Hardev’s Immediate Inquiry 7

7. The result of the inquiry at this time is whether the work The term 'work' or 'business' here refers to a specific endeavor or project the seeker has in mind will be settled properly or not. There is a fear regarding one's honor or reputation. In such a state, travel also occurs. There remains a hidden anxiety; sometimes one thing comes to mind, and sometimes another. In such a condition, expenses are particularly high. There is a secret desire—when will relief or fulfillment come? Now, the period of decline is about to pass, and a superior period is about to arrive. However, there is a delay in the work. One should have a worship ceremony performed for their Ishtadev A personal tutelary deity or favored god. For the sake of the ancestors, it is best to offer sweets, clothing, raw milk, and water to the Peepal tree Ficus religiosa, considered sacred in Hindu tradition. For several months, fortune has been diminished—that is to say, mediocre. By performing the worship, there will be the acquisition of wealth, the obtaining of a livelihood, and the removal of the grief that takes the form of suffering. This great anxiety that exists now will pass; the work will be done according to your wishes, though with a slight delay. The work had gone out of control; the current state is mediocre.
