Menon Astrology

For years, many of us were taught that progress comes from pushing harder.

“I am doing this.”
“I must make this happen.”

Only Effort matters. Discipline matters. Ownership matters.

 

But there’s a subtle trap: the belief that everything depends solely on us.

 

Look at nature.
A flower doesn’t force itself to bloom.
Your heart doesn’t force itself to beat.
The sun rises. The seasons shift.

 

Complex systems function through alignment — not strain.

 

In the Bhagavad Gita, there’s a powerful idea: actions unfold through larger forces, yet the ego claims, “I am the doer.”

 

The Taoism describes — effective action without unnecessary force.

 

What does this mean for professionals and leaders?

 

It means:
• Taking responsibility without carrying ego-pressure
• Acting decisively without over-controlling
• Leading with clarity rather than strain

 

Try a small experiment:

 

For one day this week, work as usual — but internally drop the tension of “everything depends on me.”

​​

• Does efficiency change?

• Does stress reduce?

• Does the body feel different?

• Does speech become more intentional?

• Does your clarity improve?

• Do conversations become calmer?

• Does decision-making feel lighter?

 

Sometimes, the deepest transformation comes not from doing more — but from relaxing the Self.

High performance doesn’t always come from pushing harder.

 

Sometimes it comes from aligning better, the larger and sustainable intelligence are already at work.
