evolutionary momentum.
It may not be out of place to mention that the urge to evolve is ingrained in human nature. If anyway it gets compromised, the void there after would unnerve a being from within. The irony, however, is that one would not know why mind has become restive. Following which, the scattered mind though remains live to their desire for material gains. It, however, seldom remains conscious about servicing one’s inlaid empowerment tools, but for which, it would be difficult to do justice to the callings of one’s desire. And if one’s fail to make to make it to the desired destination, he/she tries to assuage oneself by subscribing it to the callings of destiny. Seldom does one realise that one’s own impoverished empowerment tool holds the key to failure.
Often our sense of ego plays the devil in the whole game plan. For, it is susceptible to identify itself with indwelling tendencies and unmindfully makes it the defining principle. Also, it also remains vulnerable to get caught up to the tempting influences of seeming world, and sets it as the dream destination. Entrapped thus, it fails to remain alert about invoking one’s discriminating faculty for due diligence. Having thus ignored the most profound empowerment tool of mind, its sense of orderliness gets compromised. It then becomes vulnerable to unmindfully pick up inappropriate leads, and with obvious consequences.
It, therefore, becomes incumbent upon us to override all the chaotic influences playing in the mind through conscious efforts, and ensure holistic development of the self. Otherwise, we will be subject to unwanted twists and turns in life. See how the inflated ego of a man keen to grow spiritually, materially, and otherwise, is not able to register any significant progress.
let us look at his astrological pointers. The person is born in Aries lagna, a fiery and movable sign, with its lord Mars in the 9th house, incidentally again a fiery sign. It speaks of a highly ambitious person, by nature impulsive, aggressive, and the one who jumps into action without applying proper forethought. Mars locks horns with expansive Jupiter, intelligence signifying Mercury, and mind indicating Moon. In the first place, it speaks loud of being high on ego, who is stuck to his own self-assumed parameters. Also, he may not pay heed to advice and counsel of others. Second, he has a restive mind not allowing him to remain focused for long. Also, he would be over critical of others especially if their opinion would be at variance with his. Third, he is temperamental, whereby he is not able to gel well with others. Moon opposed to Mercury and Jupiter accounts for his impaired reasoning and judgment, as well his volatile emotionality.
Accordingly, he was advised to get over his mental maladies first if at all he wishes to evolve, as would the following Indian maxim suggest: “A man may have received grace of God, of the teacher and the holy man; but if he does not have the grace of mind, the journey of life shall be full of unwanted twists and turns”.
Fact remains that his mental infirmities often land him into serious problems because of his own indiscretions. Once he asked me, how to work upon his ego. He was advised to repose faith in Guru and follow his instructions in right earnest. Immediately, he shot back, my heart is inclined to accept your advice, but my buddhi does not let me surrender my identity. I had to explain that what he perceives as his buddhi, is actually his ego playing the devil.
