Row Row Row Your Boat Gently DOWN The Stream

Imagine a gentle river flowing down from left to right. Nice easy river, no bends, no cuts, happily flowing down as per its natural slope. Now if a boatman wants to reach the other side of the river. But he decides to row up the stream. He is going to be stressed out. He is always pushing, forcing himself, wanting things to work out for him against a downward current.
Something that is going to take an effort to row his boat upstream. It's tiring in a way, no matter any rest would fix. And this is how most of us try to live our life. Thinking that resistance as a signal to try harder and break that resistance and give that fragile ego a boost/push.
Sooner exhausted and cursing his luck and the divine for not helping him out reach his goal. Some part of the exhaustion is going to be from doing it out of rhythm with life's own timing.
Imagine the same boatman now decides to row down the stream to reach the bank. It becomes a cakewalk. Nature aligns with him and he is well supported. Less energy expend.
The ancient systems have a word for this and it is called as Rta - the cosmic order. No one violates the Rta. People just obeyed and aligned with Rta. In astrological parlance it could be found out using Dashas and planetary placements. You would easily know when the timing is right for you to move on.
If there is some area in your life where you are forcing something whose season has simply not arrived and mistaken the resistance for a signal to push harder, then wake up now. You might not be aligned and maybe pushing in the wrong direction
