Influences on us

 Ardra star.

What better influence can I think of, if I like to ponder about “what influences my thoughts, the most?” ( thoughts become my words and actions, in_turn influencing my destiny( future karma?). Ardra is supposed to be the most powerful star which influences us most, on this day, annually.

Intense situations  are like heating up an iron rod to influence/make it a little easier for bending/straightening/etc.  Cold rods don't  yield to mere pressures, and may just break. 

Stubborn mind? Unyielding to any kind of appeal, begging, pleading, reasoning, requesting, etc? No influences. 

Extreme-situations influence individuals according to their fear factor related to that situation,  ( powerful minds get badly shaken, by a cocroach thrown at them 😜).....

Why the-hell should I even bother to find out “what, when & how….I get influenced by something? “  ( don't bother ! 🙏… the whole eternity is waiting infinitely for you…👍… no hurry 😜)

( me personally….. tried to even look at it as….. “hey?   Is that god-foresaken damn thing called moksha/liberation/enlightenment/whatever_nonsense/😡😡… is, all about….becoming free-from all kinds of possible situational-influences on me? My mind? My “being”???? …  😰… I just ended up adding the-influence of yet another-doubt 🤣🙏)

Phases of moon influence water bodies ( human body has some sizable quantity of water in it) 

Brightest star, Ardra, influences earth, annually once….like it does today, 13th jan, 2025. 

Pressure cooker influences that  stubborn daal, pigeon_pea, breaking down its particles …. And I am a fool to misconstrue it as pakwathaa/well-cooked, when merely  “mashed” by higher temperature with water ( gas problems,  the atma of daal….. in stomach tells me “I don't  yield to higher temperature… I just lose my particles… I get cooked only with affectionate warmth of low heat 😜)

If my sense of discrimination is still un_cooked or not properly tamed, am I not a victim of my-own-influences of my imbalanced-mind? ( a youth was mentally ill. The parents were told “get him married. He will become okay “ … parents faced a paradoxical situation: which girl will yield to marry a mad fellow? Unless, he gets married, how can he get qualified enough for an ideal bride? 🤣)

Influentially yours,
