Significance of Wearing Opal Gemstone

Opal is a magical stone. The best opals are found in Australia. The colorful shades that it displays – brings a certain magical elements to it.

Opal has NOTHING to do with VENUS but people like to make JODIs – so they say that when you cannot afford Diamond ( Venusian stone) – you should buy an OPAL! It is like if you do not find a good Japanese to marry then you can settle down for a Chinese! And if you ask why? Then the answer they give is ‘ they look alike’!

Now that is not the reality. A Chinese has his own dignity and a Japanese has it’s own. They have their individual qualities that one should not mess up with.

But that is what is happening nowadays! The cunning mind goes on finding SUBSTITUTES- when in reality there CANNOT be any SUBSTITUTES.

Nobody can be a substitute for you and nobody can be a substitute for me. Each person is unique – he is neither superior to anybody and neither he is Inferior to anybody and neither he is equal to anybody – he is simply UNIQUE!

BUT shallow people have found SUBSTITUTES. When in reality OPAL is OPAL. It has its distinctive UNIQUE identity- but shallow people have labelled such a charm such a beauty as a substitute stone for Diamond ( Venus).

In reality Opal has nothing to do with Venus. It is just a charming stone – if you want to appear charming in life, if you want to bring charm to life then this *is* the stone for you!

What is a CHARM? Charm means the power to attract or fascinate others!

Venus is LOVE. You cannot wear Opal to experience love in your life. It is like boarding a train that is going to Delhi and you want to go to Mumbai!

Opal has nothing to do with Love – but Opal has a lot to do with CHARM!

AND so Opal stones are worn to ATTRACT others.

It is a powerful stone when used in certain magic rituals. Also works well in certain black magic rituals. By and by it is a magical stone.

If you want to attract money, place an Opal stone on your shop counter or office desk. If you want to attract somebody you find very interesting to mingle with – then wear an Opal stone.

Understand the fact that Venus is higher love and therefore Venus exalts in Pisces- the 12th sign of compassion and forgiveness!

You cannot ask somebody to wear an Opal stone to experience higher love. It is like trying to experience Mercedes by driving a Maruti!

And so through this answer, I want to make my followers and readers realize that there are absolutely NO SUBSTITUTES for Diamond.

A diamond is a diamond. An Opal is an Opal. To connect them in anyway is to simply devalue their individuality. Never do it and never consider anybody in life as equal or SUBSTITUTES- nobody is equal, nobody is SUBSTITUTE and nobody is inferior or superior – everybody and everything is Unique. Simply unique.

And because people cannot realize the uniqueness- they go on creating many SUBSTITUTES and many notions which in reality is NOT the Truth.

And Truth is dangerous. Truth can shatter all your illusions. But if you are open to let the Truth penetrate into your being than the same TRUTH can bring a great transformation within you.

And real transformation happens only when you are moved within.

Love is a miracle. One of the greatest miracle of life. You can ATTRACT everything but not love. Opal is a limited version – magic is a limited version, it is man made whereas Miracle is God made!

And what is God made – lasts forever! Miracle lasts forever and not Magic!

Magic is man-made. Miracle is GOD-MADE!

And meditation is one of the greatest miracle of GOD – that God has so lovingly shared with HIS children – WE ALL!

MEDITATION: There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new person. – Osho

Wearing an Opal is settling for MAGIC. And I would love to see all my followers to settle NOT for Magic – but for the MIRACLE! Magic is a very poor choice for Miracle!

And so come, and focus on meditating. Always remember – magical powers are easy to gain – but the miraculous powers are the most rarest of rare that one can attain! And it is attained only through SELFLESS SERVICE, through LOVE, through DEVOTION – Jesus never did any magic – but performed many MIRACLES!

Buddha never did any MAGIC – but he performed many miracles – many sick were healed and many miserable people were shown the path….

GREAT things always TAKES TIME – and I would love to see you becoming GREAT and not just good.

Let us move towards the Greatness – always remember the greatest mountain PEAK exists – where there is also the most deepest valley! To attain that which is GREAT – one has to go through many difficulties – he has to go through many TESTS – but always remember GOD tests only those whom HE LOVES the most!

And so in life if you are tested – if you are going through hardships – then remember – GOD LOVES YOU.

And so let the journey towards GREATNESS – continue, God is Great and when you are walking WITH HIM – WITH HIS name in your heart – than sooner or later you will be experiencing the taste of being Great!

Then no gemstones are required – no magic is required – then you are deeply engrossed within and the dance has begin, the music has begin – and the whole universe is made available to you – then you realize that the universe was never locked – it was always open!

Follow Your Bliss And The Universe Will Open Doors Where There Were Only Walls. – Joseph Campbell
Magic is the path of a man or a woman who are weak. Miracle is the path of a man or a woman who have the courage and the strength to turn inwards and instead of depending on others – self-realize the many TRUTHS of this human life!

Magic is a sign of weakness.

Miracle is a sign of tremendous strength that goes multiplying with time!

It is always a matter of choice – what you choose is what you become.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Sun Sign’s Role in Vedic Astrology

No one is superior. No one is inferior. And no one is equal either!

Every individual is UNIQUE. This uniqueness comes from your Sun sign.

Individuality – is Sun. Personality – is your Ascendant. Mentality – is your Moon.

The whole journey of human life is to first drop the Mentality (MIND) then get rid of the Personality (MASK) and finally reach to the SELF which is your Individuality!

Individuality is Dignity. Respectability is Slavery.

Understand the fact and I say it to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers – understand the fact that you are born to live your life – by being yourself.

You are not expected to become a Jesus or a Buddha or a Ramakrishna; you are simply expected to become yourself. – Osho

Just BE. Don’t Become! There is absolutely no need to become like anyone – you are a masterpiece – you are unique – just focus within, discover yourself.

You shouldn’t seek greatness outside. It is present within you. You just need to slowly realize your true nature by experimentation. Listen to your heart and answer your calling. – Osho

Be yourself and that is the most beautiful thing that can happen in your life – when you are just being yourself – flowing naturally…..without bothering who will say what – you are just happy to be yourself!

सहज जियो।
Sahaj jiyo.
Be yourself, live in your own spirit.

People spend a lot of time doing ‘make-up’!

That is okay. But let me tell you all – there is something more within you that can make you look really beautiful and that is your INDIVIDUALITY – your natural flow – you being yourself!

Truth happens to an INDIVIDUAL and NOT to the CROWD. Move as an INDIVIDUAL – let there be more individuality to your being.

Try to find your individuality, your integrity, and make the effort of not compromising. Because the more you compromise, the less you are an individual. – Osho

SUN is your individuality. It is there, it is within you – but you have forgotten what is within you. Instead, you are focusing on the ‘mask’ (personality) which is NOT the real you!

Personality blocks you from letting your individuality well up.

Unless you drop your personality you will not be able to find your individuality. Individuality is given by existence; personality is imposed by the society. – Rajneesh

A woman who speaks and moves around naturally – sounds appealing.

A man who speaks his heart out – sounds appealing. There is no mask, no artificial tone, no ‘plastic face’ but all is so natural, so real – such a person ‘connects’ with the TRUTH – ‘connects’ with GOD – ‘connects’ with LOVE!

I always insist – write an email – but let it be natural. No problem – whether there are any imperfections – in fact, it is these imperfections that can relate you to the one whom you are writing – whenever I receive such emails that may not be PERFECT to certain ‘logical heads’ – but to me those mails are the most beautiful mails – I quickly relate to such mails – I could feel the natural flow – and then I respond! People wonder how come we don’t get any response but certain men and women get a quick response from me?

It has nothing to do with me – it is the natural flow of your mail that calls me – resonates with me – relates with me and then the response comes instantly!

Some men and women get quick responses from me – some don’t get – it has all to do with YOU – the more you are being yourself – the more the response can come!

And it is not just from me – but from anybody with who you want to converse or communicate!

The key is to be natural – be yourself – let there be no ‘mask’ – let there be no ‘artificial’ plastic approach – let it be real – and then the whole universe will respond – God will respond – the stars will respond!

What comes between you and your success – is your ignorance! You can always find a way – but ignorance blocks your consciousness and then you wonder – what is going wrong in my life?

There was a young boy. And was moving around in a beautiful garden with his father. On their way, the boy came across a big rock, he decided to pull up that big rock. The rock was too big and he could not do it. He tried hard. He was perspiring.

The father said, ‘You are not using all your energies.’

The boy said, “You are wrong. I am using all my energy. And I don’t see what more I can do?”

The father said, “You have not asked me to help. That too is your energy. I am sitting here and you have not asked me to help. You are not using all your energy.”

And this is what happens with people. Especially with so-called intellectual people! People who live their whole life by following their HEAD (Logic)!

They try to use all their energy – intellectual/physical and what not! But they forgot to ask for help from the higher realms! Because EGO is there – IGNORANCE is there – and so they simply forgot to ask help from GOD – the Holy Father!

Such people use all kinds of techniques – if you tell them to meditate – they will try to bring many techniques to meditation also! The technique is of the HEAD – it is logical in nature AND meditation is on the other side – where HEAD has absolutely NO role – NO place – but only the HEART – only LOVE – only DEVOTION!

A man who lives through techniques may think he is using all his energies but he has not asked for God’s help. A man who is simply meditating with techniques is a poor man. – Osho

You all have to open up to the divine. Until you continue with techniques – you will remain blocked – the moment you drop all techniques and SURRENDER to GOD – meditation starts flowering – than there is every possibility for you to live as an INDIVIDUAL – who lives by being himself!

Many meditation schools are coming up. They state that they teach meditation!

However, let me tell you all – especially to all my followers – that MEDITATION comes naturally to every human being! What to teach and what to learn! It is within YOU – and I say it to you all – it is within you!

But people try to make a business out of everything. It is better I don’t say much on this.

Once it happened. There was a great Samurai.

One day, a rat got into his Palace. And the rat was not a common rat – he was great trouble. Because he went on damaging many precious things of the Samurai. His wife, his children – his servants – they all were fed up with this rat. They tried many things to get rid of this rat – but no luck.

Then someone suggested an idea. He must be from those intellectual logical head types. He said to the Samurai “ The King has one well-trained royal cat. She knows all the techniques on how to catch a rat.”

The trained royal cat was called for catching the dangerous rat!.

The trained cat entered the Samurai’s Palace. She was well versed with all the techniques – she set on her search for the rat….

The trained cat tried hard. She came with all her art, with all her skills. She tried, but the rat was really extraordinary. He jumped exactly into her eyes! And the cat escaped out. She had never seen such a rat – attacking the cat?!

The cat was trembling with fear. Never had she seen such a dangerous rat. The Samurai and the King’s men were also taken back. They could not believe that a royal cat – well trained with all techniques – cannot catch the rat!

They asked certain wise people of the kingdom – on what can be the solution to catch the rat?

One of the wise men said “ There is a solution. But is difficult to crack.”

“What is it – what is it?” asked the Samurai

The wise man said “ There is one stray cat. She is NOT a trained cat. She does not know any techniques. She does NOT come in the famous category of cats. But she CAN do the job. My suggestion is that you have tried with a famous cat – now you try with this ordinary cat.”

“But what can a plain, ordinary cat do?” asked the Samurai

The wise man said “You just try. I know this cat. She is so ordinary, she does not know a thing. The whole day she sleeps. But there is one thing about her: cats know, the whole country’s cats know that she is very mysterious. The mysterious thing is that she knows nothing about rats, rat-catching, the art, the technique, the methodology, the philosophy – she knows nothing; she has never been to any school or college or university. She is a plain, ordinary cat, but rats are so afraid of her!”

The wise man said “ “Once I went to that cat and I asked, ‘What is your art?’

She simply looked at me, and she had no words to say, and she closed her eyes and went to sleep. And I woke her again and asked, ‘What is your art?”

“She said, ‘I don’t know. I am a cat, that’s enough. A cat is a cat and IS MEANT to catch a rat. What art? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Listening to this – the Samurai agreed to take a chance. The ordinary cat was called for.

The Samurai was not very hopeful because she was really very ordinary, just like any vagabond cat.

She came in and without any skill, she simply went in, caught hold of the rat and brought it out.

Everybody was surprised! The Samurai couldn’t believe his eyes. With such ease, this ordinary stray cat had caught the rat – which a well-trained cat with all her techniques couldn’t do!

The wise man was present – the Samurai asked him what was so special with this ordinary cat?

And the wise man smiled and said “She *is* a CAT. Isn’t that enough?”

And this is what you all have to remind yourself again and again – that just the way catching a rat comes NATURALLY to a CAT – similarly, MEDITATION comes naturally to you all – there is absolutely to need to train yourself – just be natural, just BE yourself!

And that is what INDIVIDUALITY is – to be yourself.

The ‘rats’ are the many problems, miseries, difficulties that you all are trying to address by applying ‘TECHNIQUES’ – you will not succeed but only fail just the way the royal cat failed to catch the rat!

Drop all your techniques – and I say to you all – drop all the logic and enter the shrine of LOVE. Enter the shrine of DEVOTION. Only then can you find the ‘rat’ – only then can you get rid of these ‘rats’ (miseries).

You all have become too skillful, to clever, too artificial – and so ‘rats’ cannot be caught and resolved. The HEAD cannot help you – the HEART can. And the HEART is natural – a man who follows his heart – is natural – a woman who follows her heart – is natural – she can meditate – she can relate – she can resonate with the higher realms of consciousness – because she is NOT applying her HEAD – she is NOT applying any logic – any so-called techniques – she is simply being herself – such a person can experience the divine – can experience true love – bliss and peace within!

Kabir never had to learn meditation. Buddha never had to. Jesus, Muhammed, Mahavir – they never had to learn meditation. It comes naturally.

Then why is it that certain people need to learn meditation?

Because somewhere they have been going wrong – utterly wrong.

Now to rectify and remove this wrong thorn – a new thorn is required. This new thorn is meditation.

Meditation is just like a thorn, because you have become artificial and that artificiality has gone deep into your being. Meditation takes it out; it is medicinal. – Osho

Medicine and Meditation. There is a similarity between these two.

Medicine simply destroys illness. Once the thorn of illness is removed – you start recovering – than you heal!

Meditation simply destroys all your illusions that the monkey mind goes on creating. Once the illusions are removed – you come face to face with the TRUTH – you start healing! Because now you know the TRUTH – now you can relate with HIS love – your Lord – your Master!

Then you are truly in love with your Master – the disciple moving towards the Master….the Master moving towards the disciple…..how to express such a love….such a pure love…..language is poor, words cannot suffice…….

Once you are being yourself, then there is a fragrance to your being. Then there is love – then there is joy, then everything is possible – the key is to drop all the masks, the heads, the logics, the learnings – only then you are REBORN – and that is what Jesus says to the greatest scholar of Jerusalem – “If you want to experience the divine, if you want to experience God – first you have to REBORN.”

Jesus Answered And Said To Him, Truly, Truly, I Say To You, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God.
First, everything has to be dropped, all your EGO, all your notions, all your learnings – only then can your individuality well up and once it wells up – there is NO stopping – the sky is clear and you are ready to fly!

Astrology is astrology. People have given different ‘angles’ to it! Some see it through Vedic angle, some see-through Western, some through some other and so on. But your individuality remains. And so no matter what astrology angle you prefer – how can the importance of INDIVIDUALITY – your SUN be reduced or neglected??

GOD is God. Some praise HIM by reading the Bible, some by reading the Quran, some by reading the Bhagavad-Gita – but does that change GOD to any scale??

I encourage you all to focus on your individuality by dropping your personality (the mask).

The Ego And The Personality Have To Be Dropped, Then You Will Find Individuality Arising…A Feeling Of Uniqueness. Yes, You Are Unique. There Is Nobody Like You, So How To Compare? – Osho
From the beginning society wants you to be like this and be like that. The society would never want you to be yourself – because then you would not listen – then you would not blindly follow the rules that the society forces upon you – then the society cannot dominate you – and so the society always tries its best to tame you. It is the society that gives you the MIND – your MIND is shaped by the society – it is not natural – understand this – and I insist to all my followers – understand this – MIND is NOT natural – it has been given to you by the society and the society would always want you to follow the mind – that way the society feels secure!
Society creates matrix of discipline which work with single motto to make human being like displined robot. They want to create the forces of robot. They don’t want individuality, they feel fear of individuality. – Osho

The society always wants you to compete with others – as if you are a PRODUCT as if you are a MATERIAL – as if you are a lifeless object.

But I tell you all – you are NOT a Robot – You are the most precious living being that God has created with so much of Love!

And so NEVER compare yourself with others – always remember there is NOBODY superior to you and there is NOBODY inferior to you – you are simply UNIQUE!

There is no need of any competition with anybody. UR yourself, and as U R, U R perfectly good. Accept urself. – Osho

The moment you accept yourself you become beautiful. The key is ACCEPTANCE!

Then you can be natural. And when you are natural, when you are moving around naturally – then you look beautiful. One who is natural in his approach – needs no make-up – he or she anyhow looks beautiful! To be beautiful is to be natural!

If you are angry – don’t suppress – let it come out. If you are in love – let that love find a way to express itself.

Suppression is Suicide. Expression is Life.

You can experience the joy of living ONLY when you express yourself! And you would express yourself ONLY when you are being yourself!

You are just to be yourself. Relax! and just be yourself and have the courage to sign your own signature. – Osho

Every SUN sign is beautiful – because of the ‘ingredient’ – it is there – it is within you – all you have to turn inward and explore yourself – discover yourself!

Your SUN is your SELF. It is your Individuality. It is YOU – the real YOU!

And let me tell you all – the SELF within you is beautiful – it is always beautiful!

What blocks you from realizing and experiencing your SELF (SUN) is your MIND (MOON)!

And so, come – come you all, let us meditate and let us all focus on taming this monkey MIND. How will you tame the monkey mind?

My new book “NO MIND – The Journey Beyond” addresses this question and many more. Next month – November the second week, the book will be available on Amazon.

Whenever the SUN is in Higher Degree – especially between 27 to 29 degrees – you always have strong individuality.

Whenever SUN is with RAHU – the real you remain hidden – such men and women always move around with a ‘mask’ – with something that they appear to be – but in reality, they are NOT!

So many factors are there – but I encourage you all to not to get distracted to all these things – these things have been discussed for millions of years – it has been known – but there is something that is yet to be known – yet to be discovered – yet to be revealed and that is – WHO AM I?!

The answer to the question – WHO AM I? is something that only you – yourself can discover.

There was a young man. Nobody knew him. He would walk around and people won’t recognize him. He was such a commoner. Then one day he ‘became’ a policeman. Everywhere he went – people would salute him – because now he was a policeman. By and by ‘policeman’ became his identity. Now the man also starting believing that he is a ‘policeman’ – his ‘identity’ became his answer to the question “Who am I?” – and that is how your ‘identity’ – my ‘identity’ becomes our answer to the question – Who am !?! Our identity comes from the LABEL that we put on our self – somebody is the Police, somebody is a CEO, somebody is a Doctor – the label becomes our identity and our identity is taken as the answer to “Who am I?” The real answer to the question ‘Who am I?” is something else. And it is our ‘duty’ to find the answer through our own efforts – our own ‘journey’ – by turning inwards.

Turn inward while active in the world. We don’t have to give up active living to turn inward. He whose mind turns inward and dives deep within it, gains the infinite. – Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

It is only when you turn inwards that Love can be experienced in its totality – it is only when you experience the light of consciousness that you can know -what Love is!

Once there was a great Siddh Yogi – he helped many people but a certain Ego started accumulating within his being. It happens. Just a little distraction and EGO can take over and you may not even know from where and how it has sneaked in!

But always remember – you may miss – you may forget – you may go wrong – but once the Master holds you – once the Master takes you under His wings – HE never leaves you!

You can leave me. I won’t leave you. Once I catch hold of you, I don’t let go. – Neem Karoli Baba

And so the Master came. And HE came in disguise of a common man. People asked him – ‘what is your name?’ – and the Master said: “ My name is Shiva Nath.”

And so Shiva Nath would come every day to do gardening – there was a small garden in the village and Shiva Nath would water the plants, take care of the trees. Many birds would come and they all would sing and rejoice in the presence of Shiva Nath. Many also came and would play with Shiva Nath – some birds would come and sit on His shoulders. Shiva Nath became the talk of the town – people were amused to find birds coming and sitting on Shiva Nath’s shoulders – nobody has done this kind of thing – it was just impossible – how come the birds don’t fear this man – what is so special in this man? Many such questions would come to their mind.

The Siddhi Yogi also heard about this miraculous thing. His EGO burst up. If that Shiva Nath can do this then I can also – what is so difficult in it! And so he went up to the garden – people were watching Shiva Nath – it was evening time and many birds had come to play with him, many beautiful birds were sitting on His shoulders.

The Siddhi Yogi came and said to Shiva Nath “Let me also play with the birds – I will call them.”

Shiva Nath said, “ Why not – give it a try.”

Siddhi Yogi tried to use all his SIDDHIS and magical powers to attract the birds – to call them – to manipulate them – to make them sit on his shoulders – BUT – no luck! Not a single bird came near him. Such a great Siddhi Yogi – but he cannot do what Shiva Nath so easily was able to do!

The Siddhi Yogi realized that this is something else. He fell upon Shiva Nath’s feet and said: “ I have spent 20 years in attaining Siddhis and I have also attained them and have done many miracles but what you do – I cannot – I cannot – please tell me – who are you?”

Shiva Nath gave him a hand – raised him up.

And then Shiva Nath appeared in His real Swaroop and said “Bhola – you did not recognize me?”

Bhola was the name of the Siddha Yogi – and Siddha Yogi broke down – burst out with tears – people gathered – and Siddha Yogi again fell upon the master’s feet and said “ MASTER – how come I missed to recognize you…..”

And then NO WORDS……Bhola just kept crying, like a child – who sees his father after a long time…..

The Master said “ Bhola, I had to come. Look at you – how much EGO has trapped you. You can do all the miracles and magic of this world by the powers that you have gained. BUT – you cannot attract these birds – you cannot make these birds come to you…..”

Bhola said “ Why….why master?”

The Master said “ Because they will come only when they see, they feel LOVE flowing through you! Your POWERS – your SIDDHIS cannot pull them towards you…..but your LOVE can!”

Bhola got up and gave a hug to his Master – tears still flowing, he said “ Master – what a fool I had been – what a stupid – what an idiot I had been – but YOU – YOU have been so compassionate to come here – just for me – just to help me realize the significance of LOVE – the beauty of LOVE – the strength of LOVE!”

And Bhola remained in the arms of the Master for a while – he simply had no words – it happens – sometimes words fell short – the energy is too much for the words to express!

It is said that from that day – Bhola dropped all his powers – all his Siddhis and just kept walking on the path of LOVE….

Lots of ways to reach God. I choose LOVE.- Rumi

Come. Come you all – let us lose ourselves in LOVE. Let us all meditate – let us spend some time in deep meditation. Focus on your breathing – and while you do so – focus on the holy name of the Lord.

|| Aum Namaha Shivay ||

I know that life is not easy. It comes with all its colors. But you always can make an effort to make your life as beautiful as you can. And you CAN do it – when you learn to WITNESS – WATCH the play of the monkey mind!

The ‘noise’ is always of the MIND! It is strange that you are standing in the quietest place on this planet and yet you don’t experience peace within. And it is also strange that at times you are standing in the same quiet place and you experience so much of peace within! The ‘Outside’ does NOT matter – what matters is the state of your MIND – when the MIND is quiet – you experience peace – when the MIND is restless – you experience anxiety. Focus on your MIND – understand the play of your MIND – just watch – just witness – that in itself is ‘Meditation’.

Just one quality of the Buddha has to be remembered. He consists only of one quality – WITNESSING. This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality. – Osho

This Diwali – I wish and pray for you all – that may there be more light of consciousness in your life – for it is only when there is the ‘light’ of consciousness that you can ‘connect the dots’!

This Diwali – let your ‘Individuality’ find its way – let your ‘Individuality’ well up – let us make a point to make this life as beautiful as we can. Because who knows what is to come after this life?

We must create a science that can fill the inner world of man with glowing health and celestial music – not for any future kingdom of heaven, but fowthis world;” for life on this planet. If this life is bountiful, why worry about any other! – Osho

Life is NOT in the PAST. Life is NOT in the FUTURE. Life is NOW – life is flowing NOW….let us live NOW – moment-to-moment – without regretting the PAST and without worrying about the FUTURE – because PAST is no more and the FUTURE is not yet! NOW is the moment – if you are able to BE HERE NOW – you have made it – you have found the golden ‘key’ to your real growth – real progress!

To Be HERE NOW is to meditate – your meditation will start flowering the day – you are able to BE HERE NOW!

When you are HERE and NOW not jumping ahead, the Miracle has happened. To be in the moment is the miracle. – Osho

If anybody of you asks me – what you should pray on the occasion of this Diwali – than my answer is – “To be able to live in the moment.”

For that is the miracle – the greatest miracle that you can ever experience in this life – AND that is the ability to be in the moment – to BE HERE NOW!

Just learn to – BE HERE NOW and celebrate life to the fullest.

Celebration is the foundation of living – not renunciation but rejoicing. Rejoice in all the beauties, all the joys, all that life offers, because this whole life is a gift of God. – Osho

Celebrate life. Celebrate yourself.

Life is flowing every moment – if you can make a point to – be here now – you can celebrate, you can rejoice, and you can realize the true value of your ‘self’!

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru.

Ascendant vs Chalit vs KP

“Who is more important to you – your Mother. Your Wife or your Children?”

There is no specific answer to this question because Mother has been the very source of your Birth. She is the very source of your Nature, your Qualities. Rashi Chart or Lagna Chart is the source of your NATURE. Your Qualities- Guna.

Wife is your friend, your companion. She knows EXACTLY where you are – she keeps track of your exact position. KP Chart or the Cusp Chart is the source or the key to track the exact HOUSE/Cusp position of your planets.

Children are like flowers. They are Growing, they are constantly CHANGING- they are NOT static. Your Dasha is also constantly changing…it is not static and it is the DASHA periods where CHALIT CHART is precisely useful in realizing the actual affect of a certain planetary Dasha.

So you see – LAGNA CHART or RASHI CHART is purely for understanding the STRENGTH of a specific planet. Venus in Virgo placed in the 6th house in Rashi Chart – will provide you qualities that of Virgo Venus – even if you see the same Venus moving in the sign of Libra in your Chalit or KP chart.

KP chart is the most accurate chart for cuspal positions.CHALIT Chart is the most accurate chart for identifying the results of cuspal position during a certain Dasha.

Mohan’s chart has 3 dimensions in all the 3 charts.

Lagna Or Rashi Chart – Mars is in Sagittarius sign (5th house)

KP Chart – Mars is the 4th house ( Scorpio sign)

CHALIT Chart- Mars is in the Sagittarius sign ( 5th house )

Now Mohan had been visiting many astrologers and some of them have been trying to change his Ascendant by stating that his birth time was not accurate. Because their predictions were not matching – they tried to change his birth time and to this exercise they called – Birth time rectification!

One day Mohan met me and shared his experiences. He said “Astrologers are changing my birth time….”

I asked “ What was the reason?”

He said “ Because they could not match their calculations to the state of my constant shifting home…I have changed my residence every 2 years – but they say how it is possible – because there is no aspect to my 4th house nor 4th house Lord, so if they change my birth time – instead of Leo Ascendant- they will take Cancer as my Ascendant and then their calculations will match…”

Now look closely to the 3 charts position that I had mentioned above.

The Astrologers are looking at Mohan’s Lagna Chart and they see Mars in the 5th house.

Even in Chalit the same Mars is in the 5th house. But in KP CHART the same Mars is seen in the 4th house!

So answer is clear – Mohan’s chart is perfectly fine, his birth time is perfectly fine but because the Astrologers that he visited could not notice the POSITION of MARS in the FOURTH house in the KP CHART – they simply missed to find the reason for his constant change of residence!

Mars in the Fourth House is like a ‘ Rolling Stone’. It brings so much energy that the person cannot stay at one place for all his or her life. He keeps shifting or moving – reason can be anything but movement of residence is seen – the ADDRESS never is the Same!

So KP Chart is helpful in identifying the actual position of the planet. KP astrology is like a COCKTAIL. It is a MIXTURE of Western Astrology and the Indian Astrology. The KP chart is based on the Tropical astrology used by the Westerners. While the same KP method implies the Vedic astrology ingredients that consist of Dasha and Nakshatra. It is a a perfect cocktail that works well when used wisely.

Lagna or Ascendant chart is for Signs.

KP chart is for actual position of the Planet.

CHALIT Chart is to predict the real time Dasha results.

Mohan got married when he was running through the following Dasha: Rahu > Venus > Moon.

Now Mohan’s Moon is in the Sixth house in Lagna chart and also in his KP chart. But in the Chalit Chart – his Moon moves to the 7th house!

7th house – Marriage. Mohan got married exactly when he was running through the Moon Pratyantar Dasha!

If you see the Lagna and KP chart – you may miss to predict his marriage prospects. But by looking at the CHALIT Chart – you can definitely understand how his marriage happened during Moon Pratyantar dasha!

So you see – Mother. Wife. Children. Everybody is of great importance- it just depends on the situation!

Mother (Rashi chart) is your nature.

Wife (KP chart) is your reality.

Children ( Chalit Chart) is the tracking tool of your time progression (chalit) based on DASHA.

In life every thing and every person whom you meet is important. Nobody is useless and nobody is here by accident.

“ You are not born out of accident. The whole has a purpose and it is met through YOU.” – Osho

And so just as in life so is in the science of Astrology- every chart has something to say…something to share….if you cannot listen, if you cannot understand than you are at fault and not astrology.

Mohan was saved. When I shared with him the details of his chart – he realized that his birth time was accurate and there was absolutely no need to change it just because you cannot listen to what the chart is saying!

And so research is going on and it has been going on for millions and millions of years. Thousands of sages and seers have contributed to this research and thousands more will be contributing in the times to come.

Astrology knows no full stop. It is NOT perfected. It is NOT perfect and because it is NOT perfect it is growing, it is ALIVE. Had it been perfect it would have been dead by now.

“I am imperfect.This whole universe is imperfect and because it is imperfect it is GROWING.” -Osho

Only mad people are behind perfection. The wise is aware of the fact that perfection is impossible- Totality is possible. Perfection is a myth. TOTALITY is Real.

“ Be Total. JUST BE TOTAL.” – Osho

Just be total in whatsoever you do. If you are in love – Be Total. If you are angry – Be Total. If you are cleaning the floor – Be Total. If you are washing the dishes – Be Total. No matter what you are doing – Just be Total and you will continue to succeed in all that you undertake.

The key is to be TOTAL. AND that is exactly what I have shared with you all – do not exclude any charts, do not apply weightage to specific charts – TAKE ALL THE CHARTS IN CONSIDERATION- that will give you a TOTAL view of the answers that you seek and then you will be Home.

Krishna says “ Rukmini is like Sugar to me and Satyabhama is like Salt to me.”

Satyabhama is the second wife of Krishna and Rukmini is His wife – but Satyabhama gets angry. Why salt? Why do you relate me with Salt, why not Sugar?”

Krishna says “ You will realize soon.”

The next day – food is served WITHOUT Salt and Satyabhama cannot eat anything. Not a single bite went down her throat. She was fed up – she said to Krishna “ What is this? How can I eat – Without Salt there is absolutely no chance anyone can eat. Life is impossible without Salt. Food is impossible without salt.”

Krishna smiles and says “ So now did you get your answer – why I relate you with Salt? Without Sugar – food is possible. Life is possible. But without Salt- how can you eat – Salt becomes essential- and I have related you with Salt!”

Satyabhama is touched, her heart moves – she quickly moves into the arms of Krishna.

Hare Krishna!

So never compare. Both wives wanted to know who is close to Krishna and so they asked similar kind of question that you have asked – but Krishna made them realize that as much as Sugar is important so is Salt.

Similarly, as much as Lagna Chart is important so is the Chalit and so is the KP chart. You cannot compare – you cannot classify. Astrology is NOT a classified science. Astrology is an ALL INCLUSIVE science.

Hare Krishna.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Moola Nakshatra Four Padas

“First you have to die – only then can you experience the TRUTH, only then can you experience GOD – only then can you experience true LOVE.”

That is the message of KETU’s Nakshatra MOOLA. And that was the message of Jesus – when Nicodemus came on a dark night to meet Jesus.

And Jesus was sitting beneath a tree. When Nicodemus came – Jesus asked “Why have you come to me? What is it that you want from me?”

Nicodemus is one of the greatest SCHOLAR of Jerusalem. Not only he is the most wealthiest person but also highly knowledgeable and yet he had come all the way to meet Jesus on a dark night.

“Everbody is carrying a ‘dark night’ within them and nobody is even aware of it!” – -Osho

It happened with Nicodemus also – he chose a dark night to meet Jesus and yet he wasn’t aware of the ‘dark night’ (ignorance) that was within him.

Nicodemus is a very old man – must be in his late eighties – he had been hearing a lot about Jesus – but it was a risk to meet Jesus during the daylight! Because what will people say? That a great scholar is going to meet a carpenter’s son! That was not possible – going in the day light it was impossible to meet Jesus – and so Nicodemus had come to meet Jesus during the night – a dark night – a no-moon night!

And Jesus asked “ What is that you want from me?”

Nicodemus said “ I want to experience God.”

Jesus says “ Even to meet me you have chosen a dark night – how will be able to face GOD?

Nicodemus says “ Then how can I experience GOD?”

And to this – Jesus looks into his eyes and says “ You have to REBORN.”

Nicodemus says “ What do you mean? I should go back to my mother’s womb?”

Jesus says “ To Reborn – you have to first die. This DEATH is not of your physical body – it is the DEATH of all your EGO, your NOTIONS, your IDEAS – unless this DEATH happens – you cannot REBORN!”

Nicodemus gets down on his knees – he starts crying – whole life was spend in gathering knowledge – whole life was spend running behind respectability – and now this man – JESUS – had brought a certain light of awareness to his whole being – he started shaking – he touched Jesus’s feet – and Jesus blessed Him. With every drop of tear – the old Nicodemus was getting dissolved – and new Nicodemus was taking birth – KETU’s MOOLA NAKSHATRA is the state of this DISSOLVING – DISSOLUTION – unless you DISSOLVE – you cannot EVOLVE!

DISSOLVING is the nature of MOOLA – and you will DISSOLVE only when your ROOTS (MOOLA) are SHAKEN! MOOLA means ROOTS – from the ROOT the ‘DISEASE’ of ILLUSION (MAYA) should be DISSOLVED – that is the whole message of KETU – and that is the whole essence of KETU’s Nakshatra – MOOLA!

“The enlightened man, while alive in the body, is already dissolved. He knows he is no more, he knows he is a nothingness. The dissolution has already happened.” – -Osho

PADA is secondary – primary is the NAKSHATRA in itself. The building is important – the apartments within the building make less impact than the building (NAKSHATRA)! And so the focus should be on MOOLA.

Whenever any PLANET falls in MOOLA – the message is simple – DISSOLVE.

7th house planet in MOOLA – Marriage DISSOLVED.

4th house planet in MOOLA – Happiness from mother – DISSOLVED

5th house planet in MOOLA – Happiness from children – DISSOLVED

6th house planet in MOOLA – Disputes DISSOLVED (It becomes a blessing disguise)

8th house planet in MOOLA – Happiness from In-Laws – DISSOLVED

9th house planet in MOOLA – Happiness from father – DISSOLVED

10th house planet in MOOLA – CAREER PROSPECTS – DISSOLVED

11th house planet in MOOLA – DESIRES – DISSOLVED (This can become a blessing in disguise if the PATH CHOOSEN IS SPIRITUAL)

12th house planet in MOOLA – LOSS – DISSOLVED (Again a blessing in disguise)

The larger question is how this DISSOLUTION – helps?

It helps when you raise your CONSCIOUSNESS – when you EXPAND your awareness.

Yesterday Mohan came – he is a man who lost his mother when he was 4.

His FOURTH HOUSE LORD MARS is in MOOLA – Happiness from MOTHER – DISSOLVED!

But GOD wanted something more from Him – and so one afternoon – GOD took away His FATHER! And Mohan was just 15 yrs old!

Mohan’s NINTH house LORD MARS is in MOOLA – Happiness from FATHER – DISSOLVED!

But Mohan had been such a beautiful person – always going with the flow – it is a different story that he had many successes in his life – but whenever anybody would ask him “ What is it that made you so successful?

He would answer back “ The early DEATH of my MOTHER and FATHER.”

MOOLA DISSOLVED HIS FATHER – HIS MOTHER – and through this DISSOLUTION – a new MOHAN was REBORN – a great TRANSFORMATION happened within HIS whole being – HE Was No More The Same Mohan!

TRANSFORMATION is closely related to MOOLA!

FIRST happens the DISSOLUTION – only then happens the TRANSFORMATION!

The old has to be dissolved – only then the NEW can evolve – MOOLA therefore is one of the greatest TRANSFORMING ENERGY – without the DIVINE TOUCH of MOOLA – TRANSFORMATION is not possible – without a SHAKE-UP – transformation is not possible – without a certain PAIN – Transformation is not possible!

“This pain is not to make you sad, remember. That’s where people go on missing. This pain is just to make you more alert -because people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them.” -Osho

SUN is in MOOLA – the EGO has to BURN – DISSOLVE

MOON is in MOOLA – the illusions (maya) has to BURN – DISSOLVE

MARS is in MOOLA – the nature of FIGHTING, ARGUEMENTS, BOSSING over others – ambitions has to BURN – DISSOLVE

Jupiter is in MOOLA – the thought of ‘I AM SOMEBODY’ has to burn – the verse of BIBLE – “ HE must become GREATER and ‘I” must become LESS” is what MOOLA means when Jupiter is in MOOLA

Venus is in MOOLA – You had enough of pleasures – now it is time to give you a nice shake-up – so that you come out of the pleasure seeking desires and evolve into a much matured person – that is the message of MOOLA

MERCURY in MOOLA – You had been a hell of a LOGICAL PERSON – now it is time to DISSOLVE the LOGIC and move towards the REAL – LOVE!

Shallow people CANNOT understand the message of MOOLA – they cry – they moan – they make a lot of noise – they even BLAME God – you see – the most IGNORANT person ALWAYS BLAMES others – because that way he finds an ESCAPE ROUTE!

The IGNORANT man’s AWARENESS is not yet EVOLVED – they CANNOT understand what GOD is up to. But GOD is perfectly AWARE of what HE is up to.

“Jesus replied, you don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
-John 

IGNORANT men and women are enslaved by the MIND – they cannot REALIZE – they cannot FIND happiness – even if Buddha, Jesus comes to them – it is difficult – because even if Jesus can take you to the well – but finally you will DRINK water only if you have the ‘THIRST’ – and Jesus says – those who thirst for ME – for My Love will be blessed.

“Jesus said, “whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
-JOHN 

In the Hindu religion – Lord Shiva is addressed as the LORD OF DESTRUCTION!

This DESTRUCTION is of all your ILLUSIONS. This DESTRUCTION is of your EGO. This DESTRUCTION is all of that – WHICH HOLDS YOU BACK FROM EXPERIENCING GOD – FROM EXPERIENCING the DIVINE!

And therefore LORD SHIVA is the LORD OF MOOLA – because unless the DISSOLVING happens – unless the DESTRUCTION happens – you cannot REBORN and Jesus is saying to Nicodemus “ To experience GOD – to experience the ultimate TRUTH – you have to REBORN!”

I earnestly bow before the LORD of LORDS – MAHADEV SHIVA! And what a coincidence – today is Monday – the day of SHIVA!

KETU is SWADHARMA.

And therefore – you all will see KETU’s NAKSHATRAS in DHARMA SIGNS –

ASHWINI – ARIES (DHARMA SIGN)

MAGHA – LEO (DHARMA SIGN)

MOOLA – SAGITTARIUS (DHARMA SIGN)

1.5.9. – ARIES. LEO. SAGITTARIUS – these are DHARMA SIGNS – SIGNS OF SELF NATURE – SWADHARMA

“To reach your own self-nature is the ONLY religion. To become that which you are – is the only religion. That is why Krishna has emphasized Swadharma, Self-Religion. Self Religion or Swadharma has nothing do with religions. The real meaning of Swadharma is that you settle into your own nature.” -Osho

Following your self nature is self religion. In the Gita – Lord Krishna asks Arjuna to follow Swadharma which is Self-Religion. Swa – is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Self’ and Dharma means ‘religion’. Swadharma has NOTHING to do with the religion you follow – it simply has to do with your ‘Self-nature’.

When Krishna says to Arjuna – GET UP and SHOOT YOUR ARROW on those who are standing AGAINST TRUTH – he is simply raising AWARENESS to FOLLOW YOUR SELF NATURE – and if your NATURE is now standing against those who are utterly shameless – utterly sinful – then you don’t have to bother if they are your BROTHERS or GRANDPARENTS – you simply have to SHOOT – “SHOOT” – says KRISHNA and ARJUNA shoots – follow SWADHARMA – there is no HEAD, no MIND – only the instinct and the determination to follow SWADHARMA.

KETU is that SWADHARMA – because to FOLLOW your NATURE – you have to keep aside your MIND – your HEAD!

Only then the arrow can SHOOT- only then the GOAL can be attained!

This ARROW – this quality of following the SWADHARMA (Self-Nature) is the quality of MOOLA – among all the 3 NAKSHATRAS of KETU – MOOLA is the most favorite of KETU – because it is here – that the DESTRUCTION happens – it is here that the DISSOLUTION happens and it is here – through which the NEW WORLD – the NEW LIFE – the NEW MAN is REBORN!

Pain is necessary. Suffering is also necessary. Certain failures are also necessary. Look at the world – today – it is all under LOCK-DOWN – this LOCK-DOWN – this utterly MISERABLE STATE OF THE WHOLE WORLD is a SIGN that a NEW WORLD – a NEW MAN is in the making – POST LOCK_DOWN you all will see a much HUMBLE, a much WISER population than otherwise!

PRESSURE – MOOLA brings PRESSURE. You all have seen how MOHAN went through PRESSURE – no mother, no father and age was 15. PRESSURE came and through these LIFE PRESSURES – HE CHANGED. HE TRANSFORMED.

PRESSURE – MOOLA – will either force you to DEATH or help you to CHANGE.

“One thing is certain, either man has to die OR man has to change. And under pressure people change.” – Osho

The crop is able to provide quality grains – only when it goes through the pressure of intense heat (sun) – wind and rainfall!

Similarly every Man and every Woman ‘evolves’ into a beautiful flower – a beautiful dance – a beautiful poem – when they go through certain pressure – certain pain – certain loss!

MOOLA represents this pain – this pressure – this loss – and it is beautiful!

It is beautiful because through this loss – this pressure – this difficulties – a certain AWARENESS is born WITHIN you and the moment awareness comes to your life – to your presence – a certain glow comes to your living – then even when you are walking – people notice you – even when you are talking – people notice you – even when you are doing nothing – absolutely nothing and still people notice you – because AWARENESS brings a certain GRACE to your being – then you are no more the same – everything around you is the same – but you are no more the same!

Once it happened – a young yogi was giving a discourse. And he was such a beautiful person – full of heart – a song, a dance and he was speaking – sharing – and people were listening – when suddenly a man threw a shoe on him – but the young man was a man of awareness – quickly he catches the shoe that was hurled on him – and with a smile he asks “ Where is the other shoe? How can I wear only one shoe?”

Now the man who had thrown the shoe was baffled – this was something unusual – he thought the young man will become angry – will start abusing him but nothing sort of it was happening – instead the young man was asking for another shoe! So that a pair is available for him to wear!

The man who threw the shoe – wanted the young man to get embarrassed – but now he himself had become embarrassed – after the discourse is over he goes and meets the young yogi and says ‘Sorry – please forgive me.’

The young yogi says “ Where is the question of forgiving you – I haven’t had any anger towards you – any resentment – any complain – so where is the question of forgiving you?”

But the man took to his heart. He went away but for the next four months he would continue to write a letter – asking for forgiveness and the young yogi would find amusing that when there is absolutely no reason for him to say sorry – then where is the question of forgiving him!

AWARENESS is the key. Once you become aware then anger cannot attack you – then whenever anger comes – you turn inwards and start looking from where the anger is coming? And the moment you start turning inward – the anger cannot haunt you – and you also don’t have to control your anger – slowly slowly – you overcome the anger – by turning inward – by becoming more and more meditative.

Moola has immense significance in the whole gamut of astrology and beyond. Through MOOLA – the BEYOND is experienced and so many YOGIs and SAINTS are also born on MOOLA.

People do some poojas and rituals to bring SHANTI to MOOLA – it is like interfering with the NATURE – with the play of GOD – with the existence and manipulating is not always an assured solution – many times it boomrangs and Neem Karoli Baba mentions this in the most beautiful way…

“It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so that your idea of good can come about is to let the ego play God-and that, as you know, can and does backfire.”
– Neem Karoli Baba

What has to happen let it happen. Yesterday Mohan said “My son is born on MOOLA nakshatra – now what to do?”

I said “ There is nothing to do – just go with the flow!”

But people want to MANIPULATE – and then to MANIPULATE they go on interfering – doing many poojas and rituals – unknowingly they are creating one more circle of misery – because the more you manipulate the more you try to find an ESCAPE route – the more you will have to come again and again in this HUMAN FORM to FACE that which you have been trying to manipulate and escape!

“Let Life Flow;
don’t interfere.”
-Osho

Just go with the flow – let what has to happen – happen – you remain engrossed within – you remain focused within.

“Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”
-Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

Silent. Silence is the language – real communication happens through silence!

And so let there be more and more silence in your life – in that silence – in that nothingness – you will see the first glimpse of God and it is beautiful.

KETU has been the most unrealized energy and yet it is KETU that has brought realization to many!

This June – my new book on Ketu is coming, never had planned for – never had any thoughts but life takes its own course and the compassionate master – the benevolent master makes things happen – the DOER is HE – and the moment you come to this realization – a great awakening comes to your being – then there is a song to it – a dance – a beautiful poem!

Life becomes creative when you are in LOVE with LIFE!

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” – Osho

Failures or Success. Pain or Gain – when you remain in love with life – when you are bubbling with energy – then you become a blessing to others – then wherever you go – you bring a glow – a you bring a certain fragrance with you – this is how life has to be – this is how you have to be – and this is possible – this can happen only when the DIRT within you is CLEANED – and this CLEANING is done by MOOLA!

So do not fear the spiritual cleansing that Moola brings along – for the ‘iron rod’ comes out shinning only WHEN IT GOES THROUGH THE FIRE OF SUFFERING!

“The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.”
-Ecodiart Tolle

Without the divine touch of MOOLA – consciousness is not possible – GOD is not possible – Love is not possible! MOOLA moves you to the HIGHEST PEAK OF CONSCIOUSNESS – it has the potential to TRANSFORM you into a NEW MAN.

The more you go through the pressures and sufferings the more you start turning inwards – the more you are blessed the more you would continue to meditate – and meditation is the only miracle that can and that does transform you into a NEW MAN!

So come – come you all and meditate. 20 minutes everyday, you have to find time – because time never finds you! When a person says “ I am just passing time’ – it is in reality the other way round – time is passing you – time is moving on – and it is moving very fast – minute after minute – death is coming closer and nobody knows when the last call is to come – it never comes with a fixed appointment – it just STRIKES anytime anywhere!

And so BEFORE it STRIKES – start turning inwards – start looking within – that is the whole essence and that is the whole purpose of MOOLA – (KETU) to help you come back ‘home’!

Nobody can push you – nobody can make you walk – I can show you the way, Buddha can show you the way – the master can show you the way – but finally it is YOU who have to WALK.

Buddha says ” I can show you the way, but you will have to walk. I cannot walk for you.”

Walk your way HOME. Come back ‘home’ (Center of your heart). Come back to your ROOT (MOOLA) – when you come home – you come home – and the whole ‘world’ (MIND) disappears and then you find your peace.

The key is to come back home.

Be in the world but don’t let the world to be in you – stay DETACHED – MOOLA is detaching you – if you can listen to MOOLA – you will find the greatest gift and if you cannot then you will find the deepest misery – the whole essence is in understanding MOOLA – understanding KETU – understanding SHIVA!

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Pushya: Good or Bad?

Repressed emotions.

In two words – comes out the most unrevealed state of Pushya Nakshatra.

He loves – but he finds it difficult to express.

She loves – but she finds it difficult to express.

He know what is RIGHT – but he find it difficult to SPEAK UP!

Reminds me of the great Bhishma of Mahabharata! One of the most beautiful man of the Kuru-Vansha – a great warrior but still he remains mum when Draupadi pleads for HIS help. He remains unavailable for the Panadavas when the great war breaks out. He knows who is right – he knows that the Pandavas are being treated unfairly and yet he stands with the Kauravas – he goes on suppressing his emotions – his ideas in the name of DUTY.

DUTY – SHANI – SATURN.

So a Pushya nakshatra is a man who is emotional within – but he is extremely DUTY- CONSCIOUS person – for him – DUTY COMES FIRST.

Love marriage is like a great revolutaionary event in their life – because to LOVE – you have to EXPRESS – you have to be very expressive – else the person whom you LOVE will go away – because the ‘message’ was never conveyed; those three magical words “I LOVE YOU” were never spoken – never expressed!

And so many PUSHYA men and women face failures in the matters of LOVE!

Once it happened – there was a man, and he must be a PUSHYA! Because a woman once approached him and said “ I love you, I want to marry you.”

The man blushed, he was a shy person (Pushya) – he looked at her and said “I will let you know soon about my decision.”

The woman went away. But the man (Pushya) took this proposal to his heart. He goes to the greatest library of his town – scans through hundreds of books – books on whether one should marry or not? Books on finding the pros and cons of marriage. And then after six months of research and study – he comes to the conclusion that ‘Marriage is a good thing – it has more pros than cons.”

So then he decides to go back to the woman’s house and let her know that now he is READY to Marry!

He goes and gives a ring on her door. The door opens – a old man (must be her father) asks “ Who you want?”

The man says “ Where is your daughter?”

The old man says “ She has gone for her honeymoon, she just got married last month.”

You see – Pushya (SHANI) – takes a long time in making decisions.

Repressed emotions. Delays in decision making and the nature of ACQUIRING. These people like to acquire as much as possible. They are good shoppers. And they are also good executives – ambitious executives who want to ACQUIRE companies – and expand their corporate empires.

Overall this is a typical material world nakshatra – or a nakshatra that helps you to progress materially.

Generally for service sector – people belonging to the sign of Capricorn (MAKAR) are the most suitable beings but along with Capricorn, people belonging to PUSHYA, ANURADHA and UTTARA BHADRAPADA Nakshatra are also suitable for their DUTY ORIENTED NATURE.

A PUSHYA is a DUTY ORIENTED person. And let me tell you all – that the moment you become a DUTIFUL person – you become a BURDENED person!

Because whatever you do – you do because it is your DUTY.

There is a GREAT DIFFERENCE between the word – DUTY & RESPONSIBILITY.

It is very unfortunate that the modern world has made RESPONSIBILITY sound as DUTY. RESPONSIBILITY is NOT DUTY.

In a school, once the teacher was teaching “ The most fundamental thing of our religion is to SERVE OTHERS.”

A young boy, and he had a very different way of thinking – he got up and said “ I understand we have to SERVE OTHERS – but then what will others do?”

The teacher said “ The others will also SERVE OTHERS.”

The young boy said “ If everybody is serving others – than why I should not serve myself – why you should not serve yourself, why we should go on sounding as if it is a duty to serve others – why to make it so complicated, that I should serve others and then wait for them to serve me?”

The young boy was asked to stand out of the classroom – he was a great danger to the society. The teachers could not answer His question – he was thrown out of the classroom.

And this is what happens – TRUTH is thrown out – LIES are embraced. And then people go on asking “ Why my life is miserable – why I am not happy, why I miss the happiness in my life?”

Duty has NO LOVE. Understand this and I say this to all my followers, fellow travelers and readers – DUTY has NO LOVE.

If you are making a cup of tea for me – because it is your DUTY – the tea will be made perfectly – it will have all those shades and fragrance to it – it will taste good but it will NOT touch my heart!

You see – but the same tea when someone prepares out of love – out of affection – then the same tea with all the same ingredients and same taste and fragrance TOUCH my heart – because NOW there is one special ingredient added to the tea and it is called – LOVE!

And LOVE is beautiful – then no matter what you offer – it will have a very different quality to it – a very different meaning to it!

When you serve tea without LOVE – it is a DUTY (Pushya) – you are simply executing your DUTY.

When you serve tea with LOVE – it is a RESPONSIBILITY (DHANISHTA- Capricorn) – you are doing it with consciousness – a certain depth, a certain quality is to your action – a certain grace is to your ‘Presence’!

And when GRACE comes to your whole being then life is no more the same!

Then there is no sense of DUTY – then DUTY transform into RESPONSIBILITY and it is beautiful!

What is MARRIAGE? It is a RESPONSIBILITY – and NOT a DUTY!

The moment MARRIAGE becomes A DUTY – it starts falling apart – LOVE is missing – Responsibility fades away and DUTY remains – and DUTY cannot lead you to the state of ecstasy – to the state of joy!

Many marriages EXIST – they just EXIST – they never BLOSSOM!

Marriage is suppose to BLOSSOM with time and NOT just exist.

I always insist that DO NOT STAY IN A FAILED MARRIAGE – get out of the misery that you are in – but people won’t – because they say “ at least we know our miseries – we have become used to our miseries…”

And that is the whole story – that MAN has become accustomed to HIS miseries.

People say “ My boss is very bad – but I am okay to be here – because who knows how it will be outside – other company!”

People say “ My marriage has become a misery – but it is okay, I can live with it because who knows how it will be if I get out of it and marry someone else!”

So you see – people don’t want to loose their old friend ‘the misery’ – they made misery as their friend and then they come and ask “Why my life is so miserable?”

Now what to say! Sometime you have to just laugh out at the strange ways of this human world. Such men and women continue to live in hell (ignorance) and then they come and ask “Does this place called HELL exists in reality?”

You are living in HELL (ignorance) and you are asking if HELL exists!

When ‘KNOWING’ happens within your being – “My mother is now old, she needs me.” – “My father is now old, he needs me” – WHEN THIS ‘KNOWING’ evolves through your BEING – only then the SHADOW OF IGNORANCE goes away and you come back to LIFE – back to your SENSES – back to your SOURCE – back to the realms of CONSCIOUSNESS!

So you see – the moment CONSCIOUSNESS comes to your being – you BECOME RESPONSIBLE – and let me tell you all – it is beautiful!

To become a RESPONSIBLE MAN is indeed the most beautiful development – a beautiful stage of your life – the majority is stuck in the sense of DUTY, a very few can RISE to the occasion and embrace RESPONSIBILITY in Totality!

Whole life BHISHMA executed his DUTY to safeguard the KURUs – had he been RESPONSIBLE – he would have raised his voice against the injustice – against the corruption of the Kauravas – but he remained a DUTIFUL man and NOT a responsible man!

Pushya is a DUTIFUL man. He will marry – and he will take care of his marriage partner and children because he considers it as his DUTY and not RESPONSIBILITY!

Understand the fact and I say it specifically to my close followers who have been resonating with my sharings – that DUTY is the nature of SATURN, RESPONSIBILITY is the nature of JUPITER!

And so when SATURN JUPITER comes together – DUTY is transformed into RESPONSIBILITY – a person with this combination is a person who understand perfectly the true essence – and the depth of the word – RESPONSIBILITY!

In PUSHYA – because it falls in CANCER – a very emotional sign, the Pushya person becomes emotional towards his DUTY!

You see – then when his wife is not well, still he will say “I have to go – I have to report – Sir must be waiting for me – DUTY FIRST.”

And so they are emotional towards their job – they take their job as a DUTY.

Opposite to PUSHYA – falls the Nakshatra of DHANISHTA in Capricorn -the nakshatra of MARS!

MARS is a EXECUTIVE PERSON – you see he belongs to the BOARDROOM. Here you see the evolution of the sense of DUTY into RESPONSIBILITY – here you see that he is not just a worker who comes to execute his duty – now he is an executive who takes the whole RESPONSIBILITY of running the company!

MARS is BOSSY by nature but even though he moves around as a BOSS – he also takes his JOB as a RESPONSIBILITY and not just a DUTY! And that makes a difference – that makes him GREAT.

Great men and great women are RESPONSIBLE individuals. They don’t just come in this world to execute DUTY – they come to show through their actions – the significance of RESPONSIBILITY!

Winston Churchill was one such great leader – who never gave up – when the whole country was bombarded by the NAZIS – he said “ I REFUSE TO GIVE UP – I WILL NEVER GIVE UP until the very last breath of my life.”

And history is witness – to what happened later – the NAZIS became too ambitious – they became too overconfident – they made many wrong decisions – they missed to realize the HARSH winters of Russia – and from there they started falling – and the whole game changed – the Allies became victorious and Hitler committed suicide!

A LEADER is born from the urgency of RESPONSIBILITY towards HIS fellows – HIS countrymen.

A good SERVANT is born from the urgency of DUTY towards HIS Job, HIS company, HIS country.

TRUTH is hard – very hard.

Understand the fact – that RESPONSIBILITY comes only when you become AWARE. The greater the awareness – the greater is the sense of RESPONSIBILITY and it is beautiful!

Break the word responsibility into two: response & ability, don’t make it one. Joining these two words has created so much confusion in the world. It is not responsibility, it is response-ability. And love is able to respond. There is no other force in the world that is so able to respond. If you love, you are bound to respond, there is no burden. Duty is a burden. Responsibility is NOT a burden – it is simply LOVE!

And there was one such person – his name was Sikander and he was a soldier. War was going on – a very difficult war and Sikander had just returned to the camp when he realized that his friend Amar is missing. He realizes that Amar is still stuck in the war and the enemy was firing madly – he goes to his senior and says “ Sir – I need to go back to the battlefield and bring back Amar.”

The senior says “ Are you Mad? The enemy is firing madly – if you go back, you too will be caught up – trapped and then you will not be able to come back in one piece.”

Sikander said “ I cannot leave my friend alone on that battlefield – Sir. I will go, I will have to go back – I know he must be waiting for me….I know….”

The senior says “ If that is what you want- then go but let me tell you – you too will be dead.”

Sikander goes back to battlefield. Everywhere the enemy is firing fiercely, bombarding – a lot of dust, a lot of deaths – and amidst all of this – Sikander finds Amar! And he carries Amar on his back – Amar is deeply wounded, bleeding profusely – on the way back – Amar dies. Sikander reaches the camp – his senior is standing before him, Sikander also is now bleeding, he too may not survive for long – looking at Sikander – the senior says “ Look – look at you – haven’t I warned you to not to go back to the battlefield – your friend is dead and now you are also dying – was it worth it??”

And Sikander looks into the eyes of the senior and says “ It was WORTH IT Sir, it was worth it – because when I found Amar – he looked into my eyes and said “Sikander – I knew you would come.”

Life is WORTH IT when there is LOVE. Life is WORTH IT when there is a sense of RESPONSIBILITY. Life is WORTH it when you CAN DIE – when you CAN SACRIFICE for others!

But in the classrooms, in the schools, in the colleges – you are taught to sacrifice everything just to be ALIVE, just to survive, sacrifice everything! But then what is the VALUE of such a LIFE? It is simply worthless – a living body without a soul!

SOUL – Pushya Nakshatra is a NAKSHTRA that is still to evolve to the state of SOUL – the state of BEING YOURSLF! It is more focused on executing duties and maintaining discipline in life.

You can become a great soldier, a great officer, a great worker with PUSHYA NAKSHATRA – but you can become a GREAT MAN – a GREAT WOMAN only when you RISE ABOVE THE SENSE OF DUTY and REALIZE THE ESSENCE OF RESPONSIBILITY – and then there is a song to it – then everything around you is the same – but you are no more the same – then life is transforming into a beautiful painting – a dance!

Not LETTING GO – is another quality of PUSHYA. Saturn never want you to LET GO – Saturn wants REVENGE – SATURN wants you to PAY BACK. SATURN is highly material – meaning PRACTICAL by nature – and therefore when SATURN is very powerful in a horoscope – the person becomes TOO DRY – TOO REVENGEFUL – and when PUSHYA is in prominence then the emotions are too high and through the trap of emotions – the native can go to any extent – in short – SATURN DEALS WITH REALITY OF THIS MATERIAL WORLD – and so it is difficult for such a person to realize the significance of LETTING GO – the significance of MEDITATIONS – the significance of FORGIVING.

Many times you are NOT willing to forgive. The greater the IGNORANCE the greater you are adamant on NOT TO FORGIVE.

But then what happens? You remain trapped in yourself! You become the ‘prisoner’ because you are always thinking of the person you don’t want to forgive. You become a ‘prisoner’ of your nature of NOT LETTING GO.

And the moment you LET GO – the moment you say “ What has happened has happened – I FORGIVE YOU.” – the moment you say this from the depth of your HEART – a great relieve comes to your whole being! Suddenly you start looking more beautiful than you are – suddenly you start looking more lively than you are – suddenly you come back ‘home’ – to your ‘source’ – to where it all had started!

Pushya finds it difficult to forgive. My answer or my sharing is simply to HELP all PUSHYA natives to realize that it is through the HIGHER REALMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS that you CAN FORGIVE – you CAN RISE ABOVE DUTY AND REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY – that you too CAN transform yourself – after all this HUMAN LIFE – this ASTROLOGY is NOT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE – IT is NOT a FULL STOP, it is just a comma, it is just a signal – that you can begin afresh – that you can restart – that there is always a SECOND CHANCE – and life always provides you with a second chance – to GROW, to TRANSFORM, to REALIZE your shortcoming – to EVOLVE into a much matured person!

SATURN PUSHYA is at the start of maturity.

SATURN ANURADHA is at the mid of maturity.

SATURN UTTARA BHADRAPAD is at the peak of maturity – here SATURN is much matured and the abode of JUPITER (Pisces) brings a certain depth to SATURN – a certain level of understanding to SATURN.

Interestingly – Saturn makes His home in all the three signs of EMOTIONS and SENSITIVITY! All the three SIGNS – CANCER, SCORPIO, PISCES are signs that melt – that can melt – that can cry – that can show their emotions – that can express themselves in the most beautiful way possible!

It is one of the strangest thing to happen – that the most DRY planet SATURN dwells in the NAKSHATRAs of the most juicy – most emotional sensitive signs! These all three signs are signs of MOKSHA – final liberation!

You see – that is why SATURN dwells in these signs – because it is only through the KARMIC CYCLE that the liberation happens – KARMA YOGA is the territory of SATURN and SWAMI VIVEKANANDA beautiful conveys the significance of KARMA YOGA in this KALI YUG!

Why CANCER, SCORPIO and PISCES are addressed by the ancient seers as the MOKSHA triangle – or the Liberation triangle? The answer is in Swami Vivekanand’s above quote!

BHAKTI (CANCER)
KARMA- (SCORPIO)
Jnana Yoga (Knowledge) – PISCES

4. 8. 12. First BHAKTI has to evolve within your being. Through BHAKTI comes the consciousness of executing your KARMA in the most gracious way. YOGA is possible only when your actions (KARMA) are in the right direction. And ultimately – when everything comes together – then Jnana YOGA is formed and it is through this passage of Jnana (SELF-REALIZED knowledge) that the ultimate MOKSHA – LIBERATION happens – and it happens in the 12th sign of Pisces – and it happens very much when you are ALIVE. You don’t have to die to become liberate – it is a myth that people believe that MOKSHA happens after death.

What is MOKSHA? MOKSHA is ultimate freedom from the prison called MIND! The moment you have gone beyond MIND – MOKSHA happens – ENLIGHTENMENT happens – Jesus attained MOKSHA while being ALIVE, BUDDHA, MAHAVIRA, MUHAMMAD – all the divine masters attained the stage of MOKSHA while being ALIVE – and so please remove this myth from your mind that MOKSHA happens after DEATH.

Understand the fact that you are born in a specific NAKSHATRA and SIGN based on your evolution – based on the level of your NATURE.

A pious man or a pious woman with certain quality of nature will be born on a STAR or NAKSHATRA that RELATES to his or her quality of nature!

So it is not GOD who directs you to born on a certain NASKHATRA – it is your own KARMIC QUALITY that directs you to born on a certain NAKSHATRA.

A person born in PUSHYA – because HIS or HER level or state of evolution matches the frequency of PUSHYA – you see – NEXT BIRTH – based on ‘whatever you have made of yourself in this life’ – accordingly you will be born on a specific Nakshatra.

And so come – come you all and meditate. Through meditation you can come to the realization of your own shortcomings – and once the AWARENESS of your own shortcomings is instilled within you – then the flame of your AWARENESS will BURN UP all the DARKNESS of IGNORANCE and will lead you to the higher altitudes of HUMAN LIFE.

That is why the divine master – one of the greatest YOGI of this millenium – PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA says “This world is the place to do it.”

This world is the place to evolve yourself into a new man – a man of awareness, a much matured man, a much evolved meditative man.

Meditation is the only miracle that can transform you into a new man. Every NAKSHATRA has a shortcoming and every NAKSHATRA has some great qualities.

The EMOTIONAL quality of PUSHYA can be a great QUALITY – only if these emotions are purified.

In spiritual journey – EMOTIONS play a very important role. Because BHAKTI or DEVOTION is based on EMOTIONS – PURE EMOTIONS.

Unless you purify your emotions – meditation cannot fructify!

Mohan asked “How to purify emotions?”

Nowadays Mohan have been following me a lot and so his questions are becoming more deeper.I said “ You have asked a beautiful question, Mohan.”

Emotions are purified by reciting the SHLOKAS, STOTRAS, DEVOTIONAL HYMN.

Emotions are purified by chanting the Lord’s name – “Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare” “Ram Ram Jai Raja Ram”

Emotions are purified by listening to devotional songs.

All the efforts of a spiritual sadhak or seeker should be towards purification of emotions. Emotions are good but only when they are purified.

Purity of Body.

Purity of Thoughts.

Purity of Emotions.

By eating a proper sattvic diet – purity of body is attained and maintained.

By chanting the name of the Lord and reading the holy scriptures (Gita/Quran/Bible) – purity of thoughts is attained and maintained.

And when THOUGHTS are purified – the EMOTIONS naturally get purified – then you will cry – but those tears will be of joy – of devotion – of bliss!

Then you will dance – but in that dance the dancer will not exist – the dancer (ego) gets dissolved into the dance (sadhana/meditation)! Such a dance looks so gracious so moving so wonderful!

This is the way of its happening, this is how it happens – it can happen to you all – only and only IF you are WILLING to turn inwards – if you are willing to embark on the most beautiful journey of your life – the JOURNEY WITHIN!

If you all will observe closely than you will realize that – we all make decisions based on emotions than by thoughts! It is a very hard truth – but it is also a very revolutionizing truth – that people do not live so much according to thoughts, people live more according to emotions!

There are so many brands of mobile phones – and so many shops. But you will BUY that brand which relates to your emotions! And what triggers this relating to certain brands?

Advertisements!

Watch all the advertisements – and most of them are directly focusing on your EMOTIONS! There are many such advertisements – one that I remember much is of Hyundai Cars (Celebrating 20 years) advertisement.

The advertisment begins with an Army officer who has lost his way and now urgently needs a lift – and he is on a very important mission- KARGIL war.

He seeks a lift and a civilian is on his way – he is driving a Hyundai car – he stops his car, the officer says “But you are going straight way and I have to go towards Kargil – it is on the opposite direction.”

The civilian says “ No problem, I will drop you at your posting in Kargil, please get inside the car.”

On the way the officer asks “ Where were you going?”

The civilian says “ I was actually heading for a Government Job interview. Only if I get this job than my marriage is possible! My ‘to be’ father-in-law wants me to first get a Government job – only than will he agree for our marriage!”

The military officer is taken aback.

They reach KARGIL. The civilian happily says “See I dropped you in time. You have reached KARGIL.”

The officer says “ But you will miss your job interview. And it must be very important for you. Your marriage is dependent on getting the job….”

The civilian smiles and says “Sir, I am clear about one thing…those who serve the nation – must be served first.”

So such beautiful deeply moving advertisements capture your emotions – it reflects the feeling that those who drive Hyundai – CARES for others – CARES for the NATION.

So you see – emotions is what DRIVES your LIFE. Without emotions – LIFE becomes a dry ARID land. With Emotion – the land is no more arid, no more dry – flowers start blossoming, green pastures, and life becomes a garden of bliss!

Always remember that your HATRED, your ANGER, your LOVE is related to your EMOTIONS and not thoughts.

You may have noticed, in fact all of you may have noticed that many times – you decide that you will not get angry — but then when the time comes – you get angry!

Thinking – you think that you should not become angry – you think that you should not propose – you think that you should not say ‘YES’ – but when the time comes – your EMOTIONS overcome your thinking and you do exactly that which you had decided NOT TO DO!

Cancer is an emotional sign. But Pushya is ruled by Saturn – it has the nature of Saturn but quality of Cancer! So you have a person who appears STRICT on the outside but is a butter within! My grandfather was a Cancer man with Pushya – whole life he remained a dutiful person – he was strict – at least that is what it appeared to those who lived with him – but from within he was a very emotional man. When his dad died (my great-grandfather) he was the only man who cried whole night – whole night he cried – people were surprised because they had never seen him crying – they never had imagined that this man has a heart – has emotions – it happens – it always happens that those who have been appearing as ‘stones’ – melt when the time comes – they simply melt – and the whole world wonders – because they never had seen the softer side of such men, they forgot the fact they are CANCERS – hard on the outside – very protective – but very soft WITHIN!

The outer shell of the crab – is very HARD.

The inner body of the crab – is very SOFT.

And that is exactly how a CANCER man or woman is – HARD on the outside – because they are very protective – PREVENTION and DEFENSE are their primary MOTTO and so they have to be HARD on the outside just the way you see this beautiful CRAB and his hard outer shell.

Their world is made of WATER. They are found in fresh water and salt water – WATER is their world – WATER represent EMOTIONS – they are juicy people – they are active people – they are very emotional people.

Now Pushya brings a much more stricter or harder outer SHELL than the other two NAKSHATRAS in CANCER (Punarvasu and Ashlesha) – in fact PUSHYA comprises most of the CANCER’s defensive nature!

The spiritual journey is based on how pure your emotions are!

We have seen the many ways to purify emotions but how will you realize or come to the state of realization that your emotions are purified? What is the way to measure the purification of your emotions?

The answer is simple – it is to be measured on the following four qualities:

1.Friendliness

2.Compassion

3.Cheerfulness

4.GRATITUDE

The last quality – GRATITUDE is of immense importance – unless you become GRATEFUL you really cannot attain anything in this life or life beyond!

Not everybody is grateful. Not everybody has a sense of Gratitude.

And only those who have been grateful, only those who a heart filled with GRATITUDE are blessed with happiness. Because it is NOT happiness that brings GRATITUDE, it is GRATITUDE that brings HAPPINESS!

And so to all Pushya natives – I appeal – BE GRATEFUL, BE THANKFUL.

Saturn is not a very thankful being. Pushya is not a very thankful Nakshatra. But still – through your own efforts you can overcome the nature of SATURN and become more and more thankful – grateful, and this change – this transformation will then bring abundance of happiness in your life.

A man who says ‘Thank you’ from the bottom of his heart is a man worth connecting with! He understands life – he values life – he has a grateful heart – such a man always comes out of difficulties – because GOD LOVES A GRATEFUL HEART – GOD LOVES A GRATEFUL MAN!

And so no matter how many difficulties you are going through – no matter if you are JOBLESS at this moment – no matter if you are HOPELESS at this moment – as long as you are THANKFUL – as long as you are GRATEFUL for all that GOD has blessed you with – you will continue to progress in life.

Mohan said “ What if my job is gone?”

I said “ Mohan – look at yourself. Look closely and remember – just remember what you were 20 years ago! 20 years ago nobody looked at you – nobody even thought of you – that one day you will become an officer of such a high caliber!”

Mohan said “ That is true.”

I said “ Now tell me – from streets to the skyscrapers – your journey of life has been fascinating – now tell me if GOD has been so much kind to you and so even if you lose your job because of the ongoing global economic factors – then do you think GOD will forget you?”

That never happens – the CHILD may forgot his FATHER, but the holy FATHER never forget HIS CHILD!

At our core – we all are CHILD OF GOD! And when this feeling – when this TRUTH goes DEEP into your being – then the FEAR does not EXIST! Then no matter whether you are on job or your are out of job – then whether you are under heavy debt or you are losing heavily in business – no matter what – then YOU KNOW – that GOD IS GOING TO FIX IT ALL – you don’t have to FIX anything – you just have to FIX your HEART on HIS HOLY NAME and then the MIRACLE starts happening – the greatest miracle of your LIFE that the world had ever known!

And so come – come you all and focus on your meditation. Many people will try to disturb you -offend you and I meet many such people all across – but that should not DISTURB you – because you all are beautiful – your heart is beautiful – the heart is always beautiful – what makes it ugly is your MIND – the MONKEY MIND!

Buddha says – Rule over your mind else the mind will rule over you.

Who is this ‘you’ that Buddha refers to?

It is your SELF – soul. Meditation is a medium to bring you closer to your SELF – soul.

And the sooner you start coming closer – the more challenges you will have to face – because the MIND won’t let you out of its prison so easily – the MIND will try all ways possible to distract you – to hold you – to enslave you – but it is YOUR FAITH, it is YOUR DEVOTION, it is YOUR EFFORTS that can help you overcome the monkey mind and experience the real taste of FREEDOM for the every first time in your life. The key is ‘persistence’ – the key is ‘consistency’ – the key is ‘efforts’.

Take efforts – sit daily for meditation. God has given you all the necessary ‘ground’ – else you all would have not been following me! You only follow that which also is within you – you only appreciate that which is also within you!

And so you all have it – you all have the capability to rise above the mind – you all can FLY – you all have the wings to fly – all you need is to learn how to fly – and you can learn it only when you start turning inwards – when you start meditating – when you start taking efforts to spread your ‘wings’ and take to the sky!

The ‘sky’ is the consciousness – the moment you start flying in the higher realms of consciousness – you ‘arrive’ and then the master says “ Welcome back home’”

The master is waiting – the master can wait for indefinite time, you don’t have to rush to seek the master – the master will come in search of you – only when you learn to spread your wings and ‘fly’.

Meditate. And take to the sky. Fly!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Beard Growth and Planetary Luck

Beard is the ‘hair’ that grows on the face. ‘Hair’ is connected with Lord Saturn! Saturn represents Maturity. Whenever Saturn is NOT connected with RAHU or KETU and is placed positively – then MATURITY comes and MATURITY is significant irrespective whether you are living a material life or spiritual life.

One has to understand the true essence of maturity. Maturity has nothing to with AGE – Maturity has more to do with your own ‘self-growth’!

Once it happened – Gautama Buddha was having a conversation with the Emperor – and the Emperor was 45 years old and he was asking many question – and Buddha was smiling and responding when a very old monk came – touched the feet of Buddha and said “ I am very sorry to interrupted your conversation – but Master, it is getting dark and the sun may set soon – I need your permission so that I can leave for the next Monastery.”

The Buddhist monks don’t move after sunset.

Buddha said “ You can leave. You have my permission but could you please tell me – what is your AGE?”

The old monk smiled and said “ Master, I am only 4 years old.”

Buddha said “ You can leave now, my blessings are with you.”

The old monk left. But the Emperor was listening and he was taken aback – because the old monk looked around 75 years old and still how come he said ‘ I am just 4 years old’ – the Emperor could not resist his curiosity – he fell upon the feet of Buddha and said “ Master – that old monk looked over 70 years and yet how come he said ‘I am 4 years old…’ – I don’t get it….and again why would you ask him such a weird question that out of context?”

This time Buddha laughed and said “ That question was not for him – in the true sense, that question was for you so that you come back to your senses….”

The real saints are NOT cats – they are LIONS. And now the Emperor could feel the ‘roar’ of the Lion – the master – he bowed again and said “Please explain….I am still novice to understand your divine message.”

Gautama Buddha said “ Real Age is NOT based on HOW MANY YEARS you have EXISTED on this PLANET. Real Age is based on how much you have GROWN WITHIN – how much you have spend your time and energy in turning inwards. That old monk must be above 70 years – but when he answered ‘I am 4 years old’ – it meant that he is taking efforts – meditating – turning inwards and walking on the path of attaining ‘self-realization’ from last 4 years – and that is the REAL AGE. He knows his REAL AGE – now you tell me – what is your REAL AGE?”

The Emperor became speechless. He has NO ANSWER – he fell upon the master’s feet and started crying – he said “ I am still to be BORN – because I have been spend my whole life in running behind wealth, power, and sex and pleasures – and now I have realized what an IDIOT I had been – MASTER – you have been so compassionate towards me – how could I thank you – how could I express my gratitude towards you – through this small incident – through just one question you have opened the whole eternity – the whole essence of Buddha hood before me – I remain indebted towards your compassion, your grace….”

Real AGE is simply based on the ‘years’ you have spend in turning inwards – in meditating – in realizing yourself – that is the REAL AGE – the rest is simply ‘numbers’ and numbers don’t bring maturity – experience bring maturity.

SATURN represents MATURITY. This MATURITY comes when you start turning inwards – when you start focusing WITHIN – and when you are so much focused WITHIN – where is the time to SHAVE?

Understand this – this is significant – men who practice deep penance – meditations – are often found with long beards – such men are great YOGIS – great MYSTICS. Men who live for the larger INTEREST of the PEOPLE – are often found with beards – such men are RULERS – KINGS – MINISTERS.

SATURN represents all of these men – from YOGI to MONARCHY, HIGHEST AUTHORITY.

Understand the fact that these MEN never grow beard because they have to grow – it simply happens naturally – they are so much engrossed and fired up with the HIGHER PURPOSE of life that the beard simply keeps growing – naturally and SATURN LOVES THIS MEN – because SATURN loves NATURAL COURSE OF LIFE!

SHAVING the BEARD is NOT NATURAL – you are CUTTING – you are DISTURBING the natural course of life – and SATURN is watching.

Beard brings maturity to your face – and the same beard also has the potential to bring maturity in your life – in fact maturity comes through the beard – because it signify that you are BUSY with something that belongs to HIGHER altitudes of life!

Saturn is represented by maturity – that is the reason when beard starts growing on your face, you look maturity. And when SATURN is positive in your chart than this SATURN can bring maturity – growth in your material aspects of life!

Once it happened – Abraham Lincoln – a clean shaved man – was planning to fight the US Presidential elections…

Abraham Lincoln was indeed one of the greatest genius that the US had ever had! But he had a shortcoming – in the context of the American society – he was NOT a very handsome man. And so even though he was genius – he was struggling to make his way through the US Presidential elections – there were many candidates and they all were WHITE – Lincoln was NOT a WHITE in totality – he was BROWN – and the fight was tough – the way to the WHITE HOUSE was full of challenges – great difficulties!

As the US presidential elections were coming closer – Lincoln was aggressivel campaigning all over America – and so for one of his campaign speech, Lincoln arrived at Westfield, New York. And he gave one of the most engrossing speech of his life – and the whole ground was packed with audience – and they all cheered – among them was one little girl – her name was Grace.

After the speech – the little girl – Grace goes to Lincoln and shares a very insightful message – she suggests that Lincoln should grow beard on his face – as that will give a much better look to his face and also will cover the spots on his face that are not so appealing.

Lincoln was a man of awareness. A man of awareness never lets in his Ego. He thinks over the suggestions shared. Lincoln didn’t ruled out her suggestion, in fact he gave a serious thought to it and started growing beard….and the beard gave him a totally NEW PERSONALITY – now you don’t see his pictures anywhere without beard – now you don’t see the ugliness (spots) anywhere on his face – now you find his face more appealing – and it is said that after that makeover – LINCOLN goes on to WIN the Presidential ELECTIONS – He Becomes the President of America. And Lincoln was such a beautiful person – a man of heart – that after winning and becoming the President – he remembers the little girl and her suggestion – and as a mark of gratitude – he writes a letter to the little girl – in his letter to that little girl – he writes:

Your Suggestion Worked.

A great man – an insightful man of great understanding – Abraham Lincoln seen with a beard.

And the little girl whose suggestion helped Lincoln win the elections- her name was Grace Greenwood Bedell.

After few months of becoming the President – Abraham Lincoln visits the same place where the little girl had suggested him to grow beard – and in that crowd when he talks about this little girl – suddenly a very old man comes walking – finding his way through the crowd – and along with him is the little girl – he comes and says to President Abraham Lincoln “ Mr. President -that gir – my daughter, her name is Grace….Grace Greenwood Bedell”

Listening to these words and finding the little girl standing before him – President Lincoln steps down and kisses the little girl – tears of gratitude rolling from his eyes – he says “Gracie…look look at my beard. I have been growing them for you.”

A beard of many months that had grown longer – touched the cheeks of that little girl – she smiled – her suggestion worked.

Today at the same place – Westfield, New York – a monument of this unique meeting between President Lincoln and Grace – the little girl, is instilled and this monument reminds us of the fact that at times – even simple small genuine suggestions – no matter from whom or from where it comes – it CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Only if you have the heart of Lincoln and the awareness and readiness to LISTEN.

Although I have been to the US several times, I never got to visit this place – else it would have been a beautiful moment to experience – the ‘spot’ where the little girl had given a life-changing suggestion to Lincoln – the suggestion to grow beard!

Saturn loves MEN with BEARD. But you should grow beard only if your SATURN is NOT with RAHU or KETU. Only if your SATURN is well placed.

There are five dimensions to growing beard – understand this – this is very significant:

  • Men who grow beard out of DEPRESSIONS, out of SETBACKS – the reason BEARD grows on their face is that THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED to take the EFFORT to SHAVE because they are depressed with situation – with life – and so the beard keeps growing…..

CASE: SHANI is impacted or affected by malefic RAHU or weak KETU. Always remember whenever RAHU is powerful – SHANI is weak.

  • Men who do NOT grow beard – but beard GROWS on its own – because these MEN are not focused much on the OUTSIDE – but WITHIN! These men are the ones who are YOGIs

CASE: SHANI is well placed and moreover in some way or the other ‘touched’ positively by Jupiter -Sri Guru. Always remember whenever SHANI or SATURN is blessed with the blessed touch (Aspect) of Sri Guru – Jupiter then – RAHU is weak.

  • Men who do NOT grow beard – but beard GROWS on its own – because these MEN are so much focused on SERVING the people – SERVING the larger interest of the people – that they simply don’t have much interest in spending their time in shaving every day – these men are KINGS, and PRIME MINISTERS and CEOs – and those who are HIGHEST AUTHORITIES in their profession.

CASE: SHANI is well placed and moreover in some way or the other ‘touched’ positively by VENUS or JUPITER or MERCURY .

  • Men who grow beard – just as a part of FASHION – and giving a different look to their appearance – they generally are the common men or film – media personalities etc.

CASE: SHANI is strong – and generally is well placed with aspects from Venus, Mercury – generally such a horoscope is pure material (BHOGI) by nature – such men don beards to attract opposite sex (Women).

  • And then there are men who simply don’t have the ‘money’ to spend on shaving every day – poverty is the reason behind the beard.

CASE: SHANI is too weak and also afflicted – a sign of a very bad poor past karmic dues. And when SHANI is weak – RAHU comes in power and so such men are of the lowest strata of the society – beggars, thiefs, petty loafers etc.

So you see – SHANI – BEARD manifests is so many dimensions!

And so whenever you observe a man with beard – you first have to ‘see’ through which dimension the man has beard on his face!

Just from the ‘observation’ – a man of awareness can find out – whether SATURN is placed positively or negatively in a man’s chart.

I have seen many men who grow tendency to grow beard when transiting SATURN comes closer to their NATAL MOON – and this happens only during the so called SAADE SAATI period! And the period of SAADE SAATI is the period of TRANSFORMATION – the whole human body is going through transformation – the physical body, the mental plane, the soul plane – the whole person goes through a great CHANGE – and the CHANGE can be revolutionizing – and very surprising too!

Our current Prime Minister – Shri Narandra Modi – also went through a great transformation during his SAADE SAATI Period – he became the PRIME MINISTER of INDIA exactly when his SAADE SAATI was going on – and if you observe the many phases of his life – then ‘beard’ was not on his face during the early stages of his life – 20’s 30’s but as he grew older – the ‘beard’ became prominent – leading him to many prominent positions in politics.

Beard has a ‘connection’ to one’s success – one’s growth in Authority – in gaining Power – but one has to first observe IF beard can truly become a ‘lucky charm’ for you – the way it became for POTUS Abraham Lincoln and PM Narendra Modi.

Always remember – life is NOT one dimensional. Similarly – a BEARD – is also not based on just one dimension – there are many dimension – some of them I have shared with you all.

Generally – SATURN who has the power of providing you with AUTHORITY likes BEARD. But as mentioned earlier – one has to see through what dimension the BEARD has grown or is appearing on the face:

  1. Spiritual penance, meditations – total focus within
  2. Material world gains – running the country, industry, big companies, social work (socialists) – in nutshell – devoted to PEOPLE and PEOPLE’s well being – someone thriving to brings some good things in this human world.
  3. Fashion craze. Changing the overall look of the face – just to appear more matured or more stylish
  4. Out of depression – laziness and ignorant lifestyle
  5. Out of poverty – not able to afford the daily expenses of shaving the beard

In the society you will see men having beards – and most of them will fall in any of the above mentioned categories.

In all the above 5 cases – only the first two cases – where the person simply is engrossed in either in his spiritual journey or material journey – is what SHANI favors – the last three categories doesn’t make any sense to the ‘nature of SHANI’.

Coincidentally today is SHANIVAR – Saturday! And what a beautiful co-incidence that I am writing on the most favorite topic of Lord Shani – the BEARD!

One significant benefit of the beard (Shani) is that a man who is on his spiritual path – when dons a beard – generally women don’t get attracted towards him – and that makes his path more smoother – no disturbances – no distractions and life is a garden of bliss!

Majority of women like clean shave men – so they remain far away – while the spiritual man with his beard continues his journey towards the beyond – the unseen – the divine!

So ‘beard’ has many advantages to it – depends – what ‘reason’ the beard is appearing on the face! 🙂

In the true sense – the real beard is that beard which has grown out of maturity and not the other way round!

People grow beard to look mature – but Lord SHANI is saying that become so matured – become so engrossed in your work for the larger interest of the people – become so engrossed in your meditations that the beard grow on its own accord – and that beard is the real beard – the real sign of your maturity.

Maturity has nothing to do with your life experiences. It has something to do with your inward journey – experiences of the inner. – Osho

Matured person is NOT possessive. He understand LOVE more than anybody else!

Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness. – Osho

SHANI is ORIGINAL. SHANI likes all that is original. To MATURE is to BE YOURSELF! Then NO MATTER what – you will NEVER COMPROMISE. A man who is sure about his stand – about his thoughts – about his perception towards a certain matter – towards life – will NEVER compromise – whatsoever. He may prefer to DIE than to Compromise.

Try to find your individuality, your integrity, and make the effort of not compromising. Because the more compromise, the less you are an individual. – Osho

SHANI is NOT afraid of anybody. A MATURED man is also NOT afraid of anybody. He would NEVER settle – he would never COMPROMISE wit his PRINCIPLES, his IDEOLOGY, his ETHICS – and that is what SHANI likes!

And so DON’T grow the beard – instead let the beard GROW naturally as you REMAIN ROOTED WITHIN – as you REMAIN devoted to your GOALS – to the HIGHER PURPOSE of life!

Those who grow beard – are style masters – SHANI is seeking not style masters – but REAL MASTERS!

Be the real master – look within and let the nature takes its own course as your spiritual journey continues……

Coincidentally today is also SHANIVAR – the day of Lord Saturn and maybe this answer or this post is HIS message to you all – that BE REAL – and then you don’t have to do anything special, you will be SPECIAL – you will be TOUCHED by HIS divine GRACE.

||Aum Sham Shaneshwaraya Namaha||

Shani is a friend, the most beautiful friend you could ever have in this human world! But he is not liked by many because he is a friend who speaks the TRUTH – he will tell you exactly that which is the HARD TRUTH – he is not a fake friend who will just continue to ‘butter’ you – he will always bring you to your senses – he is always the one who will bring AWARENESS to you – without SHANI – this world would have been dead – it is because of SHANI – that the LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS is still in existence – the universe is in existence – the LAW is in existence – today on this day – Saturday, I earnestly prostrate before the Lord of Lords – Lord Shani Dev.

Shani is indeed a friend – a great friend whose worth only a few could understand and it is only those few who rise in life – who become the ‘torch’ – the ‘light’ for many!

Be that ‘light’ – because even one candle can lighten millions of candles – it is possible, it is ALWAYS possible.

Love to you all.

Jai Shani Dev.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Significance of Horoscope Aspects

ASPECT has no direct connection with DESIRE. But indirect connection!

ASPECT is a ‘ unique recipe’ that is born out of your Desire! This DESIRE is RAHU. This desire than gives birth to a unique recipe – called QUALITY. In Indian context we address it as GUNA. A certain soul comes with a desire to have lots of sexual pleasures. Lots of communion with beautiful sexy women. All kinds of luxuries and pleasures of bed is what such a soul DESIRES and so one day – he is BORN with EXACTLY SUCH ASPECTS that PRODUCE RESULTS – QUALITIES (Guna) which manifest into bed pleasures and many luxuries and many comforts- such a man is always a favorite of the opposite sex meaning Women. Because he has all those “things” that a woman longs for!

So you see – this is how the DESIRE (Rahu) gives birth to ASPECTS that in turn give birth to a certain QUALITY ( Guna) and it is this GUNA that goes on shaping the course of your destiny. It is all connected – it is all interlinked – it is all LinkedIn 😊.

Now such a GUNA is called RAJO GUNA ( pleasure seeking QUALITY).

Always remember it is your DESIRE that leads you to Birth. But to satisfy the Desires you need to have the QUALITIES! For example if you want to a singer – you need to have the QUALITIES that can make you a successful singer. These Qualities are signified by the ASPECTS that form in your birth chart.

Once it happened- there was a young man, he must be like me. He loved the master and he was a poor farmer. He used to wash the clothes of the master, prepare food for him, and serve the compassionate divine master in all possible ways….

But one day it happened so that the farmer was serving the master when suddenly there was a lot of noise of firecrackers and so he got up to see what was happening….

The whole atmosphere was filled with the smoke of the firecrackers but after a while he could see the whole fleet of the KING with elephants and horses and the whole Royal proceedings….and at that moment a thought – an intense DESIRE was born in his mind – the DESIRE to become KING. The desire to experience ROYAL LIFE OF THE PALACE….and it was such an intense desire that he could not control his thoughts…he said to the divine master “ Master how beautiful is the life of the KING – so Royal and so Regal. I would also like to become the KING….”

The divine master smiled and said “ Bhola” (that was his name) you have for the first time expressed your desire. Next life you will be born as a KING – I bless you.”

Bhola became happy but soon he realized his mistake….he started crying….he started weeping like a small innocent child ….he said “ Master but then I will have to go far away from you….master I don’t want to be the King – I want to be with you…..please master…..please…”

He burst out in tears and fell upon the feet of the compassionate benevolent master.

The master raised him up, hugged him and said “ Bhola – I have granted your wish – now there is no going back. You will be born in a Royal Family and you will rule for 12 years….”

Bhola said “ But then master – how will I meet you. Next life I cannot imagine with your omnipresence.”

The divine master smiled again and said “ You will come back to me – next life you will come in search of me….how long can a son stay away from the mother….how long can river stay away from the sea…so don’t worry much. Remember to rule with consciousness.”

The words of the master NEVER fail. It always come true. And so in the next birth the young farmer (Bhola) was born in a ROYAL family. He grew up as a SULTAN and had many many pleasures of the bed. Many beautiful maids and women and all pleasures were at his feet. And life was flowing smoothly when one day the Sultan fell sick. And then the whole chase began….best Hakim and best Healers were called to the Royal Court but no luck. And the chief minister became tensed because the Sultan was not recovering in spite of providing the best healers and Hakims and doctors…

Then someone said to the minister “ A great Sufi Saint has arrived in our capital. But he seemed to be a strange person. He never sleeps at night and never eats any food…and yet he is always found in his bliss…in his joy…I think we should take the Sultan to him….he seemed to be a man or miracle.”

The minister was an intelligent man. He could feel – but still to ensure that the man was right – he goes to see the Sufi Saint. And the moment he reached – he could see from distance the glimpse of the Sufi Saint dressed in shimmering green. And even from distance he could sense that this man is something…a certain fragrance…a certain bliss…a certain aura….the minister could not control himself…even though he was observing from a distance…he could feel so much of divinity that he started crying….he wanted to go ahead and meet the Sufi Saint but he thought to first share his feelings with the SULTAN. And so he goes back to the Palace….the Sultan is still on his bed, sick and suffering. The Minister shares his feelings with the Sultan and the Sultan is touched. The next day – the Royal members of the Palace accompany the Sultan and they all reach to the place where the Sufi Saint had been staying. He was seated beneath a tree. And the Sultan himself got down from his Royal Elephant and walked towards the Sufi Saint. And the moment the Sultan touched the feet of the Sufi Saint – the master looked into his eyes and said “ BHOLA”

Just the name – BHOLA – and something moved deeply within the Sultan’s heart – tears started rolling from his eyes….he could now REMEMBER his last birth – Bhola – yes that was my name and I was a farmer and this is my master whom I had left to satisfy my DESIRES…..Bhola burst into tears…not a single word was spoken and yet the WHOLE eternity the WHOLE past birth was before him….he simply kept weeping like a small child….the master (Sufi Saint) smiled and said “ Bhola you haven’t changed a bit… you remain just the way you had always been – a man of heart…an innocent child…”

The Sultan said “ How could I thank you….how could I express my gratitude towards you….even if I write a whole book with my blood in your PRAISE still it will be short to express my Love towards you O master….and I know you came all the way here – in the capital – just for ME for My Sake….please accept my apology for being Late…”

The Master said “ Bhola – it is always better to be late than to be never. Now take this piece of sandalwood with you and apply its powder on your forehead for three days and then you shall be healed.”

The Royal family was observing all of this and they too realized the significance of the divine master. They all bowed before him and then the time to go back came….and the Sultan could not control himself…he was not willing to return to his Royal Palace…he said “ Master I will live with you…I will serve you day and night….just the way I was serving you in my past life…”

The master smiled and said “ Now you are coming back to where you had started from! Now this is the new Desire that you have expressed. When you were with me – you had the desire to become King. And now that you have become the King – you now want to come back to me. The circle is now complete. You are back home.”

The Sultan bowed before the Master. But the Master said “ Still you have certain responsibilities. Remember you are now a King and so the responsibility of your kingdom is on your shoulders. So first return to the Palace, choose your successor and once you are free from all your responsibilities, you can join me back.”

The Sultan got the message. He said “ But master please don’t go away from here…”

The master said “ Where will I go? I am always here. You go now – your people are waiting in the hot sun…you should not make them wait…”

And so the Sultan Returns – but as a totally changed man – as a totally transformed man that the world had ever known! He became prayerful. He built many mosques and also temples – now in his kingdom Hindu and Muslim -both communities started living with Harmony and Love. His kingdom became a heaven for all communities from all over the world. Such was the miracle of the Master – and after a few years, the Sultan renounced everything and joined the compassionate master – and then they left the kingdom – never to be seen again. Nobody knew where they went – but people always fondly remember them…

This is how DESIRES MANIFEST INTO QUALITY. THIS QUALITY is derived through ASPECTS! The young farmer had an intense desire to become the KING and since his KARMIC QUALITY was too good – the master granted his wish. And then the same young farmer – takes birth in the Royal family and becomes the Sultan! This is how the journey of BIRTH and REBIRTH is – balancing the level of your DESIRE and your KARMA – the birth is decided – the birth manifests in a specific ‘family’ that matches the level of your DESIRE and KARMIC QUALITY.

It is the DESIRE that gives BIRTH to QUALITIES – and it is the QUALITIES that gives BIRTH to KARMA and eventually it is your KARMA that gives BIRTH to your DESTINY!

DESIRE > QUALITY > KARMA > DESTINY

So at the ROOT is the DESIRE – the ROOT is RAHU. DESIRE is RAHU!

And so if you want to raise the QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE than you first have to focus on TRANSFORMING your desires to HIGHER LEVEL.

Desire has not to be destroyed, it has to be purified. Desire has not to be dropped, it has to be transformed. Your very being is desire; to be against it is to be against yourself and against all. – Osho

The same PASSION that you have WITHIN you – the same PASSION that provides you with INTENSE SEXUAL DRIVE – this same PASSION – imagine, just imagine – if is TRANSFORMED – if is DIVERTED towards SELF-REALIZATION – towards MEDITATION – towards GOD – than you can attain ‘that’ which never leaves you – but always remains with you – the eternal bliss!

But common man’s passion is towards experiencing SEXUAL PLEASURES – and then when the body becomes old – when he crosses the Age of 60 – he starts remembering GOD! What is the use? Life is already slipping out of his hand – he is already close to his death bed – whole life was spend to attain pleasures of body – now the time is running out – even if he wants to meditate – he cannot – the body won’t cooperate! It has become old – it cannot be of much help!

ASPECTS are born out of DESIRES. A Yogi’s birth chart may have ASPECTS that are totally different than that of a typical Businessman!

The quality of DESIRES when it comes to a real YOGI is of the beyond – the higher altitudes than that of a businessman!

Many insightful businessmen have a subtle desire to become a YOGI – and it has always been the case – that even though they have this subtle desire – they CANNOT – because they remain trapped in their past KARMIC CYCLE which in turn was the result of their lower desires – and this is how millions of men and women remain trapped – they may APPEAR as the EMPEROR – but th REAL EMPEROR is one who has TRANSFORMED his DESIRES to the HIGHER ALTITUDES – and then a time comes in his life – when he moves from DESIRES to DESIRELESSNESS STATE – and that is the STAGE OF BUDDHA – the enlightened master! The REAL EMPEROR is not the one who is caught-up with luxuries and power and sex and money – the REAL EMPEROR is the one who has moved BEYOND these FAKE GOLD and attained the REAL GOLD – the enlightenment.

There are only two types of people in the world: the beggars & the emperors. Those who live in desires are beggars; those who live in completion of silence, peace & love are the emperors. – Osho

Once it happened, I was travelling alone through the Sahayadri mountains – and suddenly I came across a great Yogi – and bowed before Him. It was a great moment – I still remember His words – he had said “Now there are NO PLANETS in my Horoscope”!

How deep are these words – only a meditative man could understand – could relate – could resonate with these words! WHEN THERE ARE NO DESIRES LEFT – where is the question of any QUALITY – he has entered into the NIRGUN STAGE – where there is NO RAJO GUNA, NO TAMAS GUNA, NO SATVIC GUNA – but NIRGUN NIRAAKAR – how beautiful is this stage – I prostrate before that great Yogi whom I had met accidentally!

Accidents are beautiful. Whatever happens accidentally – is something that is truly beautiful. Neem Karoli Baba always used to says – that it happens often that you are set on your journey in the search of a certain thing – but you end up getting something else – which is FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL than what you had planned for!

Often one goes for one thing and find another. – Neem Karoli Baba

Great things are always accidental. Beautiful things happen by accident – embrace all that happens accidentally in your life!

The accidental moments are the real turning moments of life!

Enlightenment is also accidental – if you are seeking to attain enlightenment it may never happen – because it happens only when you never had planned for it but you simply kept ‘walking’ – in HIS love – in HIS devotion – the benevolent master!

Enlightenment is always accidental. – Osho

Just because Buddha had a ‘sweet rice milk pudding’ before HE attained enlightenment – all Buddhist monks follow the same diet before meditating – because they think by eating ‘sweet rice milk’ like Buddha – they too can attain enlightenment someday – sometime – somewhere! So people just follow what they SEE – they cannot FEEL what Buddha felt – they simply remain on the circumference – living a shallow life filled with all sorts of material desires.

One of the greatest astrologer that I personally LOVE is SRI YUKTESHWAR GIRI- the divine master who wrote one of the most enlightening books – “The Holy Science”. But he was NOT an astrologer of the type that you all may know of. He was a great mystic – a great divine master – and Astrology was just a small part of HIS VAST OCEAN OF WISDOM! I prostrate before His Holiness Yukteshwar Giri – the master of the much famed Paramhansa Yogananda!

And a beautiful quote of HIS – that very deeply reflect the answer that I am sharing and also the question that you have asked –

A child is born on that day, and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual Karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future result. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom – These are few. – Sri Yukteswar Giri

Intellectualism can help you to go from A to Z – but then the doors close – then you are locked up – then you are stuck! Intellectualism is LOGIC – your HEAD and HEAD cannot go beyond – it knows ‘CALCULATION’ – it is good in ‘MATHEMATICS’ – but people tend to forgot the fact that ASTROLOGY is NOT MATHEMATICS – ASTROLOGY is NOT LOGIC.

ASTROLOGY is the LIGHT of CONSCIOUSNESS! That is why in the ancient days – it was only the SAGE – the MUNI – the SADHU – the YOGI who were well versed in Astrology – BECAUSE – LIFE STYLE is very important – your own way of living, is very important – in Hindi we address this in one word – ACHARAN – meaning how you perform your DAILY ROUTINE – the purity – the cleanliness – the prayerfulness – and the DEVOTION and the LOVE towards GOD – towards the MASTER!

Always remember – wisdom comes from WITHIN and not from OUTSIDE. And I would rather go a step ahead and say that YES wisdom comes from within but it comes only through the benevolent divine master – HIS LOVE – HIS COMPASSION – HIS GRACE.

Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru, no one can cross over. – Guru Nanak

Love has to be there – unconditional love. Devotion is the higher love – devotion is love overflowing! It is only when you do something with DEVOTION that you can attain success – remember this – this is of great significance.

If your path is through devotion, you will experience the divine, the beloved. Devotees enjoy things more because they make the truth beautiful, they turn the truth into their beloved. Truth is no longer a mathematical calculation, truth becomes steeped in love. – Osho

ASPECTS is QUALITY – what QUALITY you have WITHIN you?

Are you a DEVOTED man – a DEVOTED woman? Or you simply love to follow your LOGIC – your HEAD?

So many such things are derived through the ASPECTS. ASPECTS (QUALITIES) indeed in the perfect recipe that produce certain RESULTS in your life – this RESULTS then impact your MINDSET – your overall PERCEPTION towards LIFE – following which you ACT (KARMA) and then this is how the reservoir of your KARMA goes on building – in Indian Hindu context we address this accumulated KARMA as SANCHIT KARMA!

So many many things are there – maybe one life may fall short – but the ‘journey’must continue – because the beauty – the joy is in the ‘Journey’ and not in the destination. Someday you all must listen to my podcast on ‘Journey is beautiful than Destination’ on my YouTube channel.

Aspects are many – let us see a few that are significant in many ways:

Guru Shani Conjunction. This is my favorite – generally I like people with this conjunction and the people who have this conjunction they too like me – it all happens by default!

Moon Ketu Conjunction. This is my another favorite conjunction – I like people with this conjunction – at times they sound crazy – but then those who are insane are always found to be crazy and yet it is only the insane who can ‘listen’ and ‘feel’ and ‘see’ and ‘experience’ that which others cannot!

Sun Uranus Conjunction- This is again my favorite – intense individualistic people – rebels – and lovers of TRUTH. They blend well with me and I blend well with them – it is indeed a great ‘connection’!

Mercury Venus Conjunction : This is a very common aspect – provides a good romantic chit chat individual – who likes to read a lot – all kind of subjects – from sex to spirituality! These men and women are generally found in groups and gangs and generally are very sociable.

Moon Jupiter Conjunction: These men and women are very religious by nature. If there is absolutely no spiritual angle to this conjunction/horoscope then they generally remain religious all their life – to them religion,tradition, customs and beliefs comes first – the rest comes later. This conjunction provides one unique nature – the nature of ‘doing good’ – and projecting themselves as the good people – the wise people – the knowledgeable people – the negative side is that they are TOO MUCH committed to doing GOOD and many times become VICTIM because people take undue advantage of their GOODNESS! Also these people often don’t get the CREDIT they deserve – because they generally don’t push too much to get credit for their good deeds.

Moon Venus Conjunction: ‘Anandi’ – meaning Joyous by nature. They are born to enjoy the many pleasures of human life – the many luxuries of human world. Sexual pleasures, luxuries of cars, bungalows, beautiful dresses, attractive furniture – basically all that is beautiful – appeals to them – they are indeed the kind of men and women who always aim for the best brands – luxury brands – because luxury, and pleasures of bed is what they long for and generally attain all their desires. They also have certain artistic skills – cooking, dancing, singing, and even in acting they do well.

Moon Mercury Conjunction: These men and women do well in business – because they are very logical men and women. They are too much in the HEAD and in my diary – they absolutely have no place – because neither do I like them and nor do they can like me – it is a total contrast – I am follower of the Heart and they are the followers of the HEAD – the match can never happen, it never does.

Moon Rahu Conjunction: Interestingly many men and women with this conjunction take great interest in Spiritualism – but be aware – they just are ‘interested’ – you see – ‘curiosity’ and nothing more and nothing less. They often come with many illusions – in fact I have met men with this conjunction who started feeling as if they have become some God Men – here RAHU makes their MIND – total chaotic – I always pray to not to meet men and women with such conjunctions – but I end up meeting most of them! They are not bad men or women – they are just ‘lost’ in this ‘concrete jungle’ – but the positive side of this conjunction is that these men and women make great MEDIA persons – great JOURNALISTS, great Film Makers – because this conjunction leads one to focus more on the outside – and when the whole FOCUS is on the OUTSIDE – you can become a good media person, a good journalist – a good actor or filmmaker. These men and women also have to deal with BLACK MAGIC – either they themselves learn black magic or they become victim of black magic – but black magic in some way or the other – always engulfs them – and this is a sure shot reality in maximum men and women with this conjunction.

Sun Jupiter Conjunction: BIG is one word that would define this conjunction. From spiritual perspective this is NOT a good placement – the person is too much trapped in the ‘I AM SOMEBODY’ phenomena – and so they generally are found in BIG SOCIAL CIRCLE of educationist, scholars, pundits. Respectability is what these people CRAVE for – LONG for – and so this people are exact CONTRAST to people having SUN URANUS conjunction! SUN URANUS conjunction men are NOT behind respectability – they simply live by being themselves – for them INDIVIDUALITY is important over RESPECTABILITY. But SUN JUPITER conjunction men and women – they don’t understand anything of this sort – their whole focus is on gaining more and more respectability – eventually they also gain what they long – they become RESPECTABLE MEN AND WOMEN of the society!

Coming to a man like me – may disturb all your illusions about conjunctions – many of you may not even like my sharing – but I am NOT for the many – I am just for those FEW insightful readers – who can understand – readers who are meditative spiritual beings.

There are many more ASPECTS – but for today – enough.

Always remember – this life’s ASPECTS are in born qualities – within you – your own karmic fruits – if you don’t like these ‘fruits’ of your own desires (Rahu) – than come – come you all and start meditating – start learning the language of the Buddha – the language of SILENCE – the language of LOVE – the language of LETTING GO – the language of the Heart!

Tears of joy are the language of the heart. – Osho

When tears flow through your eyes – when you can cry – you can experience GOD – you can experience LOVE – only a man who can cry out of joy – out of love – out devotion – only such a man – such a woman is the most beautiful person on this planet – God comes in search of such a person – the Master comes in search of such a person and then you don’t have to go to the Himalayas – the Himalayas would come in search of YOU!

I always insist that no matter how bad your ASPECTS are – you can always START FROM ZERO – you can ALWAYS GET UP and start moving towards the – Light of Consciousness – Krishna Consciousness, God Consciousness!

You must worship the Self in Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna. – Swami Vivekananda

The larger question that you should ask yourself is – Are you willing to?

If your answer is YES – then there is a better tomorrow waiting for YOU – all you have to do – is to start living your life with more and more awareness. By letting Go – by forgiving. You can do it – it will be difficult in the beginning – but slowly slowly – you will start coming back to your source, back to ‘home’.

Always remember – there is only one ‘home’ and that is NOT on the outside but very much within you – start meditating, start turning inward and come back ‘home’.

There is no home, unless we find it in ourselves. – Osho

The whole purpose of this human life is to – find your home, and you can find it only when you start turning inward. Meditate every day.

Love and Light to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Shifting Homes During Ganesh Festival

One has to understand the PRACTICALITY of this human life. People have all kind of fancy ideas when it comes to spirituality or religious beliefs.

Always remember only a PRACTICAL man can truly progress in his Spiritual journey.

Once a young man had asked a question to great Yogi and he was one of the greatest of all. And the question was “ Which is the most precious flower of all the flowers in this world?”

The Yogi had answered “ Cotton flower”

Very practical. We all are NOT Naked because we have Cotton available. We all are able to safeguard our body because we have Cotton available. Practical things matter more than anything else in this world.

Only a Spiritual man can be utterly practical. He is not an emotional fool – He follows his Heart but stays in the moment – lives moment to moment without thinking of the Past and without bothering about the future. His PRACTICALITY simply reveals the fact that life is NOT in the Past and life is NOT in the future- Life is in the NOW moment and it is wise to always live by being Here and Now!

Ganesh Chaturthi day is the only significant day when ONE must NOT shift his or her residence. After Ganesh Chaturthi day – which falls on 22nd of August 2020 – you or anybody who is reading this answer can Shift and there is absolutely no reason to wait till the Ganesh festival ends.

Ganesh festival was started by Lokmanya Tilak. It was a social initiative to bring people together. It has no religious background but a social background. And so the only day of significance is the day when Ganapati arrives – GANESHA CHATURTHI DAY! After that day – the next day anybody can move or shift to other place of residence.

Remember- Religion is to set you Free and not to Block you.

Vastu Muhurat has absolutely nothing to do with Ganesha festival days. You can simply shift on any auspicious Nakshatra day after Ganesha Chaturthi day.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Ketu: Emptiness, Spirituality, Enlightenment

Mahakashyap always used to be quiet. He used to sit in the corner simply watching the Master – Gautama Buddha. He never talked much. Other disciples would say “Why you don’t talk? And as far as we know you have come from very faraway land…”
He said ” It is true that I have come from very far to attain – to learn – to seek wisdom but the moment I arrived, the moment I had a glimpse of the master – all my quest, all my rush to attain dropped then and there. Now I am happy to just have a glimpse of the master – nothing I wish for, just by being in HIS omnipresence – I can relate, I can understand.”
And it is said that the first disciple of Buddha to attain enlightenment was Mahakashyap. Once enlightened, Mahakashyap realized that now he cannot stay with the master, he has to move on and so he would not go near Buddha. Buddha himself had to walk toward Mahakashyap and say “Mahakashyapa, don’t try to deceive me. Now there is no need to sit under this tree. Get on and move! There are millions of people who are still groping in darkness, and you are sitting here enlightened. Take this fire of your enlightenment and make as many people aflame as possible.” Mahakashyap was in tears. He realized that enlightenment is a great responsibility.

“Enlightenment is not only enlightenment, it is also a great responsibility. You have come to realize the ultimate peace, the joy, the blissfulness. Now it is your responsibility to share it, to go as far away as possible. Now there is no point in sitting by the side of the master.” – Osho

It always happens, a devoted disciple never wants to go away from the Master! Mahakashyap was also finding it difficult to move away from the master – but the master – Gautama Buddha comes and says “ You cannot sit under this tree – there are millions of people groping in darkness, it is your responsibility to share the bliss you have experienced!”

A real master never wants his disciple to remain dependent on him. Always remember this. Lao Tzu, the divine master says – “When the DISCIPLE is READY – the MASTER APPEARS. And when the DISCIPLE is TRULY READY – the MASTER DISAPPEARS.”

“The real master the perfect master never makes you dependent on him. And if any master makes people dependant, if any master creates dependance in people, if he makes people dependent on him, he is not a true master. He is akind of exploiter, he is trying to dominate you in the name of religion. He is trying to enslave you, he cannot give you freedom.” – Osho

Gautama Buddha was the real master and so when Mahakashyap attains enlightenment, the master instructs him to move on – to go back to the towns and cities and enlighten those who are ‘thirsty’ for GOD. Jesus says that those who have the ‘THIRST’ will be filled, will be blessed!

“Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness Shall Be Filled
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
Matthew

Righteousness is SWADHARMA. In the GITA, Krishna emphasis on SWADHARMA. GOD CONSCIOUSNESS is always found in RIGHTEOUSNESS – SWADHARMA!

And so whosoever is THIRSTY for GOD – is HUNGRY to experience GOD – will be filled, will be blessed – because that is what the whole goal is of the God’s ‘messenger’ – be it Jesus, Muhammad, Mahavira or Mahakashyap – the whole purpose is to spread the LIGHT of AWARENESS – make as many people aflame as possible!

This world is vast – so vast that your MIND cannot contain it. But your HEART can!

Always remember if you try to feel the VASTNESS of this HUMAN WORLD by your MIND – you can never feel or realize – but if you sit down, and start moving deeper and deeper into your being – then through the ‘LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS’ that is WITHIN you – you can feel, you can realize the VASTNESS of this whole universe, not just the world on this planet!

And then when you self realize the VASTNESS – you also realize how ‘small’ you are – even smaller than a ANT – and then you realize what a FOOL you have been all these births and rebirths – always moving with such a BIG FAT EGO of “I AM SOMEBODY”!

You see – this is the whole process to come to the realization that “I AM NOTHING” – that “I AM NOBODY”!

Always remember GOD comes only to a ‘NOBODY’ – LOVE flows only to someone who is a NOBODY!

“WHEN YOU LOVE, YOU HAVE TO BECOME NOBODY. IF YOU REMAIN SOMEBODY, THEN LOVE NEVER HAPPENS.”
-OSHO

Once it happened – there was a shrine, a beautiful shrine. And a very old man used to sweep the floors of that shrine. Everyday – every morning and every evening, he would come, bow before the ‘Sufi Saint’ Photo – and then start sweeping the floor. And in that shrine – many scholars and pundits also used to come, and they all would gather and give long discourses and many people would also gather to listen to their discourses and it used to get all packed. And in that crowd, the old man simply would continue to sweep the floors with devotion – his eyes would become wet in the fond memory of the Sufi Saint. Nobody would pay attention to him – he was the most IGNORED person – because people always SEE to all that SHINES – all that GLIMMERS and those pundits and those scholars would always come in shimmering dress – after all people have to recognize them as ‘SOMEBODY’!

One day the music was playing, people had gathered, it was a festive day and suddenly amidst all – from nowhere the Sufi Saint appeared – and the pundits and the scholars and the people – they all rushed towards HIM – to touch HIS feet – but the Sufi Saint IGNORED all of them and rushed towards the old man – the old man was sweeping the floors as usual, reciting the Sufi Saint’s name – and he was so much engrossed in NAAM SMARAN – that he didn’t even realized that the MASTER – whose name he is reciting is coming towards HIM – rushing towards HIM – and the Master came and hugged the old man…..

And the old man started crying……the master said “ Abdul” – that was his name – Abdul.

And Old Abdul said “ Master – I am blessed by your divine touch – how to thank you, how to express my gratitude – how to and what to say – I am speechless.”

The master said “ Abdul – you have said so much through your devotion, you have said so much through your love – that now nothing need to be said – You are mine fellow.”

GOD always comes to a NOBODY. Not to the priest and not to the pundits and not to the scholars and not to the philosophers BUT only to someone who is as beautiful as ABDUL – A nobody!

The whole gathering of people and the pundits and the scholars were taken aback – because they could not understand what was so special in that old man – a sweeper – that the MASTER ignored them and simply rushed towards a ‘Nobody’!

And they haven’t found the answer yet and they will never find the answer ever – because to find the answer – you too have become a NOBODY – like ABDUL – until then you will remain on the circumference – waiting for the answer!

It happens – some of you who read my answers – my posts on this forum or elsewhere – you read and connect because the words that I share surpass your MIND – and then you feel the bliss! So when I am writing – it is my heart – when you are reading – it is your heart – the connection happens because at the moment of writing or reading – the MIND ceases and the HEART wells up!

It is a beautiful relating – a resonance that cannot necessarily happen when I am talking and your are listening – because the state of being ‘NOBODY’ is not at that moment!

It is only when we are in the state of NOBODY that we can connect! A master can connect with the disciple because the state of ‘nobodiness’ is there – it is only in the state of NOBODINESS the real connection happens and not otherwise!

“God is not somebody: He is nobody or, more correctly, nobodiness.
God is not something: he is nothing or, even more correctly, no-thingness.
He is a creative void.”
-OSHO

EMPTINESS. NOTHINGNESS is the very essence of Buddhist Sutras (Sermons)!

Jesus says to Nicodemus “You have to REBORN”. It is a divine message to become a NOBODY – to DROP all the LEARNING, all the SCHORLARSHIPS, all the NOTIONS and preconcieved ideas and to become a ZERO (KETU) – it is only through the ZERO – SHUNYA – EMPTINESS – NOBODINESS that you can experience the divine, the beyond and it is beautiful!

“You are nobody. You are born as a nobodiness with no name, no form. You will die as a nobody.
Name and form are just on the surface; deep down you are just a vast space. And it is beautiful”
-OSHO

MAHAKASHYAP comes – he comes to LEARN, to ASK many questions – just like you – but the moment he came and had the first glimpse of the master – Gautama Buddha – he DROPPED everything – all his idea of asking, talking, questioning – everything was dropped – he remained SILENT – and in that SILENCE – sitting in the corner – he was truly able to CONNECT, to RELATE, to RESONATE with the master’s sharing! The other disciples questioned a lot, talked a lot but it was MAHAKASHYAP who became the FIRST DISCIPLE of BUDDHA to attain enlightenment!

And when he attained enlightenment – he laughed – a loud belly laugh. Buddha was present, he asked “Mahakashyap – you never talked – so now after attaining enlightenment why you laughed?”

Mahakashyap said “ Master – I laughed because I never thought that I would be the first to attain enlightenment – I wanted the others to attain first because they were in rush, I was not in rush – I said to myself – that let others attain first – then in the end I will attain – but I became the first to attain and so the laughter came…..”

This is so significant – this is so beautiful and this is so deep. Only a meditative being can understand the significance of Mahakashyap’s words!

A man who is in RUSH to attain – will NEVER attain. And a man who is in RUSH is always ruled by the MIND – such a man always remains where he is!

Only a man who has moved beyond the MIND can WAIT – can be PATIENT – can wait for years and years – he is the MAHAKASHYAP – he can say “Let others attain – I can attain in the end.”

And surprisingly GOD always opens the DOOR for such a man who is WILLING TO WAIT – WILLING TO BE PATIENT!

I would love you all to be like MAHAKASHYAP – to learn from MAHAKASHYAP – to understand how a true disciple is – only then can you all progress on the spiritual path – till then you will remain on the circumference – with no peace of mind, no joy, no bliss.

Money cannot bring PEACE to you. Always remember this. In fact money has provoked one brother to cut the throat of other brother – Money is the reason for all fights and violence and murders.

Ramakrishna Paramhansa NEVER would keep any money/coins with him. He could not even tolerate touch of money or silver coins. You know the greatest difficulty with me is to keep or even to touch money.

Money has become the MASTER – whereas Money should become your slave and not the master!

Money should NOT drive you – you should drive money. Swami Vivekananda – the disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa quotes:

“He is truly a man to whom money is only a servant; but, on the other hand, those who do not know how to make a proper use of it, hardly deserve to be called men. Hold your money merely as custodian for what is God’s. Have no attachment for it. Let name and fame and money go; they are a terrible bondage. Feel the wonderful atmosphere of freedom.” – Swami Vivekananda

FREEDOM is ABOVE ALL! Many times I feel I should drop everything and just move to the mountains – but then the master directs me back to the city – the time is not yet, still I have to be here, still some ‘pending’ karma is to be fulfilled….

Mahakashyap remains one of the greatest enlightened being – through his journey – he also enlighten us – leaving a wonderful example – of a devoted, disciplined and a meditative disciple who also lived and rejoiced in his NOBODINESS!

A man who has become a NOBODY – has NO FEET, NO WINGS, NO MIND and yet HE can FLY – HE can experience the higher altitudes – the beauty of the BEYOND!

“Walk without feet, Fly without wings and Think without mind” – OSHO

You can also experience the beyond – you can also become a Buddha – you can also be like Mahakashyap – but the question is – are you willing to become a ‘Nobody’?

Your answer will decide your ‘journey’ ahead.

Meditate on the words that I have shared.

Meditate and let the answer well up from your heart.

God will wait for your answer. The Master will wait. The Master can WAIT for eternity – that is how deep the love of the master is – that is how deep the master’s compassion is!

Turn inwards, look within and Find the Answer.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Auspicious and Inauspicious Colors Astrology

There is NO such thing as auspicious and inauspicious color in this human life – if I may say so. We think that we SEE by our eyes – but in reality we all SEE by our MIND!

So we see and the MIND goes on creating many illusions – for a minute keep aside the mind and then the question of what color is good or bad – will simply cease to exist!

Let me tell you and to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers- that if a BLACK garment is offered by Sai Baba to you then tell me – and I say it again – tell me – won’t you keep that utterly BLACK garment close to your heart?

It is the MIND – (the MOON). Colors that you like – are the likes of the MOON – your MIND and the Mind is just a traffic of thoughts that hold no connection to the REALITY of THINGS.

But people want entertainment so then they try to see which color suits which ascendant or moon sign. In reality the TRUTH is that it is all MIND GAME – the reality – the existence is simply happy to relate with you – no matter what color shades you use.

It all depends on the PERCEPTION.

Everything changes with your clarity of perception. When your eyes change, everything changes. – Osho

Always remember if you are living with consciousness- if you are living with love – if there is a certain light of awareness within you then no matter what color you wear or color you use – it will always bring good quality to your life.

What you are from WITHIN is what matters. If you are conscious, if you are living with a certain awareness within then whatever you do – will succeed and if there is absolutely no consciousness, no awareness within you then no matter what you do – will fail. You will get the results based on what you are – WITHIN. Look within. – Osho

When I was in my mid twenties – I was very attracted towards the bright vibrant colors.

Wherever I would go for shopping- I would buy bright vibrant shades. Then slowly time started changing. Then slowly I started changing – then everything around was the same but I was no more the same. Then the meditations then the prayers then the love and life was no more the same! That is the miracle of love and blessing of the compassionate master, the benevolent master. And so now I like light shades – in fact now I like only one shade and that is WHITE. PURE WHITE.

So the point I am trying to make and help you and all my dear followers and readers is that there is no such thing as auspicious and inauspicious colors – there is only one thing – DARK OR LIGHT SHADES! And that’s all!

So if your LAGNA is KUMBH with MEEN RASHI or any other LAGNA – all shades are available to you – to use – the question that you should ask yourself – what quality of shade you want to use – DARK or LIGHT!

AND this is deep. The whole essence is in just one thing – and I specifically say it to all my readers and followers – that ask yourself – at this moment in your life what quality of shade you like – DARK or LIGHT?

DARK simply conveys that you are still at the base level of consciousness.

LIGHT simply conveys that you are now evolving to the higher altitudes of God Consciousness.

And the most beautiful peak comes when you are NO MORE caught up in the Dark or Light shades but NOW you simply love only one color that has no color – no dark and no light – it is called WHITE!

WHITE is a shade that relates to the planet VENUS!

And VENUS is LOVE – unconditional LOVE – PURE LOVE – and therefore VENUS EXALTS in the sign of PISCES – a sign that I love the most – a sign that rules the 12th house – the house of MOKSHA – the house of liberation – the house where the Buddha sits and meditates!

And so see – the answer has come – it is WHITE. You are a PISCES and colors are meant for the MIND – the REALITY has nothing to with any shade. We choose color because we see through our MIND! The BUDDHA would NEVER MIND of what color you offer him because the BUDDHA simply rejoices in a state of NO MIND!

Just out of compassion and love – I am sharing the fact that only WHITE is the shade that surpasses all the shades – it simply shows purity- love , openness and compassion.

When in doubt – always select White. Not because it has to do with auspicious or in-auspiciousness BUT simply because it is ABOVE ALL the notions that hold you back – because it simply sets you free.

Black is to hold on – possessive.

White is to LET GO – total freedom.

And the story of human life is caught up between Black & White! Between Rahu & Ketu.

Rahu wants to cling – possess. Ketu is simply willing to Let Go!

White is a Let Go.

Meditation is a Let Go says the spiritual master – Osho.

Lord SHIVA is the EPITOME of LETTING GO – the EPITOME OF living life with ACCEPTANCE – nobody could accept the ‘poison’ but LORD SHIVA ACCEPTS the poison – drinks it just to SAVE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE – and LORD SHIVA simply rejoices in WHITE – even the flowers we offer to HIS HOLINESS is of WHITE SHADE!

What a coincidence – today is also MONDAY – a DAY to celebrate the WHITE – the PURE – the SHIVA!

And so I have seen that whosoever is following a meditative way of life – who are living in a Let Go – who are living with Acceptance- they slowly slowly start finding comfort in only one shade – WHITE.

And so I never do any discrimination by categorizing anything as good or bad – because after all EVERYTHING is GOD’s Creation and the compassionate master – the divine man whom I love the most – expresses this reality in words that should be written in Gold.

Everything is perfect in God’s creation. Ignorance and suffering exist only in the minds of people. – Ramana Maharshi

Love and Light to all my fellow travelers and followers.

Do follow me on ‘ My Quora Space’.

And always remember – no man or no woman, no color and no day is good or bad – it is what we reflect from within – if a thief can transform into a great Saint – if an utterly hopeless man can transform into the most beautiful person the world had ever known – and you all know – through my sharing I have shared many such real life examples – then tell me – how can we go on labeling someone as auspicious or inauspicious? Always remember – the BAD can TRANSFORM into the GOOD! And always remember – the GOOD – at some point in his life was also BAD!

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

It is within US – within our hands to transform anything that is BAD into GOOD and WE CAN DO IT – only and only if we are willing to turn inwards and self-realize the many many deeper aspects of this ‘journey’ called life.

A woman born on a specific nakshatra is deserted by the society. A man born on a certain aspect is condemned by the society. The society is fake – because the same society goes on lecturing on how to NOT to discriminate! When in reality at every moment of life the society goes on discriminating – making life more difficult than it already is!

But the compassionate master will always ACCEPT you – no matter what color you are wearing on – no matter what nakshatra you are born – no matter how bad the people label your horoscope – the master will always accept you – the larger question is – whether you are willing to come, whether you are willing to SURRENDER!

There are many more things to share but for today, enough.

Meditate and let the ‘journey within’ begin.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
