CHILDREN'S SECTION

THE DOCTRINE OF ETHICS

The poetry of the unimaginative,

the passions of the inhibitive,

the failing archery of the hunter

are wasteful vanities.

from the book: "The Doctrine of Ethics" 

COUNTING THE YEAR

Dear Children

Imagine the archer riding on a horseback pursuing noble goals. This is the symbol of Sagittarius, which is very inspiring. The horse is white like a cloud moving swiftly. The horse indicates an active body full of life and willing to cooperate. The man pursues noble targets, one after the other.

Aspiration is the fundamental fire that initiates progress. The fire of aspiration is represented by the bow and the arrow, which are set to hit the target. When men have noble aspirations in life adequate fire ignites in oneself and enables moving forward. When this aspiration is supported by an active and agile body it is easier to pursue noble goals.

Teenage is the best time in life to settle for certain noble aspirations. When it is so done the teenage vitality will not defuse into food, drink and entertainment. It gets focussed. The focussed vitality is like the horse set on the path pursuing a noble goal. It enables travel, and life would be one of achievements, not for one self but for the fellow beings.

Sagittarius suggests setting on a noble pursuit. May you do so early in life.
