>>512053131>A chariot without a destination just goes in circles. Substance gives the direction. This is fundamentally wrong because this exact issue is addressed by Indra himself in aitreya Brahamana
Once there was a king named Harish Chandra. In pursuit of a son he promised Varuna (brother /friend of Indra and hindu God of oceans and waters/cosmos) a sacrifice . The king gets a son, and his son (named Rohith) grows up. One day, Varuna comes to the king to ask for the son. But rohit knows and escapes. Varuna inflicts harishchandra with a stomach illness. For 3 years Rohita ran directionless and for 3 years Indra visits him disguised as a sage asking him to keep moving forward whenever rohit contemplates returning.
On the 3rd year Indra reveals himself and says this
"The fortune of him who is sitting, sits, it rises when he rises, it sleeps when he sleeps, it moves when he moves, therefore, wander"
Later the sacrifice is cancelled and turns out it was a play by Varuna to get some stuff done by Rohita and some other people for another purposes.
Indra is mostly identified with Rain, lightning, thunderbolts and most importantly, motion. Indra represents the eternal motion and his enemies are allegories to stillness
