Keep your mind in shape

Published on: 

We all begin life with a sense of freedom ingrained in our minds, which involuntarily brings in the urge to live on one’s own exclusive terms. The same would be true about all others. And the fact that each being is born unique exhibiting varying mind and desire trends, conflict of interest becomes inevitable. Evidently, life does not necessarily move to one’s asking. And yet, we wish to have a smooth run of life in all comforts. HowIJ

It will be possible only when we know how to relate well to the world around, transgressing all individual limitations. For, none of us is born competent enough to meet one’s existential and aspirational needs all by oneself. Naturally that calls for due support from the collective existence. That, however, would not be possible unless we appreciate other’s sensibilities and concerns as much as our individual urges.

That calls for conducting appropriately in life, the stage for which is set by our minds. For, mind drives all conducts on our part. What we do in real terms are first visualised and articulated in our minds before being put into action. It needs no elaboration that if ever our minds fail to visual our initiatives and responses in the right perspective, we will pick up inappropriate leads, and with obvious implications. We, therefore, need to keep our minds in proper shape, so as to come out with our optimum best.

Remember, mind has its own chemistry quite in contrast with our physical-self. So far as our physical working is concerned, the more the efforts, better would be the results.  On the contrary, more relaxed the mind is, more realistic, creative and productive it becomes. For, it then spontaneously comes out with its intelligent best. Thought process then remains easy, simple, free from any preconditioning whatsoever, and worth dispassionately picking up the most appropriate leads.

The paradox, however, is that invariably we all are driven by a complex thought process, which complicates what could have been otherwise solved in a simple way. As a consequence, we keep moving in circles with no end in sight, often loading ourselves with self-created problems. The reason: our preconditioned minds, coming as it may as carry-over from the past, narrows down our vision.  Naturally, what remains outside the precincts of our self-believe world, goes unnoticed. Ostensibly, truth often goes ignored, and with obvious consequences.

It, therefore, becomes incumbent upon us to watch our mind-trends, identify and acknowledge the loose ends, and then fix them. The irony is that our ego often does not allow us to reach out the inner realm of mind to dispassionately figure out our infirmities. Here, astrology can offer the right lead, for it knows no bias.

let us now see how the complex thought process of an otherwise well-educated man has been responsible for vitiating his marital life. He, instead of creating congenial ground for happy marital life by addressing his own habit tendencies, has been unsuccessfully playing all tricks in his hand to tame his better half. The most interesting part of this man is that he himself has a fair knowledge of astrology. But instead of trying to figure out the real reason behind his problem, he is busy identifying the right time-slot that would be suited to tame his partner. let us now look at the man’s astrological pointers.

The sun is placed adverse to the planet of limitation, saturn, uranus, mind-signifying moon, emotionally oriented venus, and wisdom indicator jupiter. The implication is that he has a conditioned mind, stuck to his self-defined whims and fancies. He has a negative mindset that habitually keeps grudging and grumbling and finding fault with others, and would not care for others’ sensibilities and concerns. He has a swaggering ego, not open to listening and counsel. He is judgmental, temperamental, and unconventional, someone who defies established societal norms at will as a matter of right. He is emotionally volatile. He is too much touchy and sensitive and gets stuck even over trivial issues, which he stretches for long, beyond their due. Moon in the sign cancer, placed opposite venus, accounts for his unpredictable mood-swings. On top of that the intelligence signifying mercury is conjunct headless ketu, and also placed adverse to mars. That accounts for his restless mind, which makes him mindlessly chase his make-believe fictional ideas. And the result is there for all to see. I wish he wakes up even now and tries to expand his vision, his life will turn into a pleasant experience.
