Let’s Empower Ourselves With The 8 Powers (Part 2)

Spiritual Message On Navratri - October 11th to 19th (cont.)

4. Power to Discriminate - When we are in a situation where we have to choose between right and wrong, truth and false, our intellect should be pure and filled with this power, that helps in the situation in different ways and sometimes in taking the right decision after that. In this a magnifying glass is shown, which helps check the quality of different jewels and differentiate between true and artificial ones.

5. Power to Judge – This power helps the intellect take all decisions positively and correctly for the soul and make right judgments about life. This helps in the right way of living and always helps in moving ahead correctly in different ways in life and helps us perform correct actions, speak correct words and think correctly in the situation. This power is shown in spirituality with a weighing scale that balances both sides, which symbolizes judgment.

6. Power to Withdraw - This is the power that helps us detach from our relationships and also all our actions at different times in the day and concentrate our mind and intellect in meditation, on God – the supreme point of divine consciousness and experience peace internally. In this a tortoise is shown, which has the ability to withdraw and keep itself and all its sense organs completely under its shell at different times in the day, just like we do in meditation, withdraw from our sense organs.

7. Power to Pack Up - This is the power that helps us move from one scene in life to another, without carrying any burden of the previous scene in our mind and intellect and easily forgetting the previous scene and whatever negative we have experienced in it and also not becoming over attached to any positive scene in life. This power is depicted with packed luggage, which is how our consciousness should be throughout the day, always free from any negative baggage or attachment to any positive memory of any situation.

8. Power to Co-operate - This is the last power which helps us in creating compassion and harmony in relationships by doing good for others and helping them move ahead and succeed in different situations in life and also co-operate with them without letting our self-interest interfere in that. The power to co-operate is depicted by a picture of a mountain being lifted by various people together.
