KATHAM️
We shall explore🔭 the proactive🥊 subtleties🔬 🌫 tonight🕤 of recurring〰️troubleshooting 🏹processes in our lives. Most people👥 use the word “hope”🤞as if it’s an external influence! However, for a sincere seeker👀, only a 🔍crystal-like🧐perspicuity-based🤓self-assurance can lead to a pro-active🤜 approach to life, which others may refer to as hope🤞 <āṣā>.
Thus, for us 👩🎓seekers👨🎓, what’s in store tonight✨ from 9:29PM 🕤 (moonrise🌖) onwards is this month’s opening for a clear 🕵️♀️perception-based🕵️, 🚴♀️self-propelled🏂 & pro-active <āṣāḍa> 🚧troubleshooting🚧quad <san-kaṣṭa-hara caturti>.
Each of the 12 or 13 san-kaṣṭa-hara caturtis every year have their own unique significances, while they also have some recurring common features, which we will decipher first. All of them re-awaken us to the fact that what we call as “obstacles in our path” are only a matter of our mis-perception. In reality, everyone of the so-called “obstacles” are actually potent possibilities & opportunities that life bountifully opens up for us.
Note that these complimentary & periodic self-maintenance options always occur on the fourth day after our own mind🌝 had the monthly opportunity🌕 to peak in its committed devotion <bhakti> to whatever we might have been fully engaged in. In the beginning stages of our spiritual evolution as a seeker of the most important zeroth-order (or rather inner-order!) truths, the nature of our mind is still fickle.
In fact, whether we’ve carefully observed it or not, there’s a regular monthly cycle (recognised unfortunately only by the smarter amongst us: women, though it’s a gender-neutral asexual phenomenon) to the workings of even our seemingly complex mind. We can actually perform this exercise of noting📝down our most dominant feeling each day 🗓 of the year, as part of our sādhanā🧰 (daily practices), & observe a certain pattern to these 😧😃☹️😁😨😂😡🤣... feelings/experiences once a month, despite refining influences of our higher-order harmonics & other such finer influences too.
In fact, left to itself, our mind perceptibly changes its disposition ~every day & undergoes a bigger change ~once every 2.5 days. Syncing with these natural cycles aids & accelerates our trip to realise our oneness with nature <yōgic🧘🏻♀️yātrā>. In this sense, every san-kaṣṭa-hara caturti, our mind recovers from its temporary hallucination that our soulful consumption is a 🤒disease🤢.
Our mind then stops🛑 its stupid & futile attempt to act as a 👻death-trap☠️ for the soul! Hence, they’re wonderful night-breaks (sic) every month, as part of our regular maintenance schedule from the very base of our roots <mūl-ādhārā> to effectively troubleshoot our own apparent yet fleeting mind-soul conflict between our emotional & spiritual needs in our lives.
In particular, tonight’s āṣāḍa śani san-kaṣṭa-hara caturti is a time when our mind is labouring through a disciplinary regimen to get out of its illusions <rāhu> about our own intellectual prowess & spiritual growth. It’s time to train our mind to move on from the stupidity of hard work to effortlessly dancing through our jobs & chores through love😍 for our work & joy😊 in executing it.
Moonrise🎑tonight@9:29🕤PM IST is Xtra special for self-troubleshooting as it’s āṣāḍa śani🪐san-kaṣṭa-hara🐘caturti. Moreover, as the spiritual🕉Sun☀️transits from🟢mercurial🧠Gemini♊️ to🥹lunar🌖Cancer♋️, it’s karka sankrānti (कर्क संक्रान्ति) tonight, July 16th, 2022 @11:11 PM IST. Occupying the sign of ourSelf (the Sun)’s🌞exaltation currently is our illusion (rāhu). Hence, may you benefit by clicking here to 🎧listen👂 to & relish the unique interpretation of every word of this powerful song honouring our fantastic ability to creatively imagine💭& innovate, powerful ammunition for troubleshooting of all kinds.
