![]() ![]() This, in the first place points to her scattered brain not able to remain focused for long. Intelligence signifying Mercury is ill-disposed off to Uranus as well as Jupiter. Also, it gives a negative orientation to her thought process. Saturn placed opposite the Moon, and also crossing path with Mars, makes her habitually suspicious, impatient, irritable, and argumentative. She can’t take any advice kindly if it is not in conformity with her self-defined perceptions. Habitually an escapist, she would not acknowledge truth on its first appearance, and continue passionately pursuing her self-defined perceptions on hope against hope. That makes her stuck to self-assumed whims and fancies. The luminaries, the Sun and Moon are ill-disposed off to each other, both locking horns with mischievous Neptune. Let us now look at her astrological pointers. She is yet to find out someone who may prove true to her 25 points check-list. She detests following well settled societal norms but does not know how to go about either. Trying to be a perfectionist by her self-defined parameters, she is actually stuck to her self-delusions, distanced from ground reality, and not open to look beyond. So goes the saying: “Watch your thoughts, they become words watch your words, they become action watch your actions, they become habit watch your habits, they form your character watch your character, it defines your destiny.”Ī case in point is that of a lady in her late forties and yet not settled in life. One could thus figure out the basic fabric of mind’s making with a fair amount of precision, as energy knows no bias, and make necessary amends. For, it is based on the energy mapping of the cosmos at the time of one’s birth, which serves as a measure of Karmic imprints carried over from the past. Here comes the role of Astrology, which may help identify and overcome mental limitations. And in egotistical overdrive, often one does not feel the necessity to invoke buddhi for due diligence. The irony, however, is that often, our ahamkara (the sense of ‘I’ consciousness), identifies itself with the inherent mind-trends, and then gets tempted to passionately pursue them. But bear in mind buddhi does not play out involuntarily. For, intrinsic to buddhi is the sense of dispassion, applying which, we may judge things aptly, and accordingly make necessary amends. If, however, we invoke our buddhi (the faculty of discriminate intelligence), we could filter off the undesirables and make a reasoned choice in life. Should we just leave ourselves to the usual thought flow of mind, we remain stuck to their implications. The question now is: Are we just a slave to our indwelling Karmic imprints? Paradoxically, the answer is both yes and no. The habits and attitudes define the quality of efforts put in. According as the desires nursed, mind excites corresponding thoughts, which then gravitate following reflection in the laboratory of mind, translate into action. These impressions involuntarily define individual specific belief patterns, which holds the key to inherent desire-trends, habits and attitudes. ![]() For an answer, a look into the chemistry of mind becomes imperative.Įach mind primarily gets going on the premise set by a stockpile of Karmic imprints carried over from past, as a sequel to cause-effect chain driving all actions on the part of a being. The question now is: What accounts for varying thought trends of an individual, characterising each being as unique? Even twins are found to be exhibiting varying mind-tends. So it is said: “As you think, so you become.” Evidently, the character and content of thought define the way we conduct in life, which in turn, account for the fruits of action we become due for. What we are tempted to target in life, or the way we respond or react to external promptings are guided by indwelling thoughts. If he did exist, he is thought to have lived in the 6th century BCE.Perception drives a being, which is characterised by thoughts playing through the mind. The historian Durant writes, “Lao-Tze, greatest of the pre-Confucian philosophers, was wiser than Teng Shih he knew the wisdom of silence, and lived, we may be sure, to a ripe old age – though we are not sure that he lived at all” (652). The name by which he is known is not a personal name but an honorific title meaning `Old Man’ or `Old Teacher’ and there has been countless speculation as to whether an individual by that name ever existed or whether Lao-Tzu is an amalgam of many different philosophers. He is best known as the author of the Tao-Te-Ching, the work which exemplifies his thought. Lao-Tzu (also known as Laozi or Lao-Tze) was a Chinese philosopher credited with founding the philosophical system of Taoism. Watch your character it becomes your destiny."
