- The feeling of being seized is the more prominent Rubric of Phos.
- Seized means captured or taken hold of suddenly or forcibly. She feels whatever she is doing is under compulsion of the circumstances and therefore internally not happy. She wants to get rid of this situation but the present conditions do not permit.
|
|
|
- The feeling of helplessness is injuring her.
|
|
|
Phos comes under the class of those people whose understanding is slow and it takes them longer time than others to reach the depth of the things.
|
|
|
But since in reality they are very intelligent people, they cannot accept things blindly. Therefore it is impossible for them to act upon the proposals for the remedial measures immediately. They will ask time for it as long as the things are not clear to them.

Dullness, understands questions only after repetition

Dullness, understands questions only after repetition
|
- It is a state of general unawareness, about the surroundings and self as if they don’t know as to what is going on in the atmosphere of which they are also a part. If asked what exactly is their problem and also after they have taken your medicine what about the progress. The reply is they don’t know. And in reply to the question that before coming here what had he in mind to tell him, the reply is ‘Nothing, except that he will answer the questions asked of him.
- This level of understanding is revealed only when the information needed is extracted through questions. The impression one gathers is that otherwise their intelligence remains locked. It reflects properly and correctly only when it is probed by provocations through master keys in the form of specific questions. The reflections are so clear and to the point that one wonders over the stock of knowledge divulged by the persons who apparently look unconscious and dull. There is another condition.
- There is a limit to the quality of answering questions. She will be able to answer correctly only for a short time and to a few questions. Because there after the dullness starts returning and she feels unable to bear any more pressure on her mind.
|
|
Helplessness
|
- It is the absence of the control the mind has on its own actions. (Says, she has no control over her mind) therefore lacks initiative for new adventures and for fresh encounters. For this reason the mind remains inactive and in a state of lying low, without offering oneself for front posts. She is sure that she will not be able to hold things with determination and says, “ I can ’t guarantee that I will stick to my promise”. Obviously if at all one agrees to do something is just opposite to what she actually decides in her mind. This she has to do because the circumstances are compelling and she has no other choice but to accept. Says, “ I knew I was incapable of giving what was being expected from me. I told them then and there but no body listened to me”.

The remark continues, “ It is all nonsense to have children, family fiends etc. It is all a strain, I have no interest in these things. One does not feel free.”
|
|
Anxiety, others, for
Del, obscene, action of which she had not been guilty, accuses herself (1)
|
- Phos is full of contradictions.
- On the one side, is her indifference and on the other the nobleness of the mind.
- She tries to prove by her actions that she is a noble person.
- P: “Dr. please hurry up. It is Sunday today. I must reach home at the earliest. Who knows, when someone knocks at your door? It is bad not to be available”.
- P: “ I am already accused of being absent from home. They say, God knows where I go”.

|
Desire numerous, various things
Cina, Phos
|
- The other side is that she is full of desires for variety of things. She wants to be update in the possession of things in keeping with the latest fashions.
|
|
|
|
- She wants to acquire all those qualities which can attract others.
- The quality of magnet is to attract iron and for this at times when she feels like doing so she can go to the extent of borrowing things from everyone.
|
|
Reserved
Delirium, quiet
Secretive
|
- Fixed in her nature is to remain reserved. It means the habit of keening things to herself and giving minimum exposure to her inner feelings, (Opposed to Naked, wants to be).
- And over and above it is her secretiveness which means the habit of keeping certain things sealed in the mind which she will not divulge to anyone under any circumstances and at no cost.
- He is hypocrite. Because the people cannot understand what exactly he is. There is a sharp contrast found in her nature so far as Sympathies and Apathies are concerned
|
Phos has both rubrics
|
Homesickness
Del, island is on a distant (1)
Dictatorial, command
talking with the air of
Mildness
|
- Likewise on the one side she is Home-sick. Feels as if she is far away from home. And on the other side is total un-attachment (Indifference, love of nothing). Generally these people remain misunderstood , except by a few intimate friends.
- One of the biggest contrast is to be found in the style of her talking which is permanent, and unalterable.
- Whatever may be the circumstances, the tone will be with the air of command although (Undertakes things opposed to her intentions, Helplessness , Fear, men dread of) in her actions, an air of submission is prevailing . When objected to, she says, either of the two things, “Perhaps my tone is like this, actually I have no intention of doing so.” (i.e. I did not mean so) Or, “ It is only you people who think about me in these terms as all of you are opposed to me.” Here she is trying to make secret of her intention as she is helpless. In fact, she will like to command everything.
|
- Del, island is on a distant (1). Here Sehgal has changed this rubric. Yhe original form is "Del, island, happy is on a distant (1)
- Fear, men, dread, of: Phos is not under this rubric
|
| Delirium, business, talks of
Business, talks of
Desire exercises, for
Fear, exertion, of
|
There is another contrast. On the one side, she shows concern for business. (Business means main occupation) and a desire to keep her limbs moving where as on the other hand, she feels the strain of exertion, if asked to do anything
|
|
| Phos is the remedy of contrary states
|
Another contradiction in her character through many other rubrics like
|
Sadness, Weeping and
vs
Del, floating in air
|
She thinks on the one hand that she is not poor in anything and that to fulfil her every desire is within her reach. But again when she thinks thatshe is not free to exercise her will and is working under compulsive circumstances she concludes that to imagine that a person is not deficient in anything is like floating in the air.
It is deceiving one-self. In the end she realizes that the best thing for her is to have a broad mind and keep cool in all circumstances.
