The whole story of human life is supposed to be focused WITHIN. But the focus is always on the outside and that is where the essence is missed – it is simply missed! The Transit of planets is WITHIN us. Every moment with every breath that you take – CHANGE is happening – movement of VIBRATIONS is happening WITHIN us and these VIBRATIONS are based on certain Qualities. AND these Qualities is what the ancient seers have MAPPED with the outer planets of our galaxy.

Always remember – and I say it to all my followers and readers – that it is ALWAYS – ‘INSIDE OUT’ and NOT ‘OUTSIDE INSIDE’!

What is within you – what you are within – what is happening within you is what VIBRATES with the OUTER PLANET TRANSITS – and WHEN the ‘INSIDE SYNC with the OUT – Result manifests! And YOGA is nothing but this Manifestation! How beautiful is all this – this Human Birth is to SELF REALIZE this process by being MEDITATIVE – by TURNING INWARD – because all that you SEEK *is* WITHIN YOU and not without.

If there is Godliness within you – if you are in LOVE with GOD – then no matter where you are – whether you are in Temple or whether you are in a Market crowded with people – nothing can disturb the Joy – the peace within you!

There was one man – he must be like me – very straightforward – because he had NO Agenda – NO business to make – so when there is NO AGENDA – why would you fear or hesitate! Only a man who has something to lose – a man who is CLINGING to everything that he has – goes on fearing – such a man hesitates.

A woman came to seek this man’s advice – she said “ My whole life I have been to temples and hundreds of temples but NOTHING has ever happened – I have never been happy. Please help me to understand where am I missing – what is it that I have been missing my whole life?”

The man said “For the coming 4 days – you should not take bath. After 4 days come to me.”

The woman came after 4 days -she smelled badly – looked dull – looking at the man she said “ 4 days are over – and I am standing before you.”

The man said “Just outside my house there is a temple – go there – sit for 10 minutes and then come back.”

The woman goes to the temple. Then after spending 10 minutes in that temple – she comes back.

The man says “ How do you feel?”

The woman says “ Are you crazy? How would I feel – I am feeling absolutely nothing – no change, I just want to take BATH first – only then when I visit the temple I will feel FRESH.”

The man looked into the eyes of the woman – there was a certain grace to his look – his eyes twinkled and he said “ Beta – this is what I wanted to let you know – UNLESS you ‘TAKE A BATH’ – UNLESS you CLEANSE the DUST (IGNORANCE) WITHIN YOU – UNLESS you LOOK WITHIN – UNLESS You TURN INWARD and FOCUS WITHIN – how will you ever feel FRESH – even though you visit millions and millions of temples?”

The woman hugged the man, touched his feet – her eyes became wet, she started crying……with every tear drop – the IGNORANCE was being washed away……the man raised her and the woman said “ I found my answer…..the way is WITHIN…..”

Unless you are CLEAN – unless you have TURNED INWARD – unless you have started MEDITATING – no matter how many temples and astrologers and pundits and magicians you visit – NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN TRUE SENSE.

And the REAL HAPPENING is only WHEN something starts moving within you – when you start vibrating with the DIVINE. REAL TRANSFORMATION is WITHIN.

But People are behind Money, power, sex, pleasures – millions and millions of souls have come and gone – and they all experienced all of these – but where are they after they lose the human body – after the leave the human body?

But not everybody can understand this. And so this answer may be collapsed – but as long as it remains – it can benefit a few of my followers and so the answer.

The ancient scriptures mention “ AHAM BRAMHASMI” – meaning “ I AM THE UNIVERSE.” – When I am the UNIVERSE – it signify that all that is in this UNIVERSE – is also WITHIN Me! Our Ancient Sages were highly spiritual beings – some of them were enlightened beings and so they could relate with the reality of ONENESS. Non-Duality – (Advait).

When the thought – ‘I am the Mind – I am the Body’ ceases to exist – the real journey begins – the Journey Beyond!

Now let us see more around your question of one planet transit.

You must have seen the typical Indian Thali (Lunch Plate)? It looks like this:

Our BIRTH CHART is exactly like this THALI. Just the way – not one single dish CANNOT comprise or makeup the whole THALI similarly just one placement of planet or TRANSIT of planet cannot comprise or makeup the whole of the RESULT!

But people have made ASTROLOGY ONE dimensional – when LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

Once you become the center – you start realizing the fact that it is NOT the OUTSIDE that impacts or affects you, it is what lies WITHIN you that affects you and your progress in life.

The ancient sages were not foolish. They were one of the GREATEST SPIRITUAL MASTERS who had SELF REALIZED the fact that what lies within and outside is NOT in CONTRADICTION but rather COMPLIMENTS each other.

The whole UNIVERSE comprises of THREE GUNAS or QUALITIES:

TAMAS GUNA ( Base level – animal instincts quality)

RAJAS GUNA ( Pleasure seeking quality – show off- boasting – lavish quality)

SATVIC GUNA ( God loving – pure- pious – sensitive – forgiving quality)

All the 9 planets or bodies REPRESENT the above qualities. OUR WHOLE DESTINY is BASED ON THE PLAY and COMBINATION OF THESE QUALITIES. The PLANETS are nothing but these QUALITIES. Each PLANET represent a specific quality (GUNA).

SHANI, RAHU, MARS – fall in the TAMAS GUNA (Aggressive, Negative)

VENUS, MERCURY, KETU – fall in the RAJAS GUNA (Pleasure seeking, Royal)

JUPITER, MOON, SUN – fall in the SATVIC GUNA (Divine seeking, Pious, Holy)

Every moment – every day – WITHIN us the the constant play of these QUALITIES (Planets) is going on….when you are ANGRY – when you want to plot against someone – Saturn and Mars are activated.

When you are being too calculating and looking to make a deal – Venus and Mercury is activated.

When you are in a romantic mood – Venus and Moon is activated

When you want to have some hard sex – Venus and Mars is activated.

When you are in a BLISSFUL and devoted mood – Jupiter, Sun or Jupiter, Moon qualities are activated within you.

The point is that NO SINGLE PLANET defines the story of your life – your mood or your Karma.

So now tell me – how can just one transit aspect of Saturn can define or predict the outcome of your life, my life or anybody who is reading this answer – his or her life?

But money has to be earned – so then begins the business of YouTube videos and scary articles on how Saturn in 5th or 7th or 8th does this and that – it is the nature of this human world- to CREATE FEAR because FEAR sells faster than FAITH!

FEAR sells. Mohan asked “Why – why FEAR sells?

And the answer is IGNORANCE. The answer is ABSENCE of SELF-KNOWLEDGE. The answer is the tendency to FOLLOW THE MIND. And the MIND is a monkey. The nature of the MIND is to fear – what will you do? You will continue to perceive life with one dimension and then you are lost – you are simply lost.

But I want to tell all my followers and readers that never perceive life with One dimension- never perceive Astrology with One dimension – never perceive your own SELF with One dimension – BECAUSE life is NOT one dimensional – life is Multidimensional.

But this is human world. There is question of money of survival of doing something to create a storm and so then you see all kind of scary YouTube videos on Astrology or read one dimensional articles on Saturn transit or Rahu transit. But one should realize that all of this is- Pure entertainment and NOT the Truth.

AND Truth is far more dangerous IF you are still caught in the trap of your mind!

Only a man – only a woman who is moving beyond the MIND can FACE THE TRUTH – the rest of the crowd will just continue to remain in their own self-made PRISON OF MIND.

All that you read about astrology transit is ONE DIMENSIONAL – focusing on anyone PLANET. All those YOU TUBE videos that you see are also ONE DIMENSIONAL – they are GOOD for ENTERTAINMENT – but that is all!

And so I keep myself away from the crowd – because they are all focusing on ONE DIMENSIONAL ASTROLOGY whereas ASTROLOGY is meant to be MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

And so I remain away from the crowd – away from all those INTELLECTUALS – away from all those RAHU-ish men and women – because they all move with the CROWD and TRUTH never happens to a CROWD.

“Who is an Individual?” asked Mohan

Individual is that person who is moving beyond Mind. Who is meditating and his or her meditation is not to attain anything but to simply come to the center of his being – because when you are centered – you start overcoming the MIND – that’s its beginning. The Journey from MIND to NO MIND.

Always remember and I say it specifically for my followers that – TRUTH happens – but it happens only when you have become a NO MIND.

My new book NO MIND shares more on the futility of this thing called MIND.

TRANSIT has to be studied and observed COLLECTIVELY – with MULTI DIMENSIONAL perspective. It is like a CRICKET MATCH – you see only the bowler bowling – when in reality you have to understand the fact that it is NOT just the BOWLER who is going to take the WICKET alone – it is the SUPPORT of all the FIELDING teammates that is going to trigger a WICKET (RESULT).

TRANSIT is also not PLANET based. It is NAKSHATRA based. SATURN is transiting in which Nakshatra? Which Nakshatra Pada? Every Rashi or Zodiac Sign has 4 Padas.

So the whole story of transits is not just about the Sign – but about 27 Nakshatras and 108 Padas and their Ruling planets!

Now that we have seen the whole detailed NAKSHATRA PADA and its RULING PLANETS – let us see how SATURN will TRANSIT through CAPRICORN (MAKAR) for the coming months and years.

SIGN CAPRICORN –

SATURN for the initial coming months will simply transit through the following PADA of UTTARASHADA NAKSHATRA – targeting – KETU, SUN, MARS. So on a very generic viewpoint the house ruled by these 3 planets and the house they are placed – all the matters related to these houses will come forth. AGAIN it is NOT that SATURN always brings PAIN and SUFFERING. A POSITIVE SATURN (Meaning POSITIVE PAST KARMA) can also enlighten you – make you aware of the matters related to these 3 PADA RULERS in your horoscope – but as mentioned earlier – you cannot just have ONE DIMENSION of SATURN TRANSIT – you have to consider the whole plethora of planetary transits – to come to a conclusion or observation.

SO Saturn will transit through 9 PADAS and every time each PADA RULER will determine a certain quality – direction to the events that SATURN MAY PROVIDE COLLECTIVELY WITH OTHER TRANSITING PLANETS – as mentioned earlier ASTROLOGY IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL just the way LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

So whoever is following me – should NOT take the Youtube videos or articles seriously – because if they are just focusing on one planet transit leading to a certain result than all that is fake – it can be a good entertainment but not a reality.

But the larger question is who wants to know the reality!!! ENTERTAINMENT sells – REALITY does not.

REALITY will kill all your notions and preconceived ideas about Astrology. And so I never entertain anybody who wants to learn astrology from me. Because it is impossible- he or she will go nuts – because Truth is hard, very hard.

And so I keep sharing through this forum. It is a SILENT sharing – those who can understand will resonate with me – those who cannot will ridicule me.

But what I am – remains.

My state does not change based on OTHER’s judgement because once you know – who you are and what you are – does it make a difference to what the world has to say about you?

And I tell this to all my genuine followers and readers – that this is very significant. If anybody in your life considers you as utter foolish and mad – does that make a difference to your state IF you know who you are and what you are from WITHIN?

It does NOT.

Yesterday Mohan said “ A few people called me ‘ Beggar’ “

I asked “ Mohan – how much is your bank balance?”

Mohan said “ Around 20 Lakhs in savings and some 10 lakhs in equity.”

I said “ Then are you a Beggar?”

Mohan quickly responded “ No I am NOT”

Then I smiled and said “ Then tell me Mohan – what difference does it make if those people or the whole World calls you Beggar- YOU know the state of your reality. You know that you have a big fat bank balance. You know you are RICH.”

Mohan felt relieved. And this is what I am telling each one of you – whoever is reading this answer – that NEVER MIND what the other say about you – when you know your own reality!

But then the larger question is that – Why we don’t get it? Why we take such offenses to our heart? Because we are ALWAYS seeking VALIDATION from OTHERS. Because we Always want to validate that “ I am Good” from others – especially from our near and dear ones.

You see – we always seek CERTIFICATE OF GOODNESS or GREATNESS from Others and this how we go on missing life – this is how we continue to depend on the other’s opinions about ourselves who are still to know themselves!

And this is the greatest irony of this human world. We are not happy until we hear someone validate our greatness our goodness.

A man who turns inward – a man who self inquire – a man who is trying to self realize his own qualities and his own short comings – need no certification or validation from others. HE is perfectly aware of himself – he knows his foolishness and he knows his being wise- and he knows the art of balancing these two ends and this art of balancing the negative with the positive makes him a Buddha!

BALANCE. A Balance has to be maintained. TOO MUCH of WISDOM will make you a long face and TOO MUCH of FOOLISHNESS will make you Suicidal.

LAO TZU – the divine spiritual master says “TOO MUCH IS THE ONLY SIN.”!

And nowadays when it comes to TRANSITS – specially of fearful planets like SATURN or RAHU – the whole media is bend on doing it TOO MUCH to cause FEAR within you and so I UNDERSTAND. I perfectly understand from where your question is coming and because I understand – I am helping you and through you – all my followers and readers to come out of this TOO MUCH of EXAGARRATION that focuses on just ONE DIMENSION of planet’s transit and jumps on conclusions- if Astrology would have been so simple – then everybody would have become an Astrologer by default! But that’s not the case. That’s not the reality.

Apart from Transits – there are many many movements happening WITHIN you – many transits and changes happening within you – what are they?

MAHADASHA. ANTARDASHA. PRATYANTARDASHA. TRANSITS OF OTHER 8 PLANETS OR ENTITIES. EACH TRANSIT MANIFEST ITS OWN QUALITIES VIA NAKSHATRA AND PADA . SO AT A GIVEN TIME – 9 PLANETS TRANSITING THROUGH EACH NAKSHATRA – THAT BRINGS 9 MORE NAKSHATRA LORDS AND THEIR PLACEMENTS. THEN COMES THE CONSTANT OCCURENCE OF NEW MOON DAY AND FULL MOON DAYS – IN BETWEEN ARE THE QUARTERLY ECLIPSES- SO MANY MANY MOVEMENTS OR TRANSITS HAPPENING WITHIN YOU – SO how can just ONE planet transit bring forth the whole story that you are going to experience NOW or the NEXT moment?

But who wants to listen? That is why my Guru always used to say that Astrology is a very complex subject – understand it, self realize it BUT don’t get carried away by it!

Astrology is good as long as you don’t get carried away by it. It is good to know certain aspects of astrology- but astrology is just a small river – a very small river – a very small subject of the larger subject that is SPIRITUALITY. Spirituality is a VAST OCEAN – ASTROLOGY is just one small river that flows and merges with it – and if it does not than you remain just a calculating parrot and I would not want all my followers to become a parrot – I would love to see all my readers and followers to become EAGLES – to UNDERSTAND the true meaning of ASTROLOGY – to understand the true essence of ASTROLOGY – once you understand the basics – then you are ready to build your own tower.

You all have to focus within – and realize the fact that you got to have a multi-dimensional perspective towards Astrology and LIFE in its totality – else the Bull anyhow goes round and round – it thinks that it is travelling a lot – walking a lot – going to many places – but the FACT is HE simply moves round and round and round – leading him to nowhere!

But you all – and you all must be special because following me is not everybody’s potential – and so I would not like to see you all going nowhere – and the moment you starting focusing WITHIN – you find the way – and so come you all – come and close your eyes and spend 20 minutes daily in deep meditation. Gradually increase the time. Because life is short – time is running out – Death never comes with a scheduled appointment – Death simply strikes and you don’t know – when?

But Life is Beautiful because there is Death! Had there been NO DEATH – we would not have valued the immense significance of the precious LIFE that we live! Had there been NO DIFFICULTIES, NO CHALLENGES, NO FAILURES – we would not have valued the SUCCESS that we achieve! So you see – Sugar and Chilies make the ‘dish’ tasty – similarly failures, and success makes our ‘life’ meaningful – it adds a certain quality of depth of understanding to our existence!

So never complain – never say “ I don’t get what I deserve” – because LIFE is a JOURNEY – a beautiful Journey. Ups and Downs of life – keeps you ALIVE.

“Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.” – Ratan Tata

And this is EXACTLY what TRANSITS is all about. UPs and DOWNs. If you had a good phase of certain transits – chances are that the next phase may not be so good – followed with the next phase that will be too good and this is how the cycle of transits continue – cycle after cycle – but what TRIGGERS these transits is your PERSONAL – very PERSONAL BIRTH CHART DASHA PERIODS and PROGRESSIVE CHARTS – and the overall picture that your SUDARSHAN CHAKRA interprets.

So I earnestly appeal not just to the questioner but to all my dear followers and readers that DO NOT GO BY just one transit of a certain planet – ASTROLOGY has much to it and it is always in your interest to take a balanced view after evaluating all the supporting aspects and transits and DASHA and progressions of your personal birth chart.

This whole life is like a seesaw!

Today you are DOWN – and tomorrow you are UP – but it is this UP and DOWN that makes our life a meaningful life. Pain comes, wounds of failures and rejections are there BUT it is only through these WOUNDS that you MATURE and you EVOLVE as a much better much conscious human being – aware, forgiving and loving human being.

And so I tell you all – DO NOT FEAR the WOUNDS – do not complain – do not regret the WOUNDS because this is the way life is ought to be! This is how life blossoms – this is how you flower – this is the way of its happening!

You don’t have spend your valuable time in reading about transits because not a single person can give you the HOLISTIC VIEW of what is going to happen with you through just one planet transit! For that your personal chart need to be observed and all the hundreds of possibilities taken into consideration before reaching towards a conclusion! It is deep – but people are shallow – today’s AGE is like that – you cannot do much about it.

But you can always help yourself by turning inward and Meditating! You can always try to change yourself! When I was clever I wanted to CHANGE the world – but when I became wise – I started changing myself says the divine Sufi Saint – Rumi!

So come – come you all and Meditate.

Meditation is simply entering into yourself – turning inward – by focusing all your energy on the name of the Holy Lord. Meditation is an entrance within your being. And the entrance is so deep that nothing remains, no body, no mind…..and yet all is found!

Focus within – understand and self-realize the fact that the transits the planets the Nakshatras – they all are NOT outside but WITHIN your being.

Perceive LIFE in TOTALITY. Perceive Astrology in TOTALITY. Unless you are TOTAL – there is NO coming to the TRUTH. The only way to self-realize the TRUTH is by BEING TOTAL. Be TOTAL.

How can you be total? Totality will come one day. After you have reached your very innermost core, you will be total in your actions. The Key is to turn inward and realize your SELF.

Turn inward. Close your eyes. Fall in love. And Stay there. Focus on your breathing – listen to the voice within.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha.Jai Guru.

In Maharashtra – the land of the Great Marathas – there is a famous saying and it is, in reality, the greatest irony. The saying goes like this “ We want Shivaji – but not in our house – rather in the neighbor’s house.”

Chatrapatti Shivaji Maharaj – one of the greatest warriors and wise ruler – the world had ever known! Fighting against the mighty Mughals – Shivaji established Swarajya- (self-rule) where every religion was respected, where everybody had the freedom of expression. He dedicated his whole life for the betterment of the people of his region which is now “Maharashtra” – and yet, the people of the state have coined this famous saying – “That Shivaji is Great – but it is better to have him in the neighbor’s house but not in ours!”

RISK. Nobody wants RISK. DANGER. Nobody wants to face DANGER. Unsafe. Nobody wants to live a life that is always on the edge of the sword!

And the Great King Chatrapatti Shivaji Maharaj’s life was full of RISKS, DANGERS. ADVENTURES. VALOR. FIGHTS. Always on the edge of the sword! And that is how this saying was originated – its essence is that ‘we all love Shivaji, we respect him, he is our God – but we would want him to be born in the neighbor’s house but not ours!’

Such is the mind of the common man. Small mind. Small heart. Shallow life. Shallow understandings! HE is not willing to have someone as great as Shivaji in his house – a rabbit cannot host the LION – to host a LION – you got to have the heart of a LION – the vision, the daring, the understanding of a LION! And so the commoners cannot be blamed – with shallow people what else can you expect?

Common men love and respect Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Bose, Bhagat Singh – but just ask them – would you like to have a son like one of these great men?

And very few would step ahead! Because the common is perfectly aware that to have someone as great as these men – he has to – let them go – he cannot bond them in marriages, in that typical four walls of ‘family life’ – he has to let them go – he got to have the daring to sacrifice his son or daughter for the NATION – for the GREATER INTEREST of the people! And so not everybody is willing to take this risk – they want a ‘normal’ mediocre life for his son or daughter – where there is not much risk, not much of sacrifice – you see – it pains to read this – right? Truth is hard – but the truth is the truth – you may ignore it – but the truth remains! The masses – the commoners are too much afraid of all that ‘risks’ their comfort zone – it is only one in millions – who dares to JUMP – he or she JUMPS first and then thinks later!

But common man thinks a lot. A lot of energy is spent on thinking, planning – when in reality you don’t know what is going to happen the next moment!

Somebody as courageous, as innovative as Steve Jobs (Apple Founder) could ‘relate’ with Neem Karoli Baba – long back when he was planning to form a company which is now APPLE – he had visited in the early 70s to meet Neem Karoli Baba! It is said that Baba’s favorite fruit was Apple and maybe that is what inspired Steve to have his company’s name and logo as Apple!

So such unique men can understand. They can relate to the depth of the matter. Steve Jobs had to suffer a lot – the company he formed – later forced him to resign – until he was called back in his later years of life! And it was his return that enabled Apple to come up with the revolutionary idea of i-phone! Today i-phone has become the cherry on the cake – the most glamorous phone.

One has to understand men like Steve Jobs – one has to understand the innovative, the risk-taking – the dynamic attitude of such great men.

But people are just happy with i-phones! Shallow life, Show-off life – if i-phone is great – then how great must be the man who introduced such a masterpiece to the world. But people don’t care for the depth – they are just happy to have an i-phone!

Everybody wants a safe life, no risk, no danger, just to warm up in cozy comfort zones. People are just happy to know about the comfort zones (houses) of the horoscope. 8th house makes them uncomfortable. 12th house matters make them uncomfortable. The commoners fear the 8th, the 12th. They cannot understand, they cannot ‘relate’! You can ‘relate’ with a certain person – only if his and your understanding is on the same level – only then the understanding is possible, only then the ‘resonance’ is possible – then there is a music to it – then there is a joy to it! But shallow people are more. So understanding rarely happens. And so disputes are more than harmony. Hate is more than love. Criticism is more than appreciation!

The commoners are not willing to dive in the unknown – for that courage is required and not many people are courageous. Not many people are risk-takers!

The 12th house is the way towards the unknown, the unseen, the beyond!

AND when Saturn sits in 12th – he brings along his censorship. Now all that is adventurous, dynamic, thrilling is restricted. Now the beautiful treasures of the 12th house are locked. The person is quick to become frustrated over small matters, small failures. You see – the very source of the beyond is locked – as if the ‘aliens’ cannot connect with the native or in simple words – the ancestors – the angels cannot connect or relate with the native. The forefathers want to share the ‘message’ with the native but they cannot – the doors are locked! Such a native lacks ‘ideas’ – because how the ideas will come? The doors of the 12th are locked – ideas come only from the cosmic terrestrial and you can receive those ‘ideas’ only if your ‘antenna’ is in the position to receive. Here the ‘antenna’ is blocked. The person feels suffocated. He or she is moving around, with a smiling face – but inside – they feel suffocated. And because there is no ‘opening’ towards the beyond – ideas lack and lack of ideas leads to lack of fortunes! And so 12 Saturn also stress out the finances – the bank savings. Health issues also crop up – because when cosmic suffocation exists – the health cannot blossom. Connections with all that is ‘foreign’ – is also blocked or restricted. Generally, such a man travels within the country but not outside the country or his place of origin.

Such a placement is a signal from Saturn – that in past life you were allowed to connect with the cosmic world, with the foreign world – but ‘chap’ you messed up with the liberties showered upon you – so now this life – I am going to lock you up on this front – be aware! ‘Lock you up’ – people at the base level – souls that are not much evolved – if other aspects are of negative nature than this 12 Saturn often leads to – imprisonment!

But why? why so? It is simple. 12 Saturn is aspecting the 2nd house of VALUES, ETHICS, PRINCIPLES. All of these virtues are scaled down by Saturn 12. And so the native has no further support of Lord Jupiter – then – man, he or she is in trouble. Imprisonment at some stage of life is not ruled out!

To all my readers, followers and friends – remember how Saturn’s intensity of DRISHTI works:

SATURN 3rd Drishti – 100%

Saturn 7th Drishti – 75%

Saturn 10th Drishti – 50%

When you are standing at the main door of your house – who falls in a much closer view – much effectively – the house opposite to you or the house just next to you? Obviously – next to you-you can very well see or hear what is happening in the house next to you than in the house that is opposite to you.

Similarly SATURN aspects more intensely on the house next to it – in this case the Ascendant! That is why a woman or man with Saturn in Ascendant is in a far better position than a person with SATURN in 12th!

Saturn 12 – casts its Drishti on Ascendant (health, personality), Finance, Service/Job/Health & Fortune – basically casting his censorship.

Saturn 1 – casts its Drishti on Second (Bank Balance/finance) – Property/House, Marriage (Delays in marriage but not denial), and CAREER (delays in career matters/success matters related to his or her profession)

So overall – Saturn 12 and Saturn 1 are twins. More or less – the effects are similar except that SATURN 1 – does not face the blockage of connecting with the foreign world or the cosmic/supernatural world – that is one major difference and a rewarding one for Saturn 1 men and women!

FEAR. When 12th house is blocked by Saturn – the FEAR FACTOR is more than the FAITH FACTOR. Yesterday – a man received a call from the Police. He did not pick up the call. He just became worried – fearful – why the Police gave him a call? His transiting Saturn 12 would not let him live in peace – FEAR is constantly on his mind! Then his good friend inquired – by calling back on the same number – on the other end – and the Policeman said: “It was a wrong number – by mistake, we called on your number, sorry for calling.”

So this FEAR of the Police (12th house) FEAR of unknown trouble, unexpected problems (12th house) FEAR of the unseen, the supernatural, the ghosts, the black magic – all of this – whatever is ‘smoky’ instantly becomes a reason of FEAR!

And the truth of life is that LIFE begins where FEAR ends!

FAITH in GOD – in the divine Master – has to come out of LOVE and not FEAR!

But temples are packed with devotees – with pilgrimages who are coming at the feet of the LORD – not by Love – but because of FEAR!

You are fasting on every Mondays. And one Monday you missed – you just missed by chance – now-now what? Immediately you are haunted by FEAR. Now what Lord Shiva will say – now what Lord Shiva will do – now what will happen!!! You see – the majority of those who say that I believe in God or I visit temples or I perform certain poojas or rituals are doing it out of FEAR. TRUTH is very hard. Many of you may simply hate me – but that is fine, I don’t care, because I am not here to get upvotes, I am here simply to share the truth.

FEAR dominates our life. And I am encouraging all my followers and my readers to replace this FEAR with LOVE. When you fast out of love – your fasting is fructifying. When you are visiting Lord Ganesha, Shiva or any GOD – out of LOVE – then your PRAYERS are heard, your PRAYERS are answered. But these so-called PRIESTS and PUNDITS have made GOD – a whole business of FEAR – FEAR AND FEAR AND MORE FEAR!

The day you are visiting the Church, the Temple, the Mosque – out of LOVE FOR THE LORD and not out of FEAR – you have ‘arrived’ – your prayers are going to be answered!

Courage is needed. And courage comes only when there is something far more important than fear.

Saturn 12 blocks this courage. Brings ignorance or rather signify ignorance. And ignorance brings fear. And Fear makes you miserable, vulnerable.

Those people who continue to live in their comfort zones have no real adventure – the real thrill in their life. Such a person lives without any adventure lives without fear but also without happiness. He lives a convenient life, comfortable, cozy, but dull, stupid, meaningless, with no joy, no song, no dance; nothing ever happens into his being, he simply vegetates. From birth to death he simply goes on dying every day, each moment, slowly. Of course, his death is so slow that he cannot feel it. It is a kind of slow suicide.

People have chosen this kind of slow suicide just because they want to avoid all fear. This is avoiding life itself, and if you avoid life you are avoiding God.

Somebody asked Mark Twain once, “What do you think are the three best things in life?”

Humorously, sarcastically, he said, “The first best thing is never to be born. The second best thing is to die immediately after birth. And the third best thing is to die as soon as possible.”

But his humor has a tremendous truth in it. That’s your logic too, that’s the logic of the average mind, that’s the logic of mind as such.

Mind is very much afraid of the unknown because the mind feels capable when you are functioning within the boundaries of the known. Mind means knowledge. You are acquainted with it. You know all the pros and cons; you know what to do, what not to do. You have passed through the same route so many times that now you can pass with closed eyes without any fear of stumbling into anything or falling or going astray. You can function like a robot. Mind consists only of the known. The moment you start inviting the unknown in, the mind freaks. The mind says, “No, this dangerous. I am not willing.”

And that is exactly what a Saturn 12 person says “No, this dangerous. I am not willing.”

It is the state of closed mind! See – how beautiful astrology is! Saturn 12 is indeed a closed mind. And God comes, happiness comes, joy comes – only to a mind that is OPEN – only to a mind that is willing to go beyond – to the unseen – to the unknown!

A wise man is a meditative man. And a meditative man is always moving beyond the mind. He is perfectly aware that MIND is a monkey, that MIND is an illusion – and so his effort is always to overcome the MIND.

The intellectuals are following their MIND. The intelligent are following their HEART! Understand the difference, savor the difference.

The mind goes on thinking about truth, and the truth goes on waiting to be realized, but the meeting never happens. The meeting is possible only if the mind stops functioning because mind means the past, mind means the future. The mind is never here now. Whenever you start thinking, you are going astray. If you stop thinking, suddenly you are at home. You had never gone from there; the whole wandering is like a dream. Otherwise, you have lived in God, you have lived as gods — that’s the only way to be. But you don’t realize it, because you go on thinking about it.

And the sole purpose of this human life – is to move from the MIND towards the HEART – and that’s precisely what meditation is!

But a man who has Saturn 12 finds it difficult – because his ‘beyond’ (12th) is now restricted – the signals of the cosmos cannot be received – the satellite is impotent to receive the signals – the person remains ‘blocked’ – and the irony is that the person never realizes this ‘blockage’ – he or she is busy in their ‘limited’ version of life!

With Saturn 12 – you become a limited version. With Jupiter 12 – you become an unlimited version! But what exactly is this fuss about limited and unlimited – and the answer you will find in this insightful words of Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi:-

Saturn 12 – a great hurdle between the unconscious and the conscious mind. Connecting the unconscious with the conscious becomes difficult – moreover 99% with this placement – never even realize that how much of ignorance has taken over – they simply continue to exist and operate in the utter darkness of ignorance.

In Astrology – there is nothing bad and good as such. It is simply a representation of your Karmic accumulation. The past actions performed out of ignorance can always be corrected. An astrologer is basically to bring you to the stage of awareness – once you are aware, once you become conscious – on your own – you start taking the right actions – the corrective actions and then there is a song to it, music – a dance! Then life is no more a problem but a garden of bliss. Remember – there is nothing called BAD. There is nothing called SIN.

There is always a solution to your problem. Saturn 12 also has a solution. In the past life/lives – God had been too kind with you – but you misused – took advantage of HIS grace – did many ‘wrong’ things, used your power to connect with the higher energies for selfish reasons – so basically your consciousness continued to take a backseat – you continued to become more and more ignorant – more ignorance gave birth to more selfishness and ultimately you have reached to this Saturn 12 stage – where God has finally put a latch on your spiritual freedom – the understanding of spiritual realms.

So now what is the solution? The doors to the beyond are locked. What is the solution? Do you remember your childhood days? When you would act too badly out of ignorance (childhood ignorance) – your father or mother would scold you and ask you to first behave properly – become a good boy or good girl and then the showerings of grace and love will be unlocked!

Similarly, you have to first address the state of your Jupiter – your consciousness – your righteousness – your awareness! And so the solution in astrology terms is simple – Start fasting on Thursdays – Visit Lord Krishna or Lord Vishnu temple – Donate food – all that is sweet and nutritious by nature. Meditate. Wear a yellow topaz – there is no harm in wearing yellow topaz – it is the safest gemstone – one could ever think of and also beautiful.

Just focus on raising your consciousness – with more consciousness – your Jupiter will improve – and if not in this life – at least for the coming lives – your effort in raising your awareness (Jupiter) will help you unlock the gates of the 12th house and GRACE will come rushing towards you – the beyond, the unseen, the unknown – will soon come to hold your hand and walk you through the many seen/unseen difficulties of life!

12th is the climax. 12th is the liberation. In 12th lives the unseen, the unknown – the angels. You will come to the 12th – the climax, the point of liberation (moksha) – the ultimate realization – only when you have lost everything – only when you have dropped all that had been a hurdle between you and the Master – your lord! And so to the material world – 12th is the house of loss – but to the spiritual world it is the most beautiful house of all houses – for “the cup is useful only when it is ‘empty’”! Then the divine can come, then the grace can be received. The 12th is the MOUNT KAILASH – yes it is the end. New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings! 12th is the beginning of the ASTRAL Journey – it is the ABODE of LORD SHIVA!

In ancient Rome, Diogenes was a great spiritual master. And he would roam naked and yet Alexander the Great would come to seek his blessings! And he would carry a small wooden bowl in his hand. That was the only possession he had – just to help him drink some water. Then one day – as he roaming around the town – he saw a dog drinking water from the nearby river. And said to himself – “If a dog needs nothing to drink water – then why should I hold on to this wooden bowl?”

AND then everything was dropped. NOTHING was left – Diogenes laughed at himself – only the WISE can laugh at himself!

In this ‘Nothingness’ – Diogenes rejoiced. He laughed, and he continued with his spiritual journey – those who came to him – were blessed with many wonderful experiences – they were totally transformed into something that they never had imagined of!

“NOTHINGNESS” – the 12th house is this nothingness! Blessed is the man whose 12th house is pure and positive!

Nothingness is the basis of everything.

12th is the beauty. The real gold is found in the 12th – the gold that the world has been chasing all their life is not to be found in any other house than the house of 12th – rest all is fake gold, the real gold is only to be experienced in the ABODE OF MOUNT KAILASH – the ABODE of the 12th!

Jai Bhole! Shiv Bhole! Har Bhole! Let us rejoice in the Abode of the 12th – the Abode of Lord Shiva. Let us be more and more meditative. Let us focus on doing good, the greater the quality of our KARMA – the greater is the quality of our meditation. Remember always – it is all ‘connected’!

Aum Namaha Shivay! Aum Namaha Shivay!

Any positive planet in 8th house – is not bad but rather good! When the KING of the universe – goes in the darkest place – what happens? The dark place is no more dark – it ‘lightens’ up! It is no more a graveyard – it has now become a meditative place. It is no more just a common mountain – it has transformed into ‘Mount Kailash’ – it has become special, it has become the ‘Abode of Shiva – the supreme consciousness’!

And so Jupiter in 8th house is a special blessing – it is in no way negative but very much positive! What is negative is the ‘Strict disciplinarian’ coming to the darkest place of your birth chart. Saturn in 8th house brings difficulties in life – but because the KING of Universe – Shri Guru (Jupiter) is also placed in 8th – you can survive the difficulties that Saturn brings in with this placement!

It bring inclination towards occultism – person wants to dig and get to the bottom of the subject – so in a way it is good placement for researchers, scientists, detectives, CID officers, CBI officers. If other aspects are supportive than it is also a good placement for having a disciplined spiritual life! Such a placement encourages the individual to stay fit and maintain his or body by being disciplined.

This placement – definitely gives a long life – provided Venus is placed in a positive house in a beneficial Nakshatra (star) . The best remedy is to visit Goddess Laxmi temple – every Friday – worship her – the name of the Lord has the power to make your life less of miseries and more of happiness! Such a man or woman should definitely worship the female deity – with utmost faith and love!

The greatest strength of those men who are learned and have self-realized is the willingness to forgive and the strength of love.

Aum.

Good question. Saturn is in itself – a very hard planet – hard in the sense – there is no mercy shown. He is the Judge – and Judge is not to be blamed for your misdoings – his job is simply to be fair and provide justice.

In Libra – Saturn is more relaxed. So Saturn in fifth house – will not delay a woman’s progeny – rather provide her with a child and make her more responsible for his or her upbringing! So you see – here the delay is replaced with responsibility – so the ill effects of an exalted Saturn is more and more responsibility in relation to the house it signify.

Bad Saturn is delays. Good Saturn is more responsibilities. So much that the native feels burdened! A woman had Saturn in 5th (Libra) – and she had Jupiter in 7th (Sagittarius) – so then what happened? She married at the age of 28 – she became pregnant at the age of 30 – and just after delivery of her first baby boy – she was forced to leave her house within 4 months! Later she was legally divorced – now tell me – isn’t the 5th house Saturn in Libra – made her a SINGLE-MOM! And only a Single-Mom knows how challenging is the responsibility on her shoulders! So basically person feels burdened – no mother would feel her child’s responsibility as a burden – but still as a human being – one does feel burdened!

So Saturn in Libra – is like a strict military officer at his favorite place! So he is not going to punish you or being too harsh as he would be when outside at some other place – but he is going to impart all his qualities upon you – he is disciplined – he will make you disciplined, he knows what is responsibility and so now he will make you realize what is responsibility! So you see – he is practical by nature so he will now make you practical by nature. So being in LIBRA – Saturn bestows all of his qualities that Saturn considers to be necessary for the souls/individual’s growth!

So if the person is ignorant (weak Jupiter) he may consider these qualities that Saturn wants you to experience – as evil or bad.

But someone who is living with consciousness – he or she would ‘evolve’ through the process of Saturn’s rigorous ‘sessions/phases’ – leading to a much matured person than he or she was!

Maturity is when you learn to live in the moment! A man of awareness lives his life moment-to-moment. He is not thinking of his PAST, and he is not worried about the FUTURE, he is simply happy to be – in this NOW moment!

Ignorant men cannot understand what is good and what is bad for them and so they end up labeling anything that brings them pain as ill-effect or evil – and they miss – they simply miss to realize that the pain, the hardship is not to cause them pain, but to bring them much closer to their ‘self’ consciousness!

But people are ignorant and so they simply don’t get it – they are lost due to their own ignorance!

Now the woman who was divorced had to bear the responsibility of bringing up her son – all by her own efforts – but slowly she reached to a stage where she became an independent woman! So you see – on the outer circumference – an ignorant person may label the affect of Saturn in Libra as ill-effect – but a conscious man – is perfectly aware that – this is the way of Saturn to help the native to ‘evolve’ and transform into a much better person – a much matured person. Libra Saturn is favorable to the native and so such a Saturn raise you to new heights – in life!

If the same Saturn had been of Aries in 5th – this woman would not have become pregnant so quickly and now instead of responsibility – this Aries Saturn frustrates her – because she rarely is able to conceive a child – so here the story changes 360 degree! Here Saturn has no interest to raise you in life – but rather is simply interested to give you more hardships and pain!

So Libra Saturn is in reality not a negative placement. You have to see where Jupiter is placed – where Rahu is placed – where Mars is placed – because these 3 planets rules the stars of Libra! The best place for Saturn is in the star of Jupiter (Vishakha) – here Saturn truly exalts and is so much happy that generally the native with Saturn in Vishaka is more luckier than guys with Saturn in Chitra or Swati!

Compared to all 3 stars or nakshatras – Saturn in Swati – gives a bit tough time then otherwise!

Ill-effect is felt – is experienced by those who rebel against Saturn – what is Saturn – Saturn is TRUTH. Judge favors only the TRUTH. And so if you are not following the TRUTH – if you are not being TRUTHFUL to yourself and others – then Libra Saturn also cannot help you.

Why people suffer at the hands of SATURN? And the answer is found in the quote of the divine spiritual master Sri Nisargdatta Maharaj:-

TRUTH liberates you. SATURN liberates you! But since people are not willing to follow the TRUTH – they suffer. And what is suffering? Suffering is mental – and not physical! Your mind suffers – but because you have become the mind – you too suffer!

“The nature of the MIND is to wander. YOU are NOT the mind.” – Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi

But people simply follow their mind. They become the slave of their mind and then what else can you expect than to suffer!

The message of Libra Saturn – is to become ‘real’ – is to help you realize – what needs to be dropped – and what needs to be embraced! Here Saturn cares for the native – he wants the native to find balance – balance is the word – the more he or she finds balance in life – the more is the happiness in life!

Truth is violently opposed. False is readily embraced. And this is the greatest tragedy of human life! People have certain imaginary ideas about Jupiter.

If I tell you that you are going to suffer more in your Jupiter period than Rahu – if I tell you that you are going to go through more difficulties than the previous Rahu period – you are not going to listen, because in your head – you have certain beliefs – and the beliefs say – Rahu is bad, Jupiter is good.

And so when you are going through Rahu – you miss life. And when you enter Jupiter period – you miss all the fun – beliefs are not always true, but our experience is.

If you have a belief and you come against an experience which the belief says is not possible, or, the experience is such that you have to drop the belief, what are you going to choose — the belief or the experience? The tendency of the mind is to choose the belief, to forget about the experience. That’s how you have been missing many opportunities when God has knocked at your door. – Osho

You have been clinging to the belief that Jupiter Dasha is the best of all! And Rahu Dasha is the worst of all. And that is where you go wrong – you simply have been living with a belief.

Belief is a closing of the mind – then the aperture is closed, then you don’t look. In fact, a man who believes becomes afraid to look. Maybe the truth is against the belief. Then what to do? – he closes his eyes. It is easier to protect one’s belief with closed eyes than with open eyes. Who knows? – the truth may not coincide with your belief. – Osho

Your belief may never let you know the truth. And the truth is – that many people are facing difficulties while going through Jupiter Dasha. But the quality of these difficulties is different than that of Rahu! The intention of these difficulties is different than that of Rahu. The message of these difficulties is different than that of Rahu! What is the difference?

A thief slaps you in the face – you are terrified. A teacher – a master slaps you in the face – you are enlightened – you are awakened! You see – how deep is this-this is the difference. But people are ignorant – they have crazy ideas about life -they want life to give them more and more comforts, happiness, joy – but the reality is something else – and the reality is – that life is filled with more suffering than otherwise!

Life without suffering and experience is NOT life – says Socrates. And Gautama Buddha says “Life is suffering.”

As children, Siddhartha and Jesus both realized that life is filled with suffering. The Buddha became aware at an early age that suffering is pervasive. Jesus must have had the same kind of insight, because they both made every effort to offer a way out. We, too, must learn to live in ways that reduce the world’s suffering. – Nhat Hanh

Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.

Suffering Is One Of Life’s Great Teachers. – Bryant H McGill

But people – especially common men don’t get it. And so they either try to run away from sufferings, problems – and in this futile effort they visit many astrologers, pundits – just so that they can ‘skip’ the suffering – the pain! It is like the wheat crops – saying “please prevent us from the winds, the rains, the storms” – and that is what happened – God said, “Your wish is granted.” –

After one year – the crop grew taller than ever! The farmer was happy – the crops were happy – but then when the farmer crushed the crops to get the wheat grains – there was nothing inside – it was all empty! And that is how people who run away from sufferings, from challenges – remain ‘Empty souls’!

life is not about happiness.. and knowledge ind pain and heartache. without any of that you might as well just be a empty soul.

Jupiter – when is positioned as Marrakesh – remember – HE is going to slap you – but the slap is not to cause pain – but to awake you, to raise you to the higher altitudes of life – to brings a depth of awareness, consciousness within you.

This PAIN is not to make you sad, remember. Thats where people go on missing… his 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

SO – it doesn’t matter where Jupiter is placed – as long as – Jupiter becomes a Marrakesh – a Killer planet for you – remember this killing is the Killing of your EGO – this killing is the beginning of a new journey – a journey when you are REBORN! And that is what Jesus says to Nicodemus “To experience God, to experience love, to experience the divinity – you have to REBORN.”

This death caused by Marak Jupiter is not the death of your physical body – but the death of all your illusions, your elusive dreams – your fantasies – so that you come face to face – with the truth, with the reality of life – this death is the birth of your wisdom!

How beautiful is this – and how caring the Gods are – that they give us suffering – they slap us – just to bring us to our senses – to our consciousness!

And so I salute such a Marak Jupiter – yes he is Marakesh, yes he is going to cause certain difficulties, certain sufferings – but all those are just to bring you closer to God – and if this is what one can truly understand, truly realize – than life becomes a garden of bliss! Then you know – through the sufferings you are being chosen for the divine kiss – God’s kiss.

Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus – a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you. – Mother Teresa

And so I appeal to all my followers – do not go into depression when you go through Marak Jupiter Mahadasha – for this is a great journey of revival – a wonderful journey of transformation – inside out – only if you are meditating, only if you are becoming more and more meditative!

The rusted iron rod when goes through the flames of fire – it comes out shining like a star – a beautiful glowing star!

I would want all my followers to face the difficulties of life – with courage and deep faith – so that you all too could come out shining like a star – a beautiful glowing star!

The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness. – Eckhart Tolle

People are afraid when Jupiter becomes a Marak (Killer) planet – don’t be.

A master is a master – he may take you through certain difficulties, challenges – but that is not to cause you pain – but to make you strong, that is not to pull you down – but to raise you higher – remember the heart of the master is always flowing with love – you will not understand what HE is doing with your life – but later you will.

Jesus replied, You don’t understand now what I’m doing, but someday you will.

But to understand the depth of Marak Jupiter – a certain understanding has to be there – only then the truths can be given. What has happened or is happening – is just a smoke of fear – a business of fear – you call someone ‘Marak’ and you then just keep running away from that planet – this is how the mind functions – the mind creates its own fears and then the same mind makes you suffer. The mind is like a ‘spider’. Like a spider it creates a web and then dissolves the same web – that is how your mind functions.

Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no world. In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts, and there is a world also. Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself, likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again resolves it into itself. – Ramana Maharshi

But who wants to listen? People are just happy to live a shallow life – with some shallow meanings of the certain bookish terms – and there are millions of books on astrology – and you will read all of them, you will become a Pundit, a scholar – and yet the true meaning – the real thing is missed, it is simply missed! This real thing can only be found within you-you have all the answers – just look within – turn inwards and meditate.

Let your life be deeper, more understanding – let the light of consciousness drive you towards finding the deeper meaning of this wonderful journey called life!

Let there be no fear of Marak – let Faith be your guiding force and that is my appeal to all my followers.

For Me Walk By Faith, Not By Sight.

One who follows the TRUTH – with unwavering FAITH and PATIENCE – finds all the challenges, sufferings and pain as a “BLESSING IN DISGUISE” – such a follower of TRUTH – is truly free – he truly has tasted the divine nectar of true freedom.

The truth will set you free.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

When you are standing – what is it that you can see more clearly, more effectively?

The one that is very close to you. The neighboring house next to you-you can see that house very clearly – your ‘Drishti’ falls on the house that is closer to you – with 100% accuracy – then as you extend your ‘Drishti’ (Aspect) – you see the house exact opposite you – but it is far than the one that is just next to you!

Similarly – Saturn’s 3rd Aspect or Drishti is more effective – then comes the 7th and then comes the 10th!

3rd Aspect – 100%

7th Aspect – 75%

10th Aspect – 25%

So you see – through these aspects, Saturn simply signifies the matters of life that are destined to be scaled down.

Saturn is Saturn – there is no partiality – people have crazy ideas about Saturn – that Saturn in Libra will be sweet than Saturn in Aries – the reality is something else. And the reality is – Saturn is Saturn – HE is here to do his job – just because of your Libra Saturn you will get favors from Saturn is imaginary – there is no partiality – you will be rewarded or punished as per the quality of your KARMA.

Aspects of Saturn are more significant than Saturn’s placement. A man or woman with second house Saturn – will not fall short of money but rather is burned out of all happiness derived through the mother – either the mother is absent or the house ownership is not seen – a person usually spends more years of life in a rented apartment – or is always shifting due to transfer orders and so on – so generally the 4th house matters suffer than the 2nd house where Saturn is placed. However, there are always variations considering other planet aspects to 4th house.

Saturn Mahadasha – Saturn Aspect – Saturn Transit – all these movements of Saturn – are neither good nor bad – they solely depend on the quality of your KARMA!

For instance – a man until his 40s – had immense pleasures of all kinds – you name it and he has done it – too much of sex, smoking, drinking, traveling across the globe – everything – was enjoyed – until his Saturn period begins – then in Saturn Mahadasha – lets say for him Saturn is the ruler of fifth and sixth – he was totally captured in the unending cycle of many health issues – even speculative ventures, investments went for a toss – because Saturn is retrograde – some relief – else this could have been worse. So SATURN simply triggers the results of your *accumulated* Karma – when SATURN MAHADASHA begins – remember you will be judged and the ‘sentence’ will be given based on whatever KARMA you have accumulated till this point of life. If the quality of Karma is good – you will be provided with all the positive results of Lord Saturn – if the quality of Karma is bad – you will be taken into ‘police custody’!

A woman had Taurus Moon and Taurus Ascendant – her Saturn was placed in the 4th house with RAHU – in complete conjunction. Many pundit and scholars told her that as soon as her Saturn Dasha starts – she will have a great life – all pleasures would be at her feet, she will have great happiness – and when she asked – “How come?” then all these pundits and astrologers told her “ because Saturn is yogakarak for Taurus ascendant – so just relax and be assured – you are in for a great time ahead.”

This woman was very happy to hear, she relaxed. And then after few months – her SATURN Mahadasha begin – and the first stroke was her job – she became jobless – her mother died, her daughter started creating many troubles for her – her life was in a total mess – she became very obsessed with accumulating properties – and in this obsession she ended with many wrong decisions and got stuck with some bad properties.

SATURN + RAHU – is a very evil conjunction – it is a perfect combination that shows you a perfect hypocrite! One who says something before you and does something else – behind your back. She will say she never cheats and she is the QUEEN of CHEATS! She will say she doesn’t know what is black magic – and she will be the one who is passionately indulged in doing black magic – behind your back! So such individuals are CURSED by many good – powerful – holy souls. Such women or men are deeply under the negative influence of RAHU – men and women with this conjunction are very bad at making good judgments – they often end up messing their own life and others life due to their immature, negative outlook towards life. When SATURN is eclipsed by RAHU – you have a split personality person – and such a person is also extremely secretive – he or she says something and does something – there is no synchronization in their character – they don’t walk the talk – and so their life is often filled with many miseries and problems.

You become miserable when there is no synchronization in what you say – what you do and what you feel!

And this is exactly what SATURN dislikes. When you are aware of what you are doing – the question of SIN never arise. What is SIN?

SIN is the absence of consciousness – you don’t know what you are doing – that is when SIN happens! Imagine a beautiful girl walking through the dark streets of Delhi – and she is extremely beautiful and you somehow are also walking down the same street – you are young – and you see her – now there are two possibilities – either you will start flirting with her or being a gentleman – you will help her by guiding her through the dangerous streets of Delhi – the first option is of ignorance – SIN – is going to happen. The second option is of consciousness – of awareness – GOOD – is going to happen. Now Saturn – the same Saturn – is going to punish the option number one and reward the one who has acted out of consciousness!

So this is how Saturn is – straight to the point. Saturn is conservative, Saturn believes in Parampara (tradition) Saturn loves the poor man and hates the rich man – simply because the rich never is bothered to serve the poor!

If you are rich, wealthy – and if you are serving the poor – then Saturn will love you – then Lazarus will laugh at you – but in a good sense! The Bible mentions a story of a poor man called Lazarus. It happened once that a very rich man died on the same day a beggar in the town also died. The name of the beggar was Lazarus. The rich man went directly to hell and Lazarus directly to heaven. The rich man looked up and saw Lazarus sitting near God, and he cried to heaven, ‘It seems that something has gone wrong. I should be there and this beggar Lazarus should be here!’

God laughed and he said, ‘Those who are last shall become the first, and those who are first shall become the last. You have enjoyed being first enough, now let Lazarus enjoy a little.’

And the rich man was feeling very hot — of course in hell you don’t have any air-conditioning yet — burning hot. He was feeling very thirsty and there was no water. So he again cried and said, ‘God, please at least send Lazarus with a little water, I am feeling very thirsty.’

And God said, ‘Lazarus was thirsty many times, nearly dying at your door, and you never gave him anything. He was dying, hungry at your door and there was a feast every day, and many were invited, but he was always chased away from the door by your servants because guests were coming, powerful guests, politicians, diplomats, rich men, and a beggar standing there would look awkward. Your servants chased him away and he was hungry, and the people who were invited were not hungry. You never looked at Lazarus. Now it is impossible.’

And that is what Lord Saturn says to all those arrogant, ignorant men – who are utterly selfish, mean and egoist – “You never looked at Lazarus, the poor beggar, that poor man who was standing at you door – for a glass of water, for a plate of rice – you chased him out – NOW – I am coming to bring you back to your sense – to ensure that ‘justice’ is granted.”

And this is how the LORD SATURN will also come to you and make your life difficult – if you remain ignorant towards the poor, the handicapped, the weak – then don’t say SATURN is bad – Saturn is not bad, it is you who are utterly foolish and ignorant – and SATURN is simply bringing you back to your sense, to your consciousness – through HIS Aspects – through HIS divine presence. Without Saturn – the world would have been a mess, it is only because of SATURN that people are righteous by nature. People are following a certain standard of ethics and principles. People are following a certain tradition and rituals. It is good that people are following good things because of Saturn – but this following is out of FEAR – FEAR OF SATURN – SHANI DEV! How beautiful it would be, how sweet it would be – if people follow the good, practice the good – not out of FEAR, but out of LOVE! Then there is an altogether different meaning to life – then life is no more a misery or a problem – but a song, a poem, a beautiful painting!

Let LOVE be the driving force for all that you do – and then Lord Saturn will bestow HIS infinite blessing upon you – then HE is no more your taskmaster but a genuine TRUE FRIEND – who wants you to understand life the way it *is* – to live in reality – SATURN is REALITY – and the more you live in reality the more you are in the good books of Lord SATURN. Jai Shanidev!

The only way to understand Saturn is through love, the only way to receive Lord Saturn’s blessings is by following love, truth, and kindness!

Be Kind. Be loving. Be understanding. If you have these wonderful qualities within you than and only than Saturn is your friend – a wonderful true friend!

It is very important that YOU are HAPPY – only then — then the fragrance of your HAPPINESS can spread to the farthest shores of this planet – only then can you bring HAPPINESS to every human being who comes in your contact – only then there is every possibility for you to enjoy this human life to the fullest.

It is important that first YOU are HAPPY. And when I say – YOU – it is not just for the questioner but for all my readers, followers and fellow travelers.

HAPPINESS should spring within you – there is absolutely NO NEED to take any efforts to make others happy – But who wants to listen?

The whole world is trying to do this – they all are trying to make others happy—trying to be happy, and this is all but ‘pretending’ – in reality nobody is happy!

Because happiness cannot be found on the outside – but people are seeking happiness on the outside—if somebody appreciates you – you become happy . If somebody gifts you – you become happy. If somebody treats you well—you become happy. You see – the WHOLE DEPENDENCY is on the OTHER person – on the OUTSIDE FACTORS – for you to remain happy—to be happy and that is the whole tragedy of this human life – that you always are bend on finding happiness through somebody—but never WITHIN!

The urge of the common man is to MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – so that they would get the necessary attention.

Why you want to make others happy? Be it God, Planet, Human being or animals – because you believe that making others happy – you will be happy!

That never happens – and if it happens – you are just fooling yourself – because then you are becoming dependent on others – for your happiness and that is indeed the most unfortunate thing to happen.

What happens when you try to make somebody happy?

You start CHANGING to make them comfortable. You start dropping your individuality to accommodate and appease them. God would never want this to happen. Saturn would never want this to happen. But human beings believe that by appeasing – by offering ‘bribes’ – you can appease the God, the Lord, the Cosmic Judge – Lord Saturn.

When your whole focus is on appeasing others – you start losing yourself – you start chasing RESPECTABILITY – and in this madness you start losing your INDIVIDUALITY.

Respectability is slavery. Individuality is dignity. – Osho

Respectability is like a Glass piece. It is fragile. One mistake and your whole respectability can come crashing down – suddenly you may find yourself in the most undesired situation.

Individuality is REAL. You have been living your life – by being yourself. You have NEVER compromised to GAIN RESPECT – you have NEVER bothered to CHANGE yourself in order to APPEASE somebody or to make somebody happy. You just have been living your life – naturally – following your heart – following the intuitive voice within.

But the human world at large is doing the exact opposite – they are GIVING immense importance to PERSONALITY – to RESPECTABILITY – to all those rosy things that look perfect on the outside but have absolutely NO fragrance to it – NO liveliness to it – because it is all FAKE.

PERSONALITIES ARE FAKE. It is a MASK. The word PERSONA has come from the Greek word – persona. From persona comes the word ‘personality’ – it is the ‘face’ that you wear – it is NOT the real face.

Personality is NOT your real face – it is a mask that you wear and it is a mask that the society always wants you to ‘polish’ and ‘perfect’.

Personality is NOT individual, it is social. Society wants you to have personalities not individualities, because your individualities will create conflict. The society hides your individuality and gives a personality. Personality is a learned thing. When personality disappears, don’t be afraid you become AUTHENTIC – for the first time you become REAL, for the first time you attain to essence. That essence – in India has been called Atma, the soul. – Osho

WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – you remain no more REAL – you remain no more AUTHENTIC – you remain no more TRUTHFUL – and SATURN ALWAYS wants truthful men and women!

Saturn loves all truthful men and women. And so – always remember – the only way to get BLESSINGS of LORD SATURN – is by BEING REAL – BEING TRUTHFUL – BEING YOURSELF ~~~

SATURN is like the JUDGE. The JUDGE of the SUPREME COURT. HE simply observes the FACTS – HE simply observes – WHAT YOU ARE FROM WITHIN – whether you are REAL or FAKE – whether you are BEING YOURSELF or you are CHASING OTHERS – TRYING TO MAKING OTHERS HAPPY – TRYING TO APPEASE OTHERS – TRYING TO BRIBE OTHERS – whatever you ARE FROM WITHIN – whatever ACTS (KARMA) you execute – SATURN simply executes HIS orders accordingly – in the COURT OF SATURN – JUSTICE IS NEVER DENIED – it maybe DELAYED – but it is NEVER DENIED.

A good SATURN – a good MAN cannot do well in POLITICS – many times it happens – the leader is good – the man is good – intelligent – genius BUT still he struggles to get success in POLITICS!

Mohan asked “ Why? Why so?”

Because in POLITICS – Individuals don’t succeed. Because INDIVIDUALS (REAL BEINGS) are very straight – they will SAY as is – they will put the TRUTH forth – but people are NOT always comfortable to digest the TRUTH even though they want to know the TRUTH! In Politics – you need GREAT PERSONALITIES that appear APPEALING – even though you may be a great INDIVIDUAL – still you need a PERSONALITY to succeed in POLITICS – and who helps you to shape this PERSONALITY – this MASK?

RAHU.

Rahu is the perfect MASK – that every POLITICIAN needs – without the support of RAHU – you cannot succeed in POLITICS – you need a MASK – a great MASK – an appealing FACE – and that is what Abraham Lincoln was struggling with – when he was planning to fight the US Presidential elections…

Abraham Lincoln – a man with a clean shaved face and penetrating eyes – one of the greatest genius and intelligent man that the world had ever known – was on his way to fight the US Presidential Elections. But Abraham had a shortcoming. He was NOT at all a handsome man – he was also not an absolute WHITE man! His intelligence was GREAT – probably there must be no other man in the US who could level with his intelligence – he was a genius. But his personality was poor – just because of his face. In the context of the American standards – he was not a handsome man. And even though he had the confidence and all the qualities to WIN the Presidential Elections – he had to struggle with his appearance – that was one shortcoming – just one and he often wondered how to deal with it.

But something strange happened – it always happens with blessed souls…..

During the US Presidential election campaign – he had come to Westfield, New York and he was a great Orator – a large crowd was listening to his speech when a little girl noticed him, she was looking attentively at his face. This little girl became the angel of his life – she played a very significant role in helping him win the Presidential elections – if there is anybody who deserves the credit for Abraham Lincoln becoming the President of America – then it is the little girl….

When Abraham Lincoln was giving his speech – and what a speech it was – the little girl really liked his speech – his arguments. But what didn’t appear so appealing was HIS FACE. Women from their childhood days are always quick to notice the physical beauty or physical ugliness of a man – this little girl also noticed certain facial marks of Abraham Lincoln that were not looking great. After the speech – when Lincoln was available for a few minutes, the little girl goes to him and suggests that he 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.

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.

But there is also another side to this story – and that is the darker side.

And the darker side is this – that the world never recognizes the INNER BEING – even a highly intelligent man like Abraham Lincoln had to CHANGE HIS APPEARANCE – because PEOPLE LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE – the world is interested to look at your APPEARANCE – the world does NOT look into your inner being. That little girl – Grace – must be something, must be a great observer – because at that tender age she could realize this fact – that itself makes her a genius – in her autobiography – she writes that after the meeting at Westfield, New York – she never gets to meet Lincoln again – and that is understandable considering Lincoln’s schedule and the many social challenges, civil wars and many difficult socio-political situations that he had to overcome during his tenure.

In Politics, in Cinema, in Society – to succeed you always need a PERSONALITY.

That is the fact of this Material World – you can’t help. I can’t help. Even Lincoln could not help! He had to let the beard grow….!

But in the SPIRITUAL WORLD – in real spiritual life, PERSONALITIES need to be dropped – totally dropped. Because here – in this world – the spiritual man – the Yogi is ABSOLUTELY NOT INTERESTED or BOTHERED to MAKE OTHER HAPPY! HE is simply HAPPY BEING HIMSELF – in his bliss, in his peace, in his joy by turning inwards – engrossing deeply WITHIN…he is no more meditating – he is Meditation.

Such a man, such a Yogi has dropped his personality – the ‘mask’ is thrown away – dropped. The whole process of being able to DROP THE PERSONALITY (MASK) and experience the REAL FREEDOM of living your life – by Being YOURSELF is Meditation.

Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation. – Osho

A Real Man – a Real Woman – will never ever focus on making others happy – they are well aware of the fact that you CANNOT MAKE SATURN happy – that you cannot make any GOD or any PLANET happy. Such men of awareness – are consciously living their life – they KNOW that:

IF they RESPECT every WOMAN – the qualities of VENUS will naturally ENHANCE within their being. They will be blessed with a beautiful wife – a caring wife – a loving wife – a honest wife. A good marital life. A satisfying sexual union.

IF they RESPECT their MOTHER – the qualities of MOON will naturally ENHANCE within their being. They will receive more love, more caring, more nurturing from their mother and all motherly-figures that they may come in contact with.

IF they RESPECT their FATHER – the qualities of SUN will naturally ENHANCE within their being. Then if you are a woman – you will find a good husband – a good male friend – you will always get the required support from the MEN that you come across in your life.

IF they RESPECT and LIVE with RESPONSIBILITY – with AWARENESS – with TRUTHFULNESS – the qualities of SATURN will naturally ENHANCE

IF they RESPECT and CARE, and FEED animals, birds, ants – the qualities of KETU will naturally ENHANCE within their being – then they will get all the required support for their spiritual progress.

IF they RESPECT and CARE, FEED the downtrodden class people – the condemned people – the poor people – the highly exploited class of society who were called ‘untouchables’ by the so called intellectual class – if THEY SERVE these poor people selflessly – the qualities of RAHU will start tilting towards POSITIVISM – towards HIGHER QUALITY DESIRES – because one need to realize that DESIRES always remain – the question is whether the DESIRE is to have MORE SEXUAL PLEASURES, MORE MONEY, MORE POWER, MORE WEALTH, MORE STATUS – OR…..the desire has scaled up to higher altitudes and NOW the only DESIRE left is to MEDITATE – is to TURN INWARDS – is to LOOK WITHIN and SELF REALIZE how IDIOT I have been my whole life – is to laugh at your own foolishness and realize the RIGHT PATH forward!

It is ONLY when you start looking within – turning inwards – meditating – that you SELF REALIZE that the WAY IS NOT OUTWARD – the WAY IS INWARD – then you no more ask questions or think about MAKING OTHERS HAPPY – because the GODS, the LORDS, the PLANETS cannot be APPEASED – cannot be BRIBED – cannot be made HAPPY – they are NOT OUTSIDE YOU – they are WITHIN YOU – and so as I mentioned in the very beginning of this answer – that IF YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY – then it is ENOUGH – the rest will take of itself – the future will take care of itself!

But who wants to listen?

Religion has become a BUSINESS. Temples have become the Mecca of Businesses. Pundits have become Businessmen. MONEY has become IMPORTANT – VALUES, TRUTH, ETHICS, MORALITY have been pushed at the backseat – and they are watching – they are watching very closely -they know when TIME will come – Volcanoes will erupt, Pandemics will come – everything will happen – because GOD will never want all of these SHOPS to continue – you are free to do you business OUTSIDE the TEMPLE – but you certainly will not be allowed to do BUSINESS inside the TEMPLE – everything has a TIME – when the TIME will come – these TEMPLE SHOPS will be closed – and nobody could stop this from happening – GOD STEPS IN – when IGNORANCE BECOMES TOO MUCH.

Those Who Think They Can Get Away With Injustice Must Remember That God Does Not Sleep.

SATURN is one significant tool – ‘iron staff’ of GOD – that GOD hold this ‘iron staff’ in HIS hands. This ‘iron staff’ can be used to provide you SUPPORT or to give you a nice SHAKE UP. And GOD uses it to give a nice SHAKE UP – when there is injustice – when there is corruption – when there is discrimination on the NAME OF RELIGION, CASTE, and COLOR.

And those INDIVIDUALS – those LEADERS – those MEN of AWARENESS who are determined to FIGHT for the well being of the society – of those who have been denied justice – those who have been unfairly treated – are blessed by GOD – to such men and women – SATURN (the ‘iron staff’ of GOD) always SUPPORTS – always HELPS.

I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. 1 see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me – and I think He has – I believe I am ready. -Abraham Lincoln

I AM READY.

How significant are these three words – ‘I AM READY’

READY to FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE.
READY to FIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.
READY to FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.

IF you are also READY – if each one of you is also READY to FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE, DISCRIMINATION, CORRUPTION – then ONLY then SATURN is WITH YOU. So the question is not about making Saturn happy – the real QUESTION is WHETHER each one of you is WILLING to WALK on the PATH OF JUSTICE, EQUALITY, BROTHERHOOD, HONESTY – if you are, then you don’t have to worry – you absolutely don’t have to bother about making SATURN happy – SATURN is WITH YOU – and will be with you as long as you continue your ‘journey’ with HIS values instilled in your HEART.

Values are of two types: one that is imposed upon you from the outside and the other is the VALUE that ARISES in your own being.

Imposed values make your life more miserable than otherwise. When you live your life by following VALUES THAT ARE IMPOSED ON YOU FROM THE OUTSIDE – you simply become ‘Artificial being’ – you miss the beauty of living by being yourself – by being NATURAL! Imposed Values try to differentiate you from animals – try to make you feel superior than animals – BUT IN REALITY – you fall below the level of animals – because at least animals are NATURAL – But you are NOT. Animals have no imposed values – they live naturally – they are better than those who live life with imposed values from the outside!

Values that ARISE within you are GREAT TRANSFORMING ENERGIES – that can simply bring out the BEST WITHIN YOU – can simply help you explore the full potential of your being.

SATURN recognizes such VALUES – VALUES that ARISE WITHIN YOU – through your OWN SELF REALIZATION and it is beautiful – it is simply beautiful – self realizing VALUES by turning inwards – is indeed a great transforming phase of life! Listening to your inner voice is indeed the beginning of real life – the spiritual life – the blissful life!

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

There are millions of people around you – around each one of you. And the majority of it is a SLAVE of their MIND. And the MIND is a Monkey. Now when you take other’s opinion about you – seriously, you are also becoming like them. Because they are following their mind and you are also letting your MIND do the dance – dance of thoughts – many many thoughts and in the whole process you start losing your SELF – the distance starts growing and a time comes in your life when you feel lost – totally lost!

This can change – only if you STOP paying attention to those who are still to know themselves.

Nobody can tell you – WHO YOU ARE – WHAT YOU ARE – as accurately – as you yourself Can! So STOP looking outside for KNOWING WHO YOU ARE – STOP looking outside to get your INTRODUCTION – you have to INTRODUCE yourself – and that is possible only when you START TURNING INWARDS!

Many of you may be wondering – that this man is again and again and again is saying the same thing – Meditate. But that is what all the scriptures and all the divine masters have been repeating AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN……

Mohan asked one day – “Why so? Why again and again the same MESSAGE is shared – why?”

And the answer is that by reading again and again and again – some day – at some moment – that WORD of GOD – that MESSAGE of GOD will penetrate into your being – into your HEART and then the miracle will start happening – then the transformation – then the HEART will start vibrating – then at some point the eyes will become wet – and the day the tears of joy – the tears of self realization will start flowing……life will also start flowing on the right direction – then there will be a song to it – then there will be a dance – then life will no more be a misery – problems may continue to exist – miseries may continue to engulf your life – but NOTHING can DISTURB you – NOTHING can move you – you remain UNMOVED – you remain ENGROSSED in HIS holy Name – in deep meditation – then even though you are walking in the busiest market – your meditation remains – your peace remains – your joy remains – it is all WITHIN and that which is WITHIN – cannot be taken away from you – nobody should and nobody can.

When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace.

The first kind of imposed value is just a hypocrisy. It is a strategy to make you believe that you have transcended the animals; but in fact you have even fallen below the animals. The animals are at least natural; you are NOT even natural. Your values distort your nature, distort your simplicity, distort your innocence – but they give you a false notion that you are a MAN. The second type of values are the authentic values. But for them you have to avoid any kind of imposition from the outside, you have to allow your own inner being – you have to let the VOICE WITHIN YOU speak – and that is possible only WHEN YOU LEARN TO QUIET the MIND.

Someone is becoming somebody to MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – and that is the most unfortunate thing to happen with human life. It is sad that a person of Abraham Lincoln’s caliber also had to change – had to grow beard – had to modify his appearance to make others happy – to make himself appealing when in reality he had all the ‘ingredients’ within – but still he had to change his appearance because the WORLD does NOT look into your inner being.

When you ask about making other happy – you always have to COMPROMISE.

And when you COMPROMISE – you start losing on your INDIVIDUALITY.

In the futile effort to keep someone happy – Individuality is lost, and when there is no Individuality to your existence – life becomes miserable.

In offices, in families, in schools, in colleges – in every platform of your life – you all are trying to MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY. You feel that by making the OTHER PERSON – happy – you will become happy.

Trying to keep somebody happy – is making yourself vulnerable to that which is on the OUTSIDE. And the OUTSIDE is always changing – remember this. And I say this to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers- the factors on the Outside are always changing. If you all become a SLAVE to the OUTSIDE factors (people, situations, planets) – you will never find the happiness that you seek.

How long can you keep someone HAPPY?

And the moment you CANNOT – you start feeling miserable. So your happiness becomes totally dependent on the outside factors and that is how you go on missing life….you make yourself miserable.

I can understand the questioners mindset. It is not his fault- it is the fault of this fake society that goes on emphasizing that you have to make somebody happy – only then can you receive rewards in return.

Such a mindset is the mindset of a dealer. It is a deal – I make you happy, you make me happy.

But Buddha won’t relate to this mechanism. He simply won’t understand why you are taking so much effort to make him happy – that is absolutely not required.

The love of the master is always unconditional. Whether you make him happy or you make him unhappy – HIS love never changes a bit. You simply cannot make him happy and you cannot make him unhappy BECAUSE His happiness is not based on your actions or thoughts – His happiness is within – there is absolutely no dependency on the outside – whether you hurt him or love him – he remains engrossed WITHIN – there is no without.

If you come to doubt, I’ll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, l’ll give you every reason to be suspicious. BUT if you come seeking LOVE, I’ll show you more LOVE than you’ve ever known. – His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji

The LOVE of the LORD is beyond the power of expression. You simply cannot make the LORD happy and you simply cannot make the LORD unhappy – the divine LORD – the divine energies are way beyond the trivial state of happy and unhappy – language is really poor – words cannot suffice.

But people don’t get it. They ‘see’ God just the way they ‘see’ their boss or senior executive. They think that just the way they make their boss happy – they can make the LORD also happy – that never happens – LORD is LORD – HE is beyond the state of happiness and unhappiness – but human MIND cannot contain this TRUTH – it is possible that this answer may be banned, collapsed or even deleted but Truth has to be shared – someone out there can relate to it – someone out there can understand and benefit from it – and there is always someone out there – always.

By and by – it has to be self -realized that the first step towards happiness – is to make yourself happy. God comes only to a happy soul, Love comes only to a happy soul.

Love life, be more happy. God can come only to a happy soul. Only when you are utterly happy is there a possibility, otherwise not – because misery closes you, bliss opens you up. – Osho

How to be more happy? What is the source of happiness?

Authenticity.

One word – just one word – Authenticity! The more you are AUTHENTIC – REAL – YOURSELF – the more you have all the possibilities to experience happiness.

This Authenticity is the ESSENCE of your BEING to which we address as the SOUL – ATMA!

A spiritual man is authentic. A man who is on his way towards the BEYOND is authentic. He may not be liked by the society but rarely is he bothered about the LIKES and DISLIKES – he is simply engrossed within – he is simply happy to be!

To such an authentic man – BLISS is what matters and NOT happiness.

The more you become authentic – you move beyond the state of happiness – you start experiencing BLISS. In the state of BLISS – you move beyond the state of happiness and unhappiness – that is the state of Buddha – the authentic Yogi – that is the state of every divine Saint – they have moved beyond happiness and unhappiness and now what is left is BLISS – eternal bliss!

The way to move beyond happiness and unhappiness is the way of the Buddhas!

Bliss is possible only through – meditation – turning inwards, and find your way back ‘home’.

Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end. – Sivananda

In the end – at the very end of your life, my life, and every person who is reading this answer – what is it that you really can retain and take with you after this human life is over?

BLISS. PEACE. JOY.

And if one is unable to take this with him or her – then let me tell you and to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers – there is nobody as POOR as the person who cannot carry forward with him – the BLISS, the PEACE, the JOY! Such a man – no matter how much he has earned in his life – is the most unfortunate man – the most poor man than otherwise!

Always remember – the last moment of DEATH is very important. People always are interested to know the BIRTH CHART – but nobody is willing to focus on the DEATH CHART! Just like your BIRTH CHART is developed based on the planetary placements of that day and time – similarly DEATH CHART is also developed based on the day, time and place of your death! But the DEATH CHART is not seen by human beings – it is seen by the astral bodies who govern the whole cosmic cycle of birth and rebirth!

The very last moment of your life is extremely significant. The divine Saint Neem Karoli Baba mentions this in the most beautiful way – as always:

If you desire a mango at the moment of death, you’ll be born an insect. If even you desire the next breath you will take birth again. – Neem Karoli Baba

The BIRTH MOMENT decides the course of your journey in this birth. The DEATH MOMENT decides your journey beyond this birth. And so DEATH CHART is also as significant as the BIRTH CHART!

People have many fancy ideas about DEATH – as if after DEATH there is somebody waiting to welcome you – heavens and so on. It is all but a Myth – an illusion. In reality life is simple – death is also simple – this whole universe is simple – simplicity has it all!

The journey after DEATH – simply begins from the point where you LEFT this human body!

Don’t depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections. You are exactly the same after death as you were before. Nothing changes; you only give up the body. If you are a thief or a liar or a cheater before death, you don’t become an angel merely by dying. If such were possible, then let us all go and jump in the ocean now and become angels at once! Whatever you have made of yourself thus far, so will you be hereafter. And when you reincarnate, you will bring that same nature with you. To change, you have to make the effort. This world is the place to do it.- Paramahansa Yogananda

The evolution – the transformation – the maturity that you have gained – the level of consciousness that you have attained at the very last moment of your life – IS WHAT YOU CONTINUE WITH AFTER DEATH.

LIFE is therefore in continuation – whatever you are now is the continuation of what you have been so far and whatever you will be is again going to be continued from here-within!

The picture never ends – the story never ends – the cycle of birth and rebirths continues – taking many physical forms – the Universe is therefore Ancient and so are we all – Ancients!

The whole perspective should change – from focusing outward to turning inward. From making others happy – to finding your happiness within!

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside. – Sri Ramana Maharshi

All that you seek – is within you. So come – come you all and meditate. No matter how much noise is on the outside – how much of FEAR of DEATH and DISEASES is on the outside – always remember the STORM will cool down only when it is DONE with its purpose. For time and ages – many diseases and many wars have happened – and it has ended only when it has TAKEN all those for which it had come! Nobody can stop the NATURAL DISASTERS – they come in time and they also go when it is time.

Never blame SATURN – for any disasters – because then you will have to blame Krishna too for not stopping the Mahabharata War! Nobody can stop the coming of the storm – when the time has come – neither could Krishna and nor could Saturn. Just like the birth and death of human beings – the world goes through destruction and construction – it is an ongoing process that goes on and on and on – there is no stopping – it keeps moving like a WHEEL!

Nothing therefore is forever – neither the good times nor the bad times. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER – happiness and unhappiness are two ends – and the life of human beings continue to revolve through these two ends – there is no man – no woman who has never been unhappy and there is no man and no woman who has always been happy! As much as there is happiness in one’s life – equal is also unhappiness in one’s life!

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance. – Osho

Balance is necessary – and it manifests only when you find balance within.

There is no such thing as work-life balance – it is all life. The balance has to be within you. – Sadhguru

This balance – comes when you meditate – when you spend some quality time with yourself – when you realize that Enough is Enough – now *is* the TIME to look within and make the most out of these life that is left – and nobody know how much of life is left! DEATH never comes with an appointment – it simply strikes at the most unknown – unexpected moment! And so instead of spending energy in making others happy – start spending your energy in making yourself happy – and the way to do it is by turning inwards!

If you want joy, you have to turn inward, because that is where it is generated. – Sadhguru

Turn inward. That is the message – the only message that if you can relate, you can transcend – you can experience joy – happiness, bliss in your life.

Once you are happy – once you are joyous – the thought of making others happy never arise. Then the glow of your happiness, the shine of your joy starts spreading all over those who come in your contact. Just the way when the pebble is dropped in the pond – the first ripple of joy appears and then it goes on spreading and creating multiple ripples of joy – spreading it to the farthest shores!

When you are happy – you can spread happiness. The focus should be – YOU. When YOU are total in whatsoever you do – you attain success! Saturn or God – or the benevolent divine master – nobody can make them happy and nobody can make them unhappy – they shower their blessing on you – only when you start turning inwards – when you start focusing within – when you start helping others – when you start transforming into a HUMAN BEING!

By physical form we all are human beings – but we should ask ourselves again and again – that whether we are truly human beings?

Your humanity is FAKE. Because when you become angry it is the ANIMAL within you that comes out and NOT the human being. – Osho

Anger cannot be controlled. Sexual urge cannot be controlled. Greed cannot be controlled. Bad habits cannot be controlled. Still the progress to human being has not happened in its totality – still this world and the ‘animal’ of two legs is far away from being human!

The whole essence of meditation is to help you all become human beings. To help you all overcome Anger – overcome sexual desires – overcome lust for power and money – the whole essence is to bring you to the FINEST STAGE OF HUMANITY – then the real life begins – then the real journey with GOD begins – then there is a certain depth to your existence.

Only a fine human being can evolve into a fine Yogi!

The journey is long – it has to begin at some stage of life – and once it begins – it should not stop, it should not halt – it should continue till the journey itself becomes the destination!

And when the journey becomes the destination – when you no more are bothered to REACH ANYWHERE but simply REJOICE in your journey WITH GOD – then – then the whole universe is available to you – then there is no looking back – and the ‘journey’ continues…..once you find joy ~ love ~ peace in the journey of your life – then the journey itself becomes the destination – and you are back ‘home’ – back to the source within!

Life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever. -Peter Hagerty

Love yourself. Then you can love others. Then you can find love in your life – and then the need to make others happy won’t arise – once you are ‘home’ – you have arrived and once you have arrived – once you have started living with consciousness – then the future takes care of itself – then like a beautiful ‘river’ – life keeps flowing……you meet the right men and women who resonate with you – leading to a wonderful communion that goes on enriching your life with wisdom and spreading your fragrance to the farthest shores of this planet! It all happens on its own – you just have to focus on the key – and the key is to turn inward and meditate.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru.
