There is orderliness in nature, which is why such a complex organism, with all its myriad field players in chorus, has been doing its round with such precision. If the Sun has to rise at a specified point of time as mandated by nature, it will rise exactly at that very moment, and with no scope for making any exception even to the level of micro second.

likewise, there’s a sense of orderliness in human construct too, which has to essentially move in conformity with a larger orderliness of nature. For, life is not simply sourced to nature driven forces. Also, it’s nourished and sustained by nature’s resources, and which holds the key to all aspects of human dynamism.

The paradox, however, is that whereas nature’s field players are to strictly follow the predefined course mandated by nature, human beings enjoy freedom of making choices. The obvious implication is that nature’s orderliness is beyond aberration. Human beings, on the contrary, remain vulnerable to ignorantly interfere with the orderliness within. Following which, they become out of sync with the larger orderliness of nature, evidently to one’s detriment.

Truth of life is that by birth, we are all born imperfect that are characterised by limitations of mind, which can be put into two categories. First, in line are constitutional limitations under the spell of Maya, which is intrinsic to human construct. That puts us under five types of limitations – limited creativity; limited vision and knowledge; loss of sense of fullness which in turn breeds in craving tendencies; limitation of time; limitation exercised by law of causation and that of space. Next in row are individual-specific limitations, varying from person-to-person, as a sequel to cause-effect chain that drives our lives. This again is fallout of constitutional limitations.

Consequently, we’re invariably born with a preconditioned mind that keeps us stuck to predisposed limits, which narrows down our scope vision, not making allowance to explore beyond. So, ordinarily, we do have exposure to the dynamics of life in holistic terms. Second, we do not care to explore the dynamics of inner frame of mind, which serves as prime-mover of a being. And it needs no elaboration that for want of being conversant with the working pattern of the instrument of mind, more often than not we fail to use it efficiently, and with obvious consequences.

Here a brief look into the construct of mind becomes imperative, which comprises of three operational tools – Buddhi, Ahamkara, and Manasa. They are primarily designed to function in coordination with each other as one integrated whole. In this scheme of things,Buddhi is assigned to deliberate upon indwelling desire trends as well as inherent habit tendencies and filter off the undesirables. Also, it discriminates upon the outer field date gathered by Manasa. Following due diligence, Ahamkara is supposed to take the call and direct Manasa to accordingly act upon. If mind is allowed orderly function exactly as mandated, one would be able to conduct prudently with ease and comfort.

The irony is thatAhamkara often identifies itself with indwelling tendencies and make them the defining principles of life. Also, it often takes tempting influences of seeming world on its face value and lets Manasa react and respond on instinctive judgment. In both cases, Buddhi is sidelined. Consequently, we fail to invoke our most profound empowerment tool. Ostensibly, we become a victim of our own making.

let us now look at the astrological markers pointing to the preconditioning of a person’s mind, whose comfort level remained compromised all his life. The Sun opposite Saturn points to indwelling seeds of fear and insecurity, a negative mindset, and low confidence level. This doesn’t allow him to take challenges head on, nor carries the spirit necessary for timely initiative.

So, he is left behind his contemporaries in life. Mars crossing path with Uranus makes him temperamental. Mind signifying Moon locked in adverse formation to Venus makes him emotionally volatile, whereby he gets over exercised even on trivial issues and stretch beyond due. Intelligence signifying Mercury ill-disposed to mischievous Neptune makes him stuck to his illusionary perceptions. It also accounts for his impaired reasoning and judgment. This tells upon his inter-personal relationship skills. Therefore, he has neither grown career-wise thus far, nor has been happy in his family life.

I wish he wakes up and works towards orderly functioning of mind, and his life may turn fulfilling.
