Chanting is the next stage, wherein with constant chanting you start moving beyond the mind. Always remember, joy is always found when you are no more trapped in your mind. And when you feed, you are adding positive karma to the reservoir of your karma, known as Sanchit karma.
Sanchit karma is your bank balance of all karma that you did in many past births. Prarabdha karma is just a small part of Sanchit karma, and in this birth it is only the Prarabdha karma that you will face. In short, Sanchit karma is the whole book of your total karma of all births and rebirths, while Prarabdha karma is just a chapter of the book.
By reciting and chanting, you improve your Prarabdha karma, and by feeding the poor, by feeding the animals and birds, you improve your Sanchit karma. See how deep and beautiful astrology can be. The annual transit of planets impacts the Prarabdha karma, while the placement of planets in your natural birth chart signifies the Sanchit karma. By doing the suggested remedies, you will be able to improve both your Sanchit karma as well as your Prarabdha karma.
It all depends on how faithful, consistent, deeply devoted, and focused you are on improving the quality of your life. Always remember, the quality of life is not based on what mobile you use or what brand of car you drive. The quality of life is based on the quality of your thoughts.
There is a difference between standard of living and quality of thoughts. You may upscale your standard of living through money and power, but you will be able to upscale the quality of your life only when you start focusing within, when you start focusing on your self-growth. It is only through the path of self-growth that you can improve the quality of your thoughts. And when thoughts start changing for good, life also starts changing for good. A thought is a thing.
Focus on improving the quality of your thoughts. Start meditating, start chanting, and start helping those who deserve your help. Remember, my fellows, we are visitors on this planet. We are here for 90 or 100 years at the most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.
Life is short, so get up and get going. My father died at the age of 47. Until the age of 47, he lived his life by devoting himself to books. He wrote several novels and books, and he was one of the famous journalists in Mumbai. He lived with Osho, he interviewed Osho, and he also was a great astrologer. But suddenly, at the age of 47, while he was writing an article, he died with a massive heart attack. He was only 47.
So life is short. You never know when the exit call will come. And so ignore all the negative men and women, my fellows. All these negative men and women are in your life just the way they are in my life. These people will always try to pull your legs, these people will always try to ridicule you. But all these people are going to go to hell. You know why? Because their negativity will drag them.
It is an irony that many people who want to learn astrology comment so negatively, so cheaply. You tell me, will these people ever become good astrologers? Never. Because to become a good astrologer, you need to have a pure heart; you need a spiritual touch.
I love you all who are following me so closely for so many days and months. God bless you.
Jai Shree Ganesha. Jai Guru.
