Power to decide allows taking clear, quick, accurate and unbiased decisions.
Raja Yoga meditation provides this strength and clarityof the intellect through greater self-understanding and a detached perspective.
The one who is using this power makes a statement that " I trust myself and I am clear that my actions are right and will bring success. I am prepared to stand by my choice and to receive the consequences."
Faith – For this, one needs to be above the influence of situations, the emotions and the opinion of others and have faith in God’s power.
Balance– Balance of love and law, firmness and flexibility, cheerfulness and maturity, logic and intuition sharpens the power to take accurate decisions.
Wisdom – one also needs a clear wisdom of what is right and what is wrong.
Surrender– this power requires total surrender of intellect that is to be completely free from any attachment to the outcome of the decision. "Duty is your responsibility, the result is not your concern" (Thus speaks God in Bhagvad Gita)
Goddess Saraswati–
Goddess
of Godly knowledge is the bestower of this
power.
She is dressed in white for cleanlinessand
her vehicle – peacock, is represents beauty and purity.
She carries with her religious scriptures in one hand,
the rosary which is the memorial of perfect spiritual beings in another.
She also plays the Sitar to bestow godly knowledge to the world.
She takes her strength to act decisively from God’s instructions (scriptures) and
by looking to role models (rosary)
whose decisions were naturally powerful, pure
and victorious.
