then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.

Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
If you trust auspicious time and astrology so much, then when a family member
suffers from a heart attack, why do you immediately rush him to the hospital?
Why don't you first check the auspicious time and then leave for the hospital and
get him operated only after his horoscope matches with the doctor?
