From the Sacred India Tarot, the Six of Pentacles; from the Land Sky Oracle, Passion (Kali):
After forty-four days of meditating, Siddhartha Gautama experienced an awakened mind - a wisdom, compassion and clarity that is now called enlightenment. It wasn't that he just had a great idea; he discovered why humans suffer and a way out of that suffering. He could have asked to be treated like a god and paid lots of money, but instead he offered his teachings freely. This card asks if we will control or be controlled by our money, possessions and time. As Amos Russel Wells wrote, "There are only two kinds of men among all that live, the men that live to get, and the men that get to give." Kali (Passion) is the fierce, protective form of the Hindu mother goddess. Her name is derived from kala which means time or death; she knows we have limited time to liberated from the ego's demands that cause our suffering. We must not be afraid to tear down so that we can build anew.
