Level of the board: Manipura, self-assertion and power. Row 3 of 8.
Meaning of the cell
No one can guarantee a reward: countless factors influence the outcome of any action. If the player is free from hopes and desires, every moment becomes an achievement for him. By freeing himself from the false stance of gains and losses, he reaches selfless service, and the arrow carries him upward to the human plane. Performing one's duties in the proper manner, renouncing one's self for the sake of what must be done, leads to the loss of identification, which is the main problem of the third chakra. Individuality ceases to exist as a separate unit, becoming part of a greater whole.
