Confidence comes when you focus on the SELF.

SELF is represented by the SUN. SUN is the source of consciousness – the greater the consciousness the greater is the realization of the SELF.

Consciousness is within all of us – the SUN is within all of us!

There is a sun within every person. – Rumi

Righteousness is represented by JUPITER. It is through the planet Jupiter that you come to the realization of WHAT IS GOOD and WHAT IS BAD for you. People who make wrong decisions – often have an afflicted Jupiter in their birth charts – simply because they cannot realize what is truly good to their progress in life. They generally make wrong decisions in the early stage of their life – but with time – they mature and start making decisions that are well-balanced.

Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking. – Malcolm Gladwell

COURAGE is represented by MARS and KETU. It is through MARS and KETU that you are able to show COURAGE and LEAD the pack. COURAGE comes only when you have CONFIDENCE in your ‘SELF’.

Believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic. – Brene Brown

SELF is at the root of one’s confidence. And so SUN is the key – the essential key to – confidence.

Low confidence and negativity has to do more with what path you choose to walk upon. A Truthful man, a truthful woman has nothing to FEAR – for many births and rebirths – such a soul has always been walking on the PATH of TRUTHFULNESS – such a man – such a woman is beautiful – they never have to fear – they don’t know what is fear – they remain strong when the ‘tide’ is low – and they remain humble when the ‘tide’ is high!

Once you start following the TRUTH – once you start becoming a part of the TRUTH – then – then CONFIDENCE comes, then the whole world is available to you – then you are no more the same – you have TRANSFORMED into a beautiful butterfly – the ugly caterpillar has TRANSFORMED into a beautiful butterfly!

But a question may arise – How to get started?

And the answer is simple – get started with ‘Friends’ who LOVE the TRUTH!

COMPANY matters. With whom you are – matters and it matters significantly. SANGHA – or – SATSANGHA enables you to gain confidence. Listening, reading the words of TRUTH – the WORD of GOD – following the light of consciousness – brings a tremendous change and a push to your confidence level. Then you start realizing that – YOU TOO CAN CHANGE – YOU TOO CAN EXPERIENCE THE HIGHER ALTITUDES – that….YOU TOO CAN LISTEN to the melodious ‘MUSIC’ of this wonderful journey called – Life!

Many times alone you may not be able to gather that much courage, alone you may feel hopeless. But when you see many people dancing, singing, rejoicing in their ‘journey’ – great courage arises in your heart, great trust, confidence arises in yourself. You become confident that it is possible in this life to be a Buddha. – Osho

Only a man, a woman who is following the WORD of GOD – can live his or her life with confidence, with dignity, with love.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1 (Biblical verse)

A woman who has been cheating her husband/lover – cannot gain confidence – she may move around with a fake confidence – like a ‘sheep’ in the disguise of a lioness – but she is not the real lioness – the confidence of a ‘LIONESS’ never exists in her – it never can!

A man who has been fooling around the town cannot gain the confidence of a LION – he too is a ‘sheep’ that roams in the disguise of a lion!

CONFIDENCE COMES ONLY WHEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FEEL ASHAMED OF – NOTHING TO HIDE – NOTHING TO MANIPULATE! YOU simply are as you are – you have ACCEPTED yourself in totality. And only a man -who ACCEPTS himself – becomes beautiful! He is NOT afraid of his reality – he is not hiding anything – he lives his life with absolutely no regrets – such a man always wins in the end – such a man is the real man – the real being – he is an ‘individual’ and not just a personality!

My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has- courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is. – Osho

Yesterday a young man came and he said “ A girl loves me – but today she told me everything about her past – she has a ‘past’ and I got to know about it when she told me everything…..”

I told him “ She *is* the girl that you should not let go – because she loves you, she has shown the courage to tell you the truth – and a person who is truthful – is rare to find. She is worth it. Do not let her go – let her become a part of your life and your life will definitely blossom into a beautiful flower….”

To be with a truthful woman, a truthful man – is what can make your life a garden of bliss!

And TRUTH requires tremendous courage. The FEAR of losing is always there – the nature of clinging prevents you from being truthful – but then what is the value of such a life – a life lived with lies and fear?

FEAR exists – LOW CONFIDENCE exists – when you are TRYING TO BECOME – when you are NOT happy of BEING YOURSELF.

If you Want to be Trusted – BE HONEST.
If you Want to be Honest – BE TRUTHFUL.
If you Want to be Truthful – BE YOURSELF. – Buddha

The first step towards gaining CONFIDENCE is to declare to the skies – your REALITY without feeling ashamed of anything – without hesitating to open up in totality.

Only an open man can be truthful – a closed man is a man of many lies – he is a man who goes on suppressing his feelings, the truths and in the process becomes more miserable than otherwise.

You have to be with an open man – a man who is moving towards the beyond – but such a man may not be appealing to a woman – who is yet to meditate – yet to turn inward!

Once it happened – a young man and he was a meditative man fell in love with a beautiful woman. And love happens – you cannot help. It happened with this young man but after few days he comes to the master and says “ My Girlfriend says – I am cold. I am not hot. She says ‘ I don’t know nothing about love’. She may be right. But please guide…”

Now read those words again – the young man is concluding – he says “She must be right.”

The master smiles and says “She is NOT right, because you are not cold, you are COOL. And it is NOT true that you don’t know love. But people are accustomed to a Hot Love, and in their mind there are only two possibilities – either you are hot about them, or you are cold. They cannot relate to the balanced state – they simply miss.”

A man of meditation – a man of awareness NEVER becomes cold and never remains hot either: he becomes cool, calm and quiet. His love takes a totally new dimension, which will appear to ordinary people as indifference. To those who understand, his love becomes less noisy, less stupid, less retarded, less biological, but starts having a flavor of spirituality, which needs an understanding otherwise the other person – your partner or lover is bound to think you have become cold. – Osho

Why the Girlfriend of this young meditative man thinks that ‘he is cold?’

Because the young man has gone way ahead – through meditation he has moved on to the higher altitudes of love – while his girlfriend has been left behind! She is not growing in meditation – the young man is growing and so the ‘distance’ is growing between them – either the girlfriend has to catch up by being more meditative or the distance can eventually lead to a break up – because when there is NO RANGE – the ‘call’ always disconnects!

But the matter does not END here – because the young meditative man had said that ‘Maybe she is right.’

It seems that the girlfriend has become more powerful in making him think – that she is right – it is indeed a very unfortunate situation for a man who is growing in meditation but is giving up to a woman who knows nothing about meditation!

Now either he can help her to move into meditation or else she will destroy him in totality. And convincing her to move into meditation is not an easy task – every woman – every girlfriend in the very beginning throws many tantrums – she will throw pillows on you – she will try to disturb your meditations because she understands that you are slipping out of her hands – she cannot possess you anymore – meditation has given you a freedom that is beyond her understanding and she just can’t stand it – Socrates’s wife also used to disturb Socrates when he used to teach his students. Socrates was a meditative man, deeply meditative. One day his wife pour boiling water on his face – and burnt his half face for his whole life. He was teaching his students – and you will now understand what ‘coolness’ is – he simply wiped the water on his face and continued with what he was teaching.

Now the students who were witnessing all of this were shocked – they thought – how can this woman behave like this? And even if she had to – she would have done it when we were gone – at least not before us! And so now all the questions that they had come up with were forgotten and the only question that remained in their head was – WHY? WHY the master – Socrates – such a great wise man has not taken any note – of this strange behavior of his wife? Why he has not reacted or responded. Why and how can he be so COOL?

And Socrates smiled and said “ “Whatever she is capable of doing she has done. And whatever I am capable of I am doing. Our capacities are different – this nobody’s fault.”

Socrates is not angry with his wife, on the contrary he is very compassionate.

He further says “Any woman would have done the same – because I am continually concerned with my students, with philosophers coming from faraway places to visit me, and I am discussing things in which is not interested at all. Sometimes the whole day passes and I don’t have any time for her. She is a poor woman and she is behaving just as any unconscious human being is supposed to behave.”

It happens. It always happens – when the partners are not at the same level of consciousness – the friction happens – and it is always one sided – because the other side – is always COOL – compassionate and understanding!

But when both the partners – the husband and wife or the girlfriend and boyfriend are meditative beings – than the BALANCE blossoms – the relationship becomes more beautiful – then there is a song to it ,a dance, then life becomes a garden of bliss!

When you and your partner grow together in meditations – then it has a beauty of its own. No conflict is seen. When couples grow together – hand in hand, dancing the same dance – singing the same song – as they grow together the understanding also grows – then there is no trouble. But IF they both are not growing together then the one who is left behind feels offended – then he or she goes on creating troubles.

The young man realized his mistake. At least he should have tried to help his girlfriend grow along with him – at least he should have helped her to initiate meditations – because when you are in a relationship – you should try to see there is a BALANCE – and BALANCE is possible only when you and your partner – both meditate – both self realize the significance of meditations!

When you become meditative, when you become a prayerful man or woman, when you devote a certain time to your daily meditations and when you remain FIRM on the path of TRUTHFULNESS – Confidence comes naturally – the greater the willingness to remain DETACHED – the greater is the depth of SELF-CONFIDENCE.

It is only when you remain ATTACHED that you FEAR of losing – and this FEAR then prevents you from BEING TRUTHFUL – and once you move away from the path of truthfulness – you start losing on confidence – and your body then starts attracting negativity.

Always remember – Life is a flow. In this flow – one comes across many experiences – one goes through many relationships – many people – many situations – DO NOT SUPPRESS those experiences – Suppression is Suicide – Expression is Life.

When you express yourself freely – when there is absolutely no HIDING – then LIFE is STRAIGHT – and a STRAIGHT PATH always makes everything STRAIGHT in your life!

A young woman had been through multiple relationships – they all failed – but she remained open – she would not hide her past – only that woman hides her past who is NOT willing to FACE and ACCEPT her failed relationships. She is afraid of sharing her failures and so she goes on suppressing herself – which in turn impacts her confidence levels.

A woman who has ACCEPTED her PAST – has nothing to HIDE – she opens up – she looks confident – there is absolutely NO GUILT – such a woman understands life – she succeeds in her life because whatever she have been through – she never REPRESSES – she never HIDES – she ACCEPTS – and only a person who ACCEPTS her or his PAST can move on – and it is only when you move on that you can progress in life with confidence.

It all begins with being TRUTHFUL. If you had done certain mistakes – so what? You simply accept your mistakes – learn from it and move on…

To commit mistakes is NOT wrong – commit as many mistakes as possible, because that is the way you will be learning more – you will evolve. BUT don’t commit the same mistake again and again, because that makes you stupid. – Osho

By being TRUTHFUL to yourself – you are able to being TRUTHFUL with others and that makes a huge difference in your life – a significant positive difference.

People are looking into horoscopes to find out the REASON for their LOW confidence – their NEGATIVITY – and this is the GREATEST IRONY of mankind.

Horoscopes are nothing but a REFLECTION of WHAT YOU ARE. Horoscope is just a representation of – WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING FROM MANY BIRTHS AND REBIRTHS – repeating the SAME mistakes again and again and again – until a day comes in your life – when you start turning inwards – when the divine intervention of the benevolent master – brings AWARENESS to your being – then – only then the repeating cycle of mistakes stops – the vicious cycle of IGNORANCE is finally brought to end – and with this end – the new beginning – the new sun rise – the new direction to your life comes and then there is no looking back – the road is clear and you are ready to walk the talk.

Once it happened, a young prince came all the way to meet the Mahavira. And Mahavira used to live in a forest, beneath a tree – and there was no question of having any clothes because he roamed naked. There was no question of food because a little help from the forest trees was enough to take care of his body. And there was nobody with him, he lived alone….nobody knew about his whereabouts – but the young prince had found the way, it happens , it always happens – when the master wants you – you find HIS way! And so the young prince had found the way towards the master, he came, he bowed before the master and said “ I have renounced everything – now I have decided to not to go back to my Palace – I have left behind all the luxuries of the Palace, all the pleasures…..I have left forever…..now please don’t let me go back, I don’t want to go back, I had enough, now I want to live the rest of my life at your holy feet…..Master…..”

Mahavira was listening but his eyes were closed. A certain fragrance lingered around Him….his glow, his peace…..his aura – the young prince was deeply touched by just being in the omnipresence of the Mahavira.

Mahavira smiled. He said “ If that is what you want then be it so. You can stay with me.”

The young prince’s joy knew no bounds – there was nothing else that he had wished for. His wish was granted, he was let in.

But life in the forest is not an easy one! In that forest, the young prince somehow spend the first two nights. But it was becoming difficult – sleeping on the hard ground – and there were mosquitoes – many mosquitoes! And in the night the fearful voice of the wild animals….that was too scary….

After spending four sleepless nights – the young prince started missing his luxurious life, the beautiful maids, the servants, the royal bed….

On the fifth night, the young prince could not control himself – he got up – he decided to leave the master…..and as he was about to leave – suddenly the master – Mahavira – appeared before him…..

The prince was take aback – he wondered how the master came all of sudden! He bowed before Mahavira and said “ I cannot live such a difficult life….master….I came to stay with you…..but now I want to leave…..”

Such was the state of his being that his eyes became wet – life in the forest is indeed a very hard life – especially for someone who have been living a luxurious life.

Mahavira smiled, it was understandable. Mahavira also had been a Prince – A prince of a very rich kingdom. He could understand. HE touched the young prince – just a soft touch on the forehead and then left.

The next morning, when Mahavira was seated beneath the tree -the young prince came rushing towards HIM. The prince fell upon the feet of the master and started crying…..

Mahavira – the master asked “Why you cry? You have’t yet left?”

Upon listening to the words of the master – the prince said “ How can I leave you? How benevolent you are, how compassionate….yesterday with your gracious touch – I went into deep trance and in that state I went through my past births and then I realized that in my past birth also I had left you – because I wasn’t able to live the forest life. For luxurious life – I left you last time and this time also I was about to leave you ——but it was your divine intervention – your compassion that prevented me from committing the same mistake again. How can I thank you? Even if I give my whole life to you still it will be not enough…..master…all I am, all that I have – I lay them down before YOU. I will never ever leave you again. Never.” And the young prince never left the master. It is said that he went on to become one of the greatest saint that the world had ever known – AWARENESS can CHANGE YOUR LIFE. It always can.

Life goes on repeating like a WHEEL – unless you become aware – unless you become conscious of your actions.

You have to raise the level of your consciousness by being more faithful,more meditative, and more truthful.

Horoscope is simply the naked truth of all that you have been doing in the last births – this birth and the many births to come.

Horoscope is just a medium that lets you KNOW about your Journey so far and the journey beyond this human life.

The word is – KNOW. Remember this and I appeal to all my followers, – remember this – the word is – KNOW. Whenever you KNOW something – it is known through Knowing.

It is through KNOWING that you KNOW. And so KNOWLEDGE has three dimensions – KNOWER. KNOWN. And KNOWING.

You are standing before a rose plant. You are focused on the rose – you are able to KNOW the ROSE. But you it is one sided – the focus is only on the outside – the focus is only on the ROSE – you may succeed in KNOWING the ROSE – but you remain unknown to your SELF – as long as you remain pointed towards the outside world – the rose – you may know the world – you may know the rose – but that will not help in letting you know about YOUR SELF.

Knowledge reveals only the Known. The knower (your self) remains unrevealed.

And the whole essence of meditation is to help you know the knower (your self)!

The Buddha way is to forgot the ‘rose’ and focus on the ‘knower’ (yourself)!

When you look at the rose – you REMEMBER who is looking at the rose. And when you start remembering your self – the focus on the rose changes from outward to inward – and when you turn inwards – a time comes when the KNOWING (rose) is forgotten and the KNOWER (your self) is also forgotten and that is the ultimate stage of Buddha hood – a deeply meditative state of experiencing ONENESS – advait!

Buddha encourage this way of meditation – in the modern world it was again re-introduced in the form of ‘self-remembering’ – when you remember your self – the focus changes from KNOWING to KNOWER and that is the real beginning of your spiritual journey – that is when the ‘buds’ within you start flowering – start blossoming….

Like the rose – your focus is too much on your HOROSCOPE. And that is where you all go on missing. The focus should change from KNOWING to KNOWER – and that is YOUR SELF! The focus should be to look within – because what is on the outside is NOT REAL – what is in the inside is REAL and my whole effort is to help you all bring face to face with the REAL – YOUR ‘SELF’.

Without understanding yourself, what is the use of trying to understand the world? – Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

But people don’t get it. And the majority is shallow. They keep on emailing me asking about this house and that house – why this house and why that yoga. They are simply focused too much on the ROSE (Horoscope) – they are focused too much on ‘KNOWING’ – and in this futile process of ‘knowing’ they have completely missed to KNOW THE SELF – themselves! And they should not be blamed for this – because nobody has ever let them realize the fact that KNOWING is secondary – REALIZING THE SELF – is primary! And so they have been following the ROSE – and have completely lost the TOUCH – with themselves – now tell me and I ask to my close followers – tell me – how can I respond to their emails – they will not understand my language.

But to you all – my close followers, readers and men of meditations – to you all – I say and I say it again and again that the FOCUS should not be in KNOWING – the FOCUS should be on the KNOWER – that is YOUR SELF.

The human world has always been focusing a lot on the logical mind – the conscious mind – the intuitive mind is always ignored. It becomes headache for me when people with razor sharp logic come to me and start analyzing everything with their sharp logic – the essence is lost – it is simply lost.

With their RATIONAL MIND – the go on dissecting every part and parcel of astrology – of human life – of religion – of spiritualism and then they ask “ Why am I not getting the ‘answers’? Why am I not being able to experience GOD?

How will you? When your whole life you have been spending on rationalizing everything – analyzing everything…..

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. – Albert Einstein

You miss to realize the GIFT of GOD – the gift of consciousness and you go on focusing on the OUTSIDE – how will you ever be able to realize the TRUTH – there is absolutely no chance – because the way is not on the outside but inside!

And so come you all – come and focus on the inside – real growth happens always when you focus WITHIN – when you start turning inwards – when you start meditating – when you start transforming into a prayerful person – then everything comes your way – then you are no more interested to KNOW the horoscope placements and what is good and what is bad – then you are simply interested to KNOW yourself – then you simply focused in knowing the knower – and that is YOU – your SELF!

How beautiful is all this – life is short – and with days passing by – it is becoming shorter – do not let this life pass by focusing on the outside world – by focusing on the planets and the yoga and what not – the mind is super calculative – but I am for the HEART – the HEART is beautiful – your heart is also beautiful – everybody’s heart is beautiful – what comes in between you and your heart is the MONKEY MIND – the DIRTY MIND – the CUNNING MIND.

And so I am for all those who think less and FEEL MORE, you cannot deceive a man of heart – he quickly realizes who is REAL and who is FAKE!

And the whole story of this human life is to SELF REALIZE THE REAL. And the REAL is within each one of us – the more you ‘swim’ within – the more you would become REAL and the society always dislikes the REAL – because the REAL can make you wise – and the society would never want to have wise men and wise women – because then how can they exploit you – how can they loot you?

Before Buddha, the religious search was not concerned with the within but with the without; it was extrovert, and when the religious search is extrovert it is not really religious. Religion begins only with introversion, when you start diving deeply within yourself. – Osho

Always remember – there is no teacher and there is no student, there is no teaching. I am not here to teach anything – I am here to simply share something beautiful that which has happened with me – those who can relate – can benefit – those who cannot – will continue to condemn me – it is the old tradition of this human world – the TRUTH has always been condemned – though it is only the TRUTH that has remained.

Look within, There is no difference between yourself, Self and Guru. You are always Free. There is no teacher, there is no student, there is no teaching. – Papaji

The ‘SELF is the GURU’ says the Bhagavan – Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. This SELF is consciousness – and the divine master is also the CONSCIOUSNESS! The moment you realize the SELF – the CONSCIOUSNESS – you connect with the master. THE SELF is the GURU – beautiful – as always the compassionate master shares one of the rarest of rare diamond with us and it is truly beautiful! Touched.

People want the TRUTH – but when the TRUTH is shared they CANNOT digest it – because their MIND won’t let them. TRUTH needs NO INTELLECTUALISM – it simply needs a HEART that loves – a HEART that drives the MIND – and the HEART is intelligent – it can FEEL – and it is only when you FEEL that you start transforming into a beautiful flower!

No thoughts. No thinking. No Mind – and then you can FEEL.

You are TOO MUCH into your head – and I am saying this to all my followers – you have been taking everything that you come across – with so much of seriousness that you have forgotten the fact that life is not static – it goes on changing – CHANGE IS CONSTANT. Unburden yourself – breath – just breath and enjoy the moment – because life flows through moments – you always remember the moments and not the days!

Absorbed in this world you’ve made it your burden. Rise above this world. There is another vision. – Rumi

The WORLD is nothing but an EXTENSION OF YOUR MIND! YOUR MIND IS YOUR WORLD. Rise above your MIND and you will be able to RISE ABOVE THE WORLD – then there will be no burden – because the very feeling of being burdened is of the MIND – overcome the MIND – and you find your freedom. Then you will be able to FEEL more – and it is only when you can FEEL that you can relate to the Master. If you go to a master with all kinds of thoughts, those thoughts will function as Walls and not Bridges. To connect with the master – you need to build bridges and not walls – as long as you think too much – you may go on missing. Only those who feel can connect. And once the contact starts happening, then it takes you on the greatest journey of your life – the greatest adventure – the greatest ecstasy. And it is beautiful….

Move from thinking to feeling – it will be enough. Then from feeling to intution it is very easy. The relationship between a master and a disciple is NOT a rational thing. It is more of feeling than of thinking.Those who think too much may go on missing. Only those who FEEL – can connect with the Master. – Osho

Life always gives you a CHOICE – you can either be like Judas or you can either be like Jesus! You can either go on THINKING and THINKING and putting your HEAD in every matter of life – OR – you simply go on feeling – vibrating with the existence!

When Marry Magdalene pours the most expensive perfume on Jesus’s feet – Judas objects. He is a man of intellect – he cannot understand – he cannot relate to the deep love that Marry Magdalene has for Jesus! He argues with Jesus – he says “ The money from this expensive perfume would have feed the whole town.”

Jesus says “ In deep love, she has pour the perfume on my feet – I cannot stop her – I couldn’t stop her. The town will be there even when I am gone – but I will not be in physical form forever – in deep love – not finding a way to express her love – she has expressed it by pouring this perfume – I could not stop her.”

Jesus could feel. Judas could not. This human world is divided in two parts – Jesus and Judas! And it is up to you all to decide on which side you are! What you choose is what you become!

Meditation is the journey from the Mind towards your heart. It begins from the MIND – the mind should be turn inwards and then slowly slowly the mind merges with heart and then the work is over – it is a long journey – the journey from Mind to the Heart – someday it has to begin – millions and millions of souls are born every moment around this world – and millions die without knowing the essence – the true purpose of this human life. Even one in a million WAKES UP – it is enough – even one ‘candle’ is enough to bring ‘light’ to other ‘candles’ that are yet to be en- lightened!

Always remember – the cause of your miseries is your FEAR. This FEAR goes on killing you everyday. FEAR kills. You have not lived until you have overcome the fear that is within you. It is a chain, a vicious chain. Fear comes due to the nature of clinging. Attachments. Than this Fear gives birth to Doubts. And Doubt is Death. Life begins where Fear ENDS. How will this Fear end?
By letting in more FAITH.

The Greater the FAITH – the lesser the space is for any fear!

Let your FAITH become GREATER than your fears. Let there be more love than doubts. Only then there is a possibility to experience God – only then there is a possibility to live life with self-confidence.

Confidence comes, positivism comes, love comes only when you learn to live your life by being TRUTHFUL – by walking on the path of TRUTH.

GOD is TRUTH. And you begin in lies. Life is TRUTH and you begin in Hypocrisy. If you go on missing, it is no wonder. – Osho

When you walk the talk – when you live by following the TRUTH – when your communion is with those who love God, who are truthful beings, devoted beings – only then there is a possibility for you all to GROW. SAT SANGHA – is the key to your transformation – it is said that company matters – with whom you live matters – with whom you are friends with – matters, whom you follow – matters – because at the end of the day – it is the ‘vibrations’ that you receive is what is going to make you or break you.

The satsang is – within the mass culture – like little mushrooms here and there, and somebody, maybe a Christian and a Hindu and a Buddhist, come together; doesn’t matter, because those are paths. They’re paths to the One. But those satsangs are what the world needs. And as I say – heart to heart – that’s what satsang is. – Ram Dass

Mohan asked “ For SAT-SANGHA (communion) How to identify real men of values, men of heart?”

The answer is simple – for that first you have to get REAL! And to get REAL – you have to first JUMP WITHIN – look within and change the focus from OUTSIDE to INSIDE – only then can you find real gems in your life – only then you can listen to the ‘music of your life’ that others can’t – only then can you change your life – t all begins from YOU – YOU have to let change happen – YOU cannot change yourself – the old cannot change itself – it has to give way to the OTHER – and so it is only when YOU SURRENDER to your lord – your master that the change within you is initiated – this is how it happens, this is the way of its happening – the larger question that you all should ask yourself is that – ‘Are you ready to surrender?

If you are – then let me tell you from the bottom of my heart – nobody can stop you from being what you are – nobody can block you – the whole essence is in living your life in total surrender – that is what Arjuna did – that is what Ananda did, that is what Sariputa did – that is what Peter did – that is what John the baptist did – and that is what you can also do…..everything is available – and everything is possible – only if you are willing to take one step towards HIM – only if you are willing to take the backseat and let HIM drive your life.

It is only when you live your life in total surrender – that you can meditate. And it is only when you meditate that you can come to your own self realization.

You say that you are too busy to meditate. Do you have time to breathe? Meditation is your breath. Why do you have time to breathe but not to meditate? Breathing is something vital to peoples lives. If you see that Dhamma practice is vital to your life, then you will feel that breathing and practising the Dhamma are equally important. – Ajahn Chah

The need of the hour is to meditate.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

No horoscope is bad. And no horoscope is good either! Good and Bad is the play of the Mind. And the MIND is a monkey.

Truth can be very shattering. It is the truth that there is no good, no bad. That nothing is right and nothing is wrong. Everything is as it is, all condemnation, division is futile. – Osho

Always remember you are the CHILD OF GOD. And God loves You. I can understand how you would have felt when you were humiliated by people who said your Kundli (birthchart) is bad -very bad.

But don’t worry, such men and women are fast asleep and those who are asleep cannot help you with the TRUTH. And the Truth is that every Kundli comes with a certain purpose – something has to be done – some unfinished business has to be finished – you are NOT born accidentally- the UNIVERSE has a purpose to met through YOU! AND so then how come you become useless? How come you become bad?

There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind. – Ramana Maharshi

Good or Bad – is totally based on situations! If a KNIFE becomes your shield – and you can save yourself – protect yourself, then the KNIFE becomes your savior! And if the KNIFE is used to harm you – then the same KNIFE becomes your killer. Now if you ask me -Whether a KNIFE is good or bad?

The answer is impossible – a conscious person would never LABEL anything or any person as GOOD or BAD – he is perfectly aware that it all depend on what PURPOSE is – if the purpose is GOOD – than even a KNIFE becomes GOD, if the purpose is GOOD than even the most condemned man or woman can prove to be a great savior of mankind!

Once it happened – a young man and what a man he was – simple, hardworking and always helpful to all the people of his village. One day – he lost his wife, she died in an accident. After a few days – he lost his daughter, she fell sick and he was short of money, the doctor won’t come – and the only daughter that he had, took her last breath at midnight when the whole village was fast asleep. She was only 6 years old and now the young man had to take her dead body all the way to the graveyard – all alone. Now there was nobody in his life – everything was lost – everything was gone. People started gossiping – ‘this man must have done many sins in his past life.’ – some would say “this man must be a curse to our village’ – some said ‘what an ill fated this man is’ – and slowly slowly all the villagers started condemning him – they started maintaining distance from him. Now the young man left out by all – took to drinking. He became a drunkard.

And every day he was found with a bottle in his hand, swinging around, walking through the narrow lanes of the village….the villagers decided to kick him out of the village but they couldn’t – law would not let them do so….

And so they all would try by every means and ways – to ridicule him, to insult him – to treat him like an animal – and the young man would laugh – he would simply laugh – and move on……at times a few villagers would beat him – and he would start bleeding – and yet he would not say anything – he would just slip out and keep moving from one place to the other…..

One day – it started raining and the rains were so heavily showering that the village was flooded with the rain water – the rains were not stopping – many houses were flooded, people became homeless – the crying of the women, of the children – the havoc all around….and the young man could not control himself….he could not see the dying children and the plight of the women of his village – and so for the first time in his life – he looked up in the sky and said “GOD – if you stop the rain, I will stop drinking. And that is my word.”

And the miracle happened – the rain stopped! God said “ If by stopping the rains – one good thing is happening – if one man is waking up from his ‘sleep’ – than it is worth it.”

And the rains stopped – and the man started crying – he became one of the greatest lover of God that the world had ever known – the villagers came and said “ You saved our lives – you please stay with us – we will help you in every way we can…”

But the young man was fired up – he was no more the same – he said “ I am now leaving – the call from the mountains has come – God has chosen me and my ‘journey’ has began!”

And it is said that the young man went on to become one of the finest Yogi that the world had ever known! A man who was condemned – a man who has beaten to bleed – a man who was LABELED as BAD – becomes the finest YOGI – everything is POSSIBLE – and I say it to all my followers and readers – everything is POSSIBLE – only if your HEART is pure – only if you are a man of HEART and not of HEAD.

People are shallow. The majority is shallow – they are quick to Judge – rarely they can observe – and observation without evaluation is the highest form of INTELLIGENCE!

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence. – Jiddu Krishnamurti

Observe. A very deep word – the Yogi only observes – deep observation. The Yogi will never label you as BAD – he will simply observe. Through this observation – he may feel sorry for you – he may feel compassion for you – he may try to HELP you and NOT condemn you.

Compassion will cure more evil than Condemnation. – H.W. Beecher

But Astrologers are quick to condemn – quick to LABEL someone as BAD and that is the greatest tragedy of this human world. It is shallow – so shallow that the real Yogi is therefore not found in this crowd – HE moves as an INDIVIDUAL – because he is perfectly aware that TRUTH happens to an Individual and not to a crowd.

Truth happens to Individuals and not to Crowds. – Osho

Your MIND is made to believe that your horoscope is BAD. The second question about finding a gemstone is a by product of your belief and it is belief that becomes the greatest hurdle between YOU and your PROGRESS.

Belief is PURE POISON. Never believe a thing. Experiment, live it thoroughly so that you can say on your own authority that it is true. – Osho

An intelligent man never believes – HE experiments – and then based on his experiments – HIS OWN EXPERIENCE – he comes to the TRUTH of the matter. It is HIS experiences that makes him a REAL MAN – an INDIVIDUAL who never believes but always experiments and enrich his life with experiences.

Belief is disastrous because it closes your MIND – once you believe that ‘Cutting your hair on a certain day is bad’ – then no matter what – you will never cut your hair on that specific day! Now there is NO proof of anything bad happening – but just because you have come to believe – you have simply closed your mind. Now even if Jesus comes – Krishna comes – Buddha comes – Mahavira comes – nobody could convince you – because you have simply closed your mind by BELIEVING that hair should not be cut on a certain day – else GOD will get angry at you!

Now what GOD has to do with what you do with your hair! There are millions and millions of people on this planet and God certainly have much better things to do than to watch who is cutting when!

But people fall for beliefs – and that is how they go on missing the many opportunities that God brings on….

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 forgot about the experience. That’s how you have been missing many opportunities when God has knocked at your door. – Osho

There are women who are approached by men who are simply awesome – and yet the women go on rejecting them because they are MANGLIK!

There are men who are approached by beautiful well-cultured women and yet they go on rejecting because they belong to different community and marriage with somebody who is outside the community or caste is ‘believed’ to bring miseries to the family!

So you see – BELIEF plays a major role in people’s life – they are well educated but what they follow is BELIEF and NOT experience and that keeps them away from the TRUTH – from LOVE – from GOD!

A young man was in love. It happens – love happens at the most unexpected moment and you can’t help – you just can’t! You cannot ‘manage’ love – it is not politics!

And so the young man fell in love – and what a beautiful woman she was! Her glow, her smile, her grace – her soft voice, her understanding – the young man could not stop himself from falling in love! He was a meditative man…he was aware that he is falling in love – but still he could not stop himself! Love is very powerful – more powerful than electricity!

Love is the strongest medicine. It is more powerful than electricity. – Neem Karoli Baba

And so love blossomed – he fell madly in love with that woman. Love is alchemist – you become what you love! And the woman was a strong believer of astrology! The young man also started believing in astrology. And then one day – something strange happened…..

The young woman came and she said “ We need to break up.”

The man was shocked. He said “What happened? Did I do anything that made you upset? Please tell me – you are breaking my heart…..”

The woman said “ There is nothing wrong with you – in fact I have been dating with you for last 10 months and you have been such a gentleman….”

“Then why are you breaking up?” asked the young man.

And the woman said “ Because my astrologer has said that your HOROSCOPE IS BAD and it is so BAD that it should be thrown away in a dustbin.”

The man fainted. She had to call an ambulance – but that was the only day when she met him – they never met again. Never.

You see – she says ‘you are a gentleman – you have been such a gentleman….all the time we were together…..’ – her EXPERIENCE says that the man is a real gem of a person – but it is HER BELIEF that overshadows the EXPERIENCE – the FACTS!

The man went into a trauma for the next 6 months until he was finally out of it!

It is a MYTH that it is only WOMEN who become victims of LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS – the majority is of MEN who suffer more than the WOMEN! On this planet there are more men – who take pills at night to overcome their breakup trauma and depressions than the women!

BELIEF plays role – a major role and not the experience. You can easily come out of the BELIEF that your HOROSCOPE is BAD – only when you put aside the monkey mind and start turning inwards! Just look inward and you become aware of the TRUTH. Then you don’t ask for beliefs. Blind people believe in light. Those who have turned inward – have the ‘eyes’ and they don’t need to believe in light – they simply see it.

But there was one blind man – who believed that there is NO LIGHT. And he was very good at logic. He was a very logical person – and the villagers were fed up of him because he would argue that to experience light – either he has to FEEL the light – smell the light or touch the light!

Now light has no smell, and you cannot feel the light – neither can you touch the light! And so the blind man would laugh at them and say “ There is no such thing as light – you all are blind like me – and you all are just fooling me – there is no light.”

The villagers had no answer. But one day – Buddha was passing by – and the villagers thought that now the moment has come – only Buddha can answer this blind man – and so they took the blind man to Buddha. They said “ This blind man is a logical man and through his logic he has been denying the fact that there is ‘light’ in this world – now only you can help us – please help us.”

Buddha said “ The blind man is right – and you all are wrong. What he needs is eyes to see and not argumentation. You have come to the wrong person – he needs a physician – take him to a good physician.”

The villagers asked “ Do you know any good physician – because we don’t have anybody in our village who can cure this man’s eyes.”

Buddha said “ You can take him to my personal physician.”

A great King had provided a personal physician to follow Buddha – just so that he can take care of Buddha’s body. And so the blind man was brought to Buddha’s physician and Buddha left the village.

After a few months, the blind man’s eyes were cured. It was not that he had lost his eyes – it was just some severe infection that had brought a certain blindness to his eyes and now his eyes were cured. The blind man was no more blind – his joy knew no bounds – the first thing he did was to ask “ Where is Buddha? where is the man who have given back – my eyes….I want to meet him….please tell me where is Buddha – where is the master…..?

Nobody could give him the address of Buddha because Buddha never lived at one place for more than a month. And so they just showed him the road through which Buddha had walked – that was the only time when they had seen the Buddha walking out of their village! And the man took to the path of Buddha – he searched and searched and he would ask everybody at every village – every town – “did you see my master – did you see the Buddha?” And people would just show him the way…they would say “ That was the road we had seen him walking…..”

For many days and weeks the man searched until one day while walking through a forest – he dropped down, he was thirsty and somebody came from behind and said “ Take some water….you must be thirsty….” and the voice….the voice moved the man’s heart – he remembered the voice, it was of the Buddha – the same conviction – the same depth – the same love – the same care – the man turned around and his eyes were filled with tears – he started crying – he could control himself – looking at the Buddha, he said “ Master……O master I have been searching for you…..look look at my eyes – they are yours – they are a gift of yours – how should I thank you – because of you I got back my eyes and to meet you – to share this joy with you, I have been searching you all this while. “

Buddha said “ Look now, I have come – now you can relax. Whenever my devotee thirsts for me – I come – my legs move towards those who are deeply in love with me – who are thirsty for my love – you relax, now I am with you.”

And the man relaxed – he relaxed so much in the existence that he went into trance – he transcended the moment Buddha touched him with His ‘Presence’ – the man became one of the greatest lover of Buddha and whenever anybody would ask him “What is the reason you love Buddha?

His would answer “Experience.”

Experience matters – not belief. The man experienced the compassion of Buddha. Buddha provided his personal physician to treat the blind man – who would offer his or her personal physician for a complete stranger? But it was Buddha’s compassion – HIS love – HIS grace that moved the blind man – to him – BUDDHA was GODLY – and Godliness is not something that can be proved or disproved by your logic. Godliness is something that only can be EXPERIENCED!

And so before you start BELIEVING that what has been told to you is the TRUTH – my appeal to you and through your question – to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers is that – instead of believing – instead of falling prey to your belief – turn inwards – and EXPERIENCE who you really are by being more and more meditative!

Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves. – Osho

Once you become a meditative man – you don’t have to rely on what other’s say about you – then there is a certain depth to your life – a certain music to your life – then everything around you is the same but you are no more the same – then the ‘noise’ on the outside remains but the peace within you remains undisturbed by the noise on the outside – then you are truly transforming – then you are in the true sense – PROGRESSING – GROWING – for the real GROWTH is the GROWTH WITHIN!

When your BELIEF drives your life – you become a coward – you become a closed mind – you become fearful – and than this fear compels you to find some SUPPORT to comfort you! The gemstones that you seek is an outcome of the compulsion that is born out of fear!

And the more you go on believing – the more you would destroy all the possibilities to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO FULLEST.

Life begins where fear ends. – Osho

My whole message through this answer to you and to all my readers, followers, and fellow travelers is that FOCUS ON YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES and DROP ALL YOUR BELIEFS – only then a beautiful person within you will evolve – only then there is a possibility for you all to live a joyous, happy life!

And that is what we all are here for! To live a happy life. But it is our ignorance – our beliefs that come in the way and then you wonder “What is wrong with my life?”

Nothing is wrong with your life – if at all there is anything WRONG than it is WITHIN YOU and unless and until you start turning inwards – unless and until you start meditating – you will continue to live your life by relying on others. You will continue to focus on the outside – and you will continue to miss the fact that NOTHING on the outside can be controlled – but only from WITHIN!

Just watch. Someone today is a friend, tomorrow becomes a stranger. Someone today likes you, tomorrow dislikes you. Someone you have been trusting, betrays you someday. You should never rely on that which is on the ‘outside’ – you have absolutely no control on that which is on the ‘outside’ – people change, situations change, life goes on changing, people come and go – and there are many who will come and go…..you just have to Watch – by being a ‘witness’.

“Meditation is witnessing. To meditate means to become a witness.”

Watch from your inner sky and let the clouds float. Become just a watcher. And remember, clouds will come and go, you can remain indifferent. – Osho

Remain indifferent – remain unmoved – and you will be able to do so – only when you turn inwards – when you meditate.

And so come – come you all and sit down and meditate – what happens when you start meditating – millions and millions of thoughts start creating a lot of noise within you – and while all this happens – what you are suppose to do?

WITNESS. Just WITNESS the many thoughts that come to your mind – you don’t have to entangle your ‘self’ in those thoughts – you don’t have to entertain any of those thoughts – you just have treat all those thoughts as VISITORS – and visitors should not be served with TEA! And so never entertain the thoughts when you meditate – the very base of meditation is the WITNESSING – the more you become a WITNESS – the more you will be able to focus on the SELF without getting distracted by the THOUGHTS. When there are thoughts – it is a distraction – when there are no thoughts – it is meditation says the Bhagavan. Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi!

The key is to WITNESS while you meditate! And the same key also enables you overcome the many challenges of material life as well.

One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, ‘Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!’ This should be one’s practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things. – Ramana Maharshi

Always remember – that nothing is bad and nothing is good – it is your perception that you go on labeling people as good or bad – in reality there is nothing that can be said as good or bad. It is your INTERPRETATION – you see a flower outside your window – and you say ‘How beautiful is this flower.’ – somebody else who is walking on the road looks at the same flower and says “Looks like a boring flower – no colors, plain white.”

Now the flower exists there in its own authenticity. It has nothing to do with what OTHERS have to say about it or saying about it!

Be like that Flower! Be engrossed in your authenticity – and then millions and millions of people may go on INTERPRETING you as GOOD or BAD and yet it will not make any difference to you – you will become a dance – dancing in the breeze – just the way the flowers dance and swing in the breeze!

Be a flower – be a dance – let the belief drop out and let your experience become your guide and then the whole universe will be available to you – then nobody can disturb you – then you no more remain a limited version – you become unlimited – then you start resonating with the higher realms of consciousness – then you get the ‘wings’ to fly – and then there is no looking back – the sky is clear and you are ready to fly.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

What is Manglik? It is being courageous – so courageous that they can take risks to save somebody’s life! What is Manglik? – It is basically being sexually more active – so much active – that only another Manglik can sustain the solid sexual power of a Manglik man or woman! What is Manglik? It is being straight – to the point – they are not hypocrites – they say it as it is!

But no one is going to tell you this – because people are afraid – what will he say – what will she say – what will they say? – And so people cover up such a great strength of a MANGLIK – they create fear within them – by saying things that are not true in any sense! They say this and they say that – and they make a ‘Mangalik’ person feel as if he or she has done a SIN – as if he or she is an ALIEN! Because society is fake – society never wants the real to come out – and a Mangalik is a courageous man or woman. They stand up to the call of the situation – they are ones who will not wait and watch but take ACTION. In today’s corporate world – they are the true ACTION LEADERS – they are the ones who have projected ACTION LEADERSHIP!

Navamsha or D9 chart is more spiritual – astral – than physical! And since Manglik has more to do with Physicality – action – energy – sex – power – material – your question gets a NO answer.

You see – I can make out that people have made you believe that MANGLIK is like being a criminal, as if you are an alien – as if you are condemned from the moment you are born! But dear – that is not the case – many great warriors, officers, politicians, movie celebrities are born with the stamp of MANGLIK!

And so I ask all of my followers to spread the word – that to be MANGLIK is not a SIN – is not a SHAME – is not a drawback – but a strength – an unusual power that is ready to face and overcome as many challenges – like a brave soldier!

“Society slanders and condemns the free individual, who is the only alive person – but this is not the whole story. The free individual is condemned in the beginning and worshipped in the end. It has always been the case. If a fully alive man remains alive to the end, he is destined to be condemned first and worshipped and adored later. And a real free person is not afraid of condemnation, ostracism, even crucifixion.” – Osho

A Mangalik is such a man – he is a real free person – who is NOT afraid of condemnation, for freedom – for the truth – for the divine – he is ready to get crucified – A Mangalik is the most fearless man – and certainly can become a great boon to this fake society – if other aspects support!

For more spiritual motivation- you all can avail my published books – ‘How to overcome Rahu’ & ‘ Gift of Consciousness’ on Amazon. Print book copies are shipped across all geographies.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

How can the doctor give you medicine – when you are perfectly fine? But society is fake, society wants you to be as miserable as you can – so then the society pundits can loot you – then you come under their grip – and people are innocent – they are already fighting many battles of life – who has the courage to stand up and say – that this so-called – MANGLIK-DOSH – is a loot – a straightway abusive exploitation – who has the courage – if you say so – you will be condemned as a fool – but I don’t care – and so I am standing up and saying again and again to all my followers – don’t become a victim of this crap – there is no need to fear of Mangalik Dosha – it is not a ‘disease’ – it is not something that makes you ‘untouchable’!

Calling someone ‘Mangalik’ – sounds abusive. And if you are falling for this abuse – if you are not willing to come out of the darkness (ignorance) then you better ignore me and my answer. You can continue to live with the label of being Mangalik – that is your choice, can’t help!

In reality, there is nothing called as ‘Mangalik’ – it is, in fact, a very positive sign of a person have more energy of Mars. There are millions of people who are ‘Mangalik’ – and who are doing exceptionally well – in marriages – in relationships – in jobs – in businesses – in politics – in film/entertainment industry you name it – and there are millions of examples.

FEAR is sold fast – and so a fear is created – then you will come, then you will shell out good money – it has become a business – a business of Mangalik Fear!

Beliefs come out of FEAR! And this is significant – once a fear is created – a certain belief is born out of it! Truth is not born out of FEAR – God is not born out of FEAR – God can only be known out of Love! And people waste their whole life – by living in fear – they miss the truth, they miss God, they simply miss the whole beauty – the whole happiness and joy of life! They miss life. Life never begins.

“Life begins where fear ends.”
-Osho

Mangalik is just a signal that you have more energy, more power, more courage, more bravery, more individualism than the others! And so you see great commanders, great politicians, great actors, great writers, great talented men and women with this position and look – what the ignorant men of this world have made this wonderful placement into – they have made it a cause of ‘fear’ – just for few coins, they have sold MARS – they have sold FEAR – and I appeal to all my followers and the questioner to not to buy this FEAR – to understand the positive side of the story – remember every placement irrespective of what it is – has a positive and negative side to it!

Positive. Negative. Both are required to complete you.

“I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole.”
– C.G. Jung

Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell. They both are there, absolutely balanced. It is up to you to choose. The negative is not your imagination, neither the positive is your imagination. They both are there – absolutely balanced. It is up to you to choose.

Similarly, for all kind of planetary placements – it is up to you to choose!

Mars is the planet of energy – pure energy – and Mars doesn’t distinguish the energy that it bestows upon you – it is pure energy – now what and how your direct this energy is solely the choice of the individual! Why TOO MUCH OF MARS or Mangalik as they say – is a point of sensitivity is because now you have got immense energy – more than what the other ‘common’ folks get from Mars – with too much of mars – you are blessed with too much of sexual energy – too much of courage – too much of bravery – too much of aggressiveness – too much of daring – so you see – ‘Too Much’ is the only catch!

“TOO MUCH – is the only sin.” -Lao Tzu

Learn to CURB the- TOO MUCH-ness and you will be okay – then there is an altogether different meaning to this placement – then failure becomes a success – then all that seems to be impossible becomes possible – then life is no more the same – then life is more of love and less of logic!

The marriage of a strong Martian has to be with a strong martian! And that is obvious – because when you have 2000cc of sexual power – you cannot be satisfied by someone who has just 8oocc of sexual power! A Maruti 800 won’t catch up with a BMW – to catch up with a BMW – you need a BMW only!

Using the word ‘Mangalik’ – is highly abusive – it works in India – but in the US or in any western country such an abusive word will not be tolerated – but our fellow Indians have been so much brainwashed by the religious pundits and certain astrologers that – they just don’t find anything wrong in being bullied or labeled as Mangalik – so here I am going to refer to a much victimized Mangalik individual as a strong Martian.

A strong Martian is outspoken, courageous, bold – he or she is a TIGER – and so when it comes to a relationship, a partnership, a marriage – a good match has to be there – someone who is also outspoken, someone who is also courageous, bold, large-hearted – open to ideas – now in this world – how many are true with such great qualities? And so often getting a suitable match for marriage – becomes a challenging task! Now which astrologer is going to tell you this – who wants to lose a good lucrative business of selling fear of Mars?

But I am doing it – just for the sake of my followers – just so that anybody who follows me – does not get trapped in lies and fears – I want all my followers to live a fearless life – a life that is not burdened by fear but is flying with courage, with faith, with patience!

Just a touch of guidance, a touch of love, a touch of understanding – and a cruel Saul becomes Saint Paul – an illiterate thief Ratnakar – becomes Saint Valmiki – an ignorant warrior – Arjuna becomes the greatest warrior the world had ever known! So don’t condemn anybody – only a man who has shallow understanding would condemn others – a man of awareness, a meditative man would never condemn but rather be as compassionate as possible – that is how Jesus is, that is how Krishna is, that is how Buddha is!

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”
-Dalai Lama

A strong martian is very sexy, very attractive, very bold, very outspoken and very compassionate also! To find a match for such a unique individual is not going to be an easy task – and so either marriage are delayed or marriages fail when the ‘match’ is missed!

A strong martian (or as they use the abusive word – Mangalik) – is a unique individual – and so I appeal to all my followers to look within and if you are a ‘Strong Martian’ – then realize your unique individuality – you are born not by accident – there is a reason for your existence, understand, realize that reason. Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny–he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed.

“You are not here Accidentally, you are here Meaningfully. There is a Purpose behind you. The whole Intends to do something Through You.” – Osho

A strong martian has immense energy – there is a reason for his or her existence – some work has to be finished – some questions left unanswered in the last life has to be answered – so there is much going on, the energy is overflowing – weak people, ignorant people who can’t take it – start criticizing, start condemning such beautiful strong Martians – who wants to know the truth – and truth has no agenda! Buddha has no agenda, Krishna has no agenda, Jesus has no agenda – truth is flowing – the river is flowing – whosoever comes is welcomed – and the truth is only a few come, only few could really understand – Jesus had only 12 Apostles, Krishna had only one Arjuna, Buddha had only one Sariputra – truth has always fewer followers – and yet it is truth that prevails, it is the truth that remains! One who speaks the truth is condemned – is crucified.

“ALL TRUTH PASSES THROUGH THREE STAGES:
FIRST
it is ridiculed.
SECOND
appler It is violently opposed.
THIRD
It is accepted as being self-evident.”
-Arthur Schopenhauer 

I appeal to all my followers – do not fear, do not feel low, do not allow others to bully you – stand up and understand the truth – and the truth is – that you don’t become an alien just because you have a strong martian energy – just because you are more courageous, just because you are outspoken, just because you have the daring to face challenges, just because you have the guts to go against the society and stand up to the truth – no my dear Martians – you are not aliens, you are not to be sidelined or condemned but to be appreciated for your wonderful qualities that have made this world a more beautiful place, a more safe place to live!

“Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.”
-Rajneesh

There is no answer to your question because in my ‘dictionary’ – such questions don’t exist and it should not exist in your dictionary also. Your question – itself is a proof that you have been thinking a lot negative about the wonderful martian qualities – and I don’t blame you for this because that is what the society wants you to be – a fearful man!

“THE SOCIETY SUCCEEDS THE DAY YOUR CENTER GOES INTO A COMA AND YOUR CIRCUMFERENCE REMAINS FUNCTIONING. THEN YOU ARE A ROBOT, A MACHINE, NO MORE A MAN.”
-OSHO

And that’s my whole purpose for being on this forum and that is to help you and all those who are following me – to understand to realize the truth. Whatsoever the society has done to you has to be undone. Your consciousness has to be leaned, emptied so that you can become like a pure mirror reflecting reality!

Remember – we are in this beautiful world – not to condemn others – but to love others and the first step to love others starts with yourself!

“Nobody has ever said to you, “Love yourself!” The very idea seems absurd loving oneself? The very idea makes no sense loving oneself? We always think that to love one needs somebody else. But if you don’t learn it with yourself you will not be able to practise it with others.”
-Osho

And so the only answer that can truly address your question is just in two words – “Love Yourself”.

Let love be the answer to all your questions and love is born out of understanding – deep understanding! True love is born out of understanding says the Buddha!

“Let understanding be your only law.” -Osho

If you can grow in love, you will grow in awareness and if you grow in awareness – you will grow in love! Love blossoms through understanding. And understanding comes through deep meditation. Meditate and also help others meditate – the answer to all miseries is within you – turn inwards and meditate.

“Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.”
-Osho

Jai Ganesha! Jai Guru!

Don’t expect for the court cases to end. The very fact that you expect the court cases to end reflects that you are not ‘living’ a single day. Your mind is simply in the future and ‘life’ is in the NOW – THE PRESENT MOMENT!

You are missing life because your mind is not letting you live in the Present moment.

This is affecting your health and your peace. My suggestion is that you just flow with your life by being here now….just flow…let the case go on and on….you simply go with the flow. Let there be no expectation and no hope. A man who lives with hope is not living in the moment but in the future!

“ Unless you are totally destroyed as a Mind, there is absolutely no hope for you.” – Osho

So first the Mind has to be totally destroyed. The Mind is in Rush. “ when will this happen, when will that happen” – the mind is always in rush – the mind is always restless – that its nature!

I am helping you to understand the nature of such a restless Mind. And through your question – I am trying to help all my readers and followers to understand the futility of this monkey mind.

It is your Mind that affects your Health. In astrology terms – it is your Moon and its state that goes on affecting your health.

We all have to overcome this monkey mind and the way to do so is by slowly turning inwards. And for that one has to spend some quality time in Meditation. STILL the wavering restless mind by being more and more meditative.

In the larger interest of my readers and followers – I would like to share one of the most beautiful quotes of the Bhagavan:

I rarely answer such personal questions but maybe the answer has come for the larger interest of all those who may go through a similar phase in their own life.

My major concern – especially for all my followers is their Health. Because when you become trapped in the clutches of the Mind – this Mind gives birth to many miseries- and then most horrifying of these miseries is the problems of your deteriorating health.

So my suggestion through this question to all my genuine readers and followers is that DO NOT LET THE MIND TAKEOVER YOUR SELF.

Do not let any situation impact your decisions or choices. Make choices with your own Consciousness.

So do not let the situation impact your peace. The mind quickly makes you feel restless because you have become the mind. Once you all start moving away from the mind and moving closer to your self – the situation may remain the same or may not- BUT you remain no more the same. Then there is a song to it. Then there is a dance to it. Then everything around you is the same BUT you are no more the same. Then you have tasted for the first time in your life – the taste of true freedom. The taste of true peace and bliss.

Whenever you are worried about the external situation- it simply means that you have become dependent on the external factors of your life. Whenever I mention you – it is meant not just for the questioner but for all my followers.

Whenever your happiness is based on the nature of the external factors – you are in deep trouble. Because happiness derived from external factors or situations is short-lived. The moment the external situation changes – the level or the state of your happiness goes on changing! What is the use of such fragile happiness?

Always remember- Happiness is based on what you are from within.

So come you all and instead of waiting for the situation to change, start changing yourself.

Focus within. Turn inwards and just go with the flow of your life. Don’t interrupt.

Marriage is not happening– job is not coming your way – inlaws are not behaving properly or court cases are not getting over – do not worry because the moment you start worrying- you are caught in the trap of the mind and the mind ensures that you become as miserable as possible – leading you to many unwanted situations and more miseries.

So learn to live in FAITH and PATIENCE. Said Baba has offered the most valuable message to us – and it should be written in GOLD. The message is practicing SHRADDHA (Faith) AUR (And) SABURI (Patience).

Let this golden message of Sai baba become the anchor of your life. And I appeal to all my followers and readers – meditate on Sai baba’s golden message. It is an irony that people are offering kilos and kilos of gold to Sai baba but conveniently ignoring His golden message!

Sai Baba is least interested in how much money or gold you offer on His holy feet. Sai Baba is more interested to see how much you implement his message in your life! For it is the message of the divine masters that will help you find the way…..

And the way is not up in the sky, the way is not outward – the way is very much inward. Turn inward. And let the light of Consciousness within you become your guiding angel.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

A few days ago something significant happened.

I stay on the top floor. And every morning around 60 pigeons would come on my open big terrace – simply because I would feed them with a lot of healthy grains. Just out of love. Just because I love birds a lot.

But yesterday a woman came and said “ I stay on the first floor and I could see many birds especially pigeons flying from all directions towards your terrace and they shit a lot and all of it is causing me a problem. We are suffering because you are feeding the pigeons.”

I can see her eyes and I can tell that this woman is not going to understand anything that I speak and so I simply said “ So then I have to stop feeding them…if that is what you wish then be it so…”

For many days after this incident the birds would come and wait for their ‘food’…..but what can I do! Society is like this – when you live in a society you have to follow the society norms! Else the society will label you – and on the other hand, then the same society will go on giving lectures on how much they love the animals and birds and how we all should care for them!

Society is a bunch of hypocrites – every morning when I see the birds coming and waiting for some food – I feel helpless – I tell them it is NOT me who has stopped offering them their food it is THIS FAKE SOCIETY that has absolutely no interest in genuine act of kindness but is more interested in a hypocrite in a show-off act that has absolutely no substance to it.

The woman who has stopped me – is going to be cursed by the poor birds. Not ME. I have nothing to do with what is going to happen to her and her family. She herself has caused harm by her own ignorance and what goes around comes back to you. It is the law of the cosmic universe. And there is absolutely no doubt about it. She may be visiting temples and she may do many poojas but she will always face difficulties because she has stopped someone from having food. Food – which is the very source of our physical existence than no matter whether you are human or a bird….food remains the source of life! And by stopping the very source of life this woman has invited many miseries into her life…soon she will realize when the tables will start turning against her.

This woman will face many difficulties and she will go to many places to find a solution but nothing will work because the basic essence is not understood- the basic essence is to live your life by NOT being self-centered but by being more of a GIVER, by being more understanding towards others.

Let understanding be the only law of your life. – Osho

But understanding is not taught in any universities or colleges. Understanding comes only through your own self-realization, through your own self-inquiry!

And Buddha says:

True Love is born out of understanding!

It is only when your understanding becomes deeper that you can truly love. Then you can understand. Then you can forgive. Then you can find peace, happiness, and bliss. Then you can live – in true sense!

But the shallow mind cannot understand.

And this is what is happening with every person who is behind the BIG PICTURE and BIG THINGS – when God is to be found only in the small things the most simple things!

Simple man. Simple woman. And they look beautiful because beauty is in your simplicity.

And simplicity is born out of innocence.

And Innocence is possible only when you are following the TRUTH.

Many of you and I say it specifically to all my followers and readers – are making such silly mistakes. Nobody is going to tell you this because everybody wants to have more likes!

But I am telling you – only a real friend can tell you the hard truth and only who can tell you the hard truth is your real friend!

Small things. Understand this, this is significant- small things.

Now, what was this women’s problem? That some grains from the top floor are falling in her garden – that’s all! But for that, she stopped a nobleman from offering food to the starving birds! Now, who is responsible for their starvation? Tell me?

And this is how KARMA is born – piece by piece- grain by grain – this is how you go on shaping your Karma and then when life goes against you – you start running from one pundit to the other – from one astrologer to the other….

And let me tell you not a single person can help you simply because you have shut all the doors of possibility through your own SELFISHNESS – through your own SELF CENTERED attitude!

I humbly accepted her request, but I was perfectly aware that she herself is digging her own grave by stopping someone from feeding the innocent birds!

Birds. I love birds. And let me tell you all – that I feed birds out of love. Never I have thought of what planets will be empowered by feeding the birds. When there is NO AGENDA to your ACT OF RANDOM KINDNESS – then the Gods shower all their love upon you – then who is bothered about planets and stars when God himself is with you!

There is one beautiful story – the story of the birds.

There was a young man, he must be like me. He loved birds. And so every early morning he would go to the seashore and offer grains and many birds would come and they would sing and dance and merry go round him and it was a fun a joyous moment for the young man. Slowly the birds became his friends- now they would come and sit on his shoulders- sing to his ears and now it became a family. Days passed and every morning the birds would wait for his arrival and he would wait for their arrival! It was a lovers paradise- if at all anything was there than it was love and love and just love!

One day the young man’s father said: “ Mohan I have heard that every morning when you go to the seashore for your morning walk – many beautiful birds come to play with you….will you bring one bird for me to play?”

Mohan said, “ Let me try.”

The next morning Mohan comes to the seashore but something strange happens. The birds come but they don’t come close to him. They fly high in the sky….they chirp they sing but they seem to stay away from Mohan….”

You know why?

Because the birds could sense that this man is not our man. That this man has come today with some AGENDA. He is not the person that we had know – that we have loved – that we had been friends with….this person is not our Mohan…this person seems to be a new Mohan …a Mohan who has come with some purpose with some agenda with some goal to appease someone…..

And so Mohan moved his hands high in the air, he jumped, he called them but not a single bird came closer to him….

Love happens only when there is No Agenda. God happens only when there is No Agenda.

But people are misled. People are told to do something to get something! And when you go with an Agenda – nothing ever happens for good.

And so I appeal and insist on all my genuine followers and readers to do something out of LOVE – pure Love!

Love Is Happy When It Is Able To Give Something. Ego Is Happy When It Is Able To Take Something. – Osho

And so I am the only person who is going to tell you something that probably nobody has ever told you. Feed the birds. Feed the dogs. Feed the cats. Feed the fishes. But when you do so – DO NOT DO IT FOR GETTING SOMETHING IN RETURN.

And then such questions that the questioner has asked will never arise!

But who wants to listen? Truth is fiercely opposed. Condemned and ridiculed. And yet it is the Truth that always remains. Always!

The mind has its own propaganda. The mind is a dealer. The mind wants something in return. The heart is simply happy to give!

And I would like you all to become the followers of your heart! And followers of heart are always in minority and yet it these followers of heart who make this world a much better place to live!

In a way, I liked this question- but I would have loved this question- if the question would have been put in this way- “Why do we feed birds for a certain purpose. WHY CANT WE FEED THE BIRDS OR ANY ANIMAL OUT OF LOVE – PURE LOVE?”

And when you do so – let me tell you all from the bottom of my heart – you never ever have to worry about any planet or star – everything will be done for you!

Interestingly, the Bible or any holy scripture NEVER say ‘Figure it out for yourself’- because you don’t have to figure it out – God will do it for you- all that YOU have to do is to SURRENDER yourself totally to your Lord and then the real journey begins….than there is a song to it…then there is a music to your life..a certain rhythm..a certain depth!

Society says don’t feed birds in your terrace. Society says don’t feed stray dogs. Society says don’t give shelter to stray dogs because that causes us a certain uncomfortableness. Now, this is a well-calculated thought that you should help others only by safeguarding your comfortability! Perfect hypocrisy.

And then the same Society comes on your TV, on your newspapers and give you all a nice goody lectures on how we should love animals!

Society is Fake. Society would never want you to become wise. The society succeeds the day your CENTER goes into a coma and your circumference remains functioning. Then you become a robot…a machine. – Osho

Society will always try to dictate you. But you should find your way out. It is not about fighting with society- that would be utterly foolish. It has more to do with finding your own self! Your own center.

And meditation is all about getting to the center of yourself.

Once you are rooted within your Center – nothing from the outside can move you. – Osho

So come – come you all and move towards your center – by turning inwards, by moving within, by becoming more and more meditative.

Act Of Random Kindness (ARK) is possible only through a man or a woman who is becoming more and more meditative! Such an act is blessed by the Grace of the Lord. You do something good without having any thoughts of getting anything in return and that’s a Saintly Act!

If we all do one act of random kindness, we might just set the world towards right direction. – Martin Kornfeld

I would love to see you all – moving towards your heart because it is only through the heart that a selfless act of Kindness can randomly happen and whenever it happens – watch my words – remember my words – the heavens will fall upon you- God will come to your help but ONLY when there is no selfish interest, when there is absolutely NO AGENDA to your Act of Giving.

Truth Has No Agenda. Love has no Agenda. And so I would love to see you all doing any good thing without having any agenda, without having any selfish interest, without having any expectations. Only then your act will reach to the heavens and only then your prayers will be heard – when you do something out of love and not out of the calculative mind.

Get out of your Head and get into your Heart. Think less. Feel more. – Osho

Life is less of logic and more of love! Whenever you do anything out of love – there is a certain grace to it, a certain fragrance to it. Many have come and many have left – almost all these were logical heads that only made a lot of noise and nothing else!

Knowledge is noisy. And truth can only be found in deep silence.

So close your eyes and I say to you all – spend some time in Meditation- every morning….sit down…in a closed room…close your eyes and meditate. Breath in. Breath out. Focus on your breathing. Listen to the melody of your breathing and stay in deep Meditation. The whole story of life is between these two actions – breathe in and breath out. And if you have realized this truth than soon the story will be revealed to you….you yourself would start realizing – which ‘frame’ of your life needs to be ‘edited’ (rectified) and then the story of your life will start blossoming into something so beautiful that you would never have had imagined…..this is how it all happens…this is the way of its happening!

Always remember and I say it to all my followers- You are the sculptor of your own life. If you want to change your life….you have to start changing yourself. But the ‘old’ cannot change itself. You cannot change yourself. For that you have to allow change to happen….for that, you have to first surrender to your Lord in totality! The way towards transformation goes through the devoted act of living your life in total Surrender…in total Acceptance!

A man who Accepts all that life provides with a sense of gratitude becomes the Buddha. – Osho

Feed the birds. Feed the poor. But do it with no agenda, with no expectations and then see how life starts blossoming into a beautiful flower!

Love is the way. And love has no expectations. Absolutely no expectations!

The answer is in one line – and I say it to all – everything will work when you do something NOT out of expectations – but out of LOVE!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

She will never change. And this is what we all try to do – we all want to CHANGE the other person and that is the greatest mistake – the greatest irony.

Never try to change others because you can NEVER do that!

A person as long as remains CLEVER – he tries to change the world.

The moment a person becomes WISE – he starts CHANGING himself!

Can People Around Me Change Myself. – Rumi

I can understand your pain, I can understand your dilemma. You are caught up in a situation that you can NEVER change! You are caught up with a person who also will never change! What to do then?

Be an Individual. Show some courage and stand out – REBEL – because only an individual can rebel – can speak up – can voice out without fearing of any consequences.

To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. – Osho

I have seen – and I want to share from the bottom of my heart – that – in offices, at home, at places wherever you will go – there are people who live their whole life by being a ‘SHEEP’ – and then there are people – men and women – who REBEL – who VOICE OUT – who will TAKE RISKS but will NEVER COMPROMISE. These men and women – are the real INDIVIDUALS – they have something in them – and it is called DIGNITY – and the SELF-RESPECT. They are the REAL men and REAL women – men of STEEL – ‘individuals’.

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

Never tolerate the arrogance and insensitivity of your BOSS. Never tolerate INJUSTICE and never tolerate nonsense people – the more you tolerate the more they will dominate you – this is HOW PEOPLE EXPLOIT – this HOW PEOPLE DOMINATE – they are not responsible – YOU are RESPONSIBLE because you remain mum – you remain silent.

Our Lives Begin To End The Day We Become Silent About Things That Matter. – Martin Luther King Jr.

People are running around with their horoscopes to overcome such situations that are caused by their own silence!

What is the astrologer going to do?

Rituals and Remedies will NOT help – your PRACTICAL SENSE – your INDIVIDUALITY – your COURAGE to VOICE your CONCERNS and OPINIONS is what going to matter and help you to overcome this situation.

Just the way for minor scratches and injuries you don’t have to visit a Doctor – similarly for such situations you don’t have to visit an Astrologer and I say it – may be I am the only one who can say it – in spite of being an Astrologer!

Because REALITY is a REALITY. And I live by BEING REAL.

And whosoever is REAL is condemned ferociously – because the SOCIETY can never stand the TRUTH.

Always remember – and I say it to all my genuine readers, followers and fellow travelers – that Society will NEVER like you – IF you are saying the TRUTH! This is the same society who crucified Jesus – this is the same society who caused much trouble to Sai Baba – this is the same society who forced Seeta into exile! You see – the society hates the TRUTH – the society hates the INDIVIDUAL.

The society hates the individual. The society wants you to mix with the crowd, to fit with the crowd. Stop being yourself; just be a carbon copy of the ideal that the society has determined is how a person should be. It has not asked you how you would like to be – the ideals are determined by others. You are simply victims. Every individual on the earth is a victim of the crowd. – Osho

Never follow the crowd. LIONS LEAD – Be a Lion. Be a Lioness. Roar and voice your opinion and your thoughts without thinking of what other people will say – that’s being YOURSELF – that’s being an INDIVIDUAL.

The Greatest Fear In The World Is Of The Opinions Of Others. And The Moment You Are Unafraid Of The Crowd You Are No Longer A Sheep. You Become A Lion. A Great Roar Arises In Your Heart. The Roar Of Freedom. – Osho

Whether you are daughter in law OR a mother in law – if you don’t like to do something than simply SAY IT and BE FIRM on your STAND.

Never COMPROMISE.

Compromise – the very word is not in my vocabulary. Compromise is ugly. Rebellion is either/or, it never compromises. How can truth compromise with lies?

And so I have always been saying to all those who have been trying to connect with me – that if you are True – I am with You. But if I am True – then you will have to be with me – without any conditions.

Compromise is NOT my game. Only a man who wants to strengthen his EGO – will compromise – a man who is trying to overcome the EGO – will NEVER COMPROMISE.

The Ego wants to remain – it can use any means. For the ego, anything that keeps it strong is right – might is right. So if you can get something through compromise, why should you bother to fight? Yes, if you cannot get it through compromise, you are ready to struggle, to fight, to do anything that you are capable of. – Osho

Always remember – a man COMPROMISES only when HE is AWARE that HIS EGO is being safeguarded!

So the idea that people compromise by dropping their Ego is a total distortion of the reality! People compromise ONLY when their EGO is taken care of!

But a man who is coming closer to the TRUTH – a man who is coming closer to the state of consciousness – will NEVER compromise because he has absolutely NO SELF INTEREST IN STRENGTHENING or MASSAGING his EGO.

It always happens – it has happened with me – because I have NEVER compromised in my whole life and man who NEVER compromises is always labeled as a REBEL!

Be it so – I am what I am – and it is always good to be what you are – that makes you beautiful – because whatever flows naturally is always beautiful!

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. – Lao Tzu

The difference between a COMMON man and the real individuals is that the individual never bothers about the CONSEQUENCES – he simply fights for FREEDOM, for TRUTH, for LOVE!

And so we have one BHAGAT SINGH in a millions – we have one MAHATMA GANDHI in a million – we have one LOKMANYA TILAK in a million – these and many such great men NEVER bothered for what will happen to them or their family – they simply STOOD UP to their PRINCIPLES – their IDEOLOGY.

Lokmanya Tilak – one of the finest and greatest freedom fighter – who was fondly called as Tilak MAHARAJ! And there is a beautiful story to share….

Once it happened – Lokmanya Tilak was spending his days in prison – the Britishers had send him to jail for he was the most dangerous rebel and the Britishers were afraid that if we let this ‘lion’ give a free hand than he may simply throw us out of power. And so the Britishers put Tilak Maharaj in jail.

But even in the jail, even while in the lock up – Tilak did not stop. The Britishers may have arrested him – but his hands were still free to write!

And so Lokmanya Tilak started writing the Bhagvad Gita – and in that dark prison – in that utter darkness – he wrote one of the greatest simplified version of Bhagvad Gita that could lighten up millions of lives who had faith in him, who followed him and who loved him!

And after many months and days – he completed the simplified version of Bhagavd Gita – and on that day – when he wrote the very last sentence of the book – his joy knew no bounds – there was no light in the prison – it was a dark room but even in that darkness – Tilak could feel abundance of light flowing within his whole being – the book was completed – and he was now ready to rest. But the British officers were very cruel people – the moment they realized that Lokmanya Tilak has scripted a book – they came and they BURNED the whole book – imagine – just imagine what could have happened – how deeply the heart of Tilak would have moved with pain……seeing one of the greatest creation – his labor of love being BURNED before his eyes – imagine what – just image…..even as I write this – my eyes have become wet…..

BUT TILAK was TILAK. Looking at the ceiling of that dark prison and seeing the book burned by the British officers – Tilak said in Marathi – “ Punaccha Shri Ganeshaya” – meaning – “No problem – let me start all over again!”

That was how this GREAT MAN was – what a heart – what a NEVER GIVE UP attitude – how to express this – I am short of words – I am speechless…..a beautiful real picture of the greatest Freedom Fighter – Lokmanya Tilak, I prostrate before HIS GREATNESS….

But the story does not end here.

Lokmanya Tilak then started writing again and after many months and days – he again completed the same book – and by then his time to come out of the prison had come – he was finally released from the prison – and then it is said that the FIRST MAN whom TILAK gifted this beautiful book (Bhagvad Gita) was SAI BABA!

Sai Baba received the first copy written by Tilak and Sai baba blessed his book and Tilak was touched – his eyes became wet – very few words were shared between the two – when hearts connect – words are not required – the ‘communication’ happens in silence! Real communication happens in silence. Deep silence.

Never tolerate injustice. Never tolerate discrimination. Never tolerate domination of others – and NEVER TRY TO CHANGE OTHERS – because other never change – many have tried to change others and they all have failed miserably – because you can NEVER change the world – but you can change YOURSELF.

How to change yourself?

You can change yourself – when you ALLOW change to happen within you!

And you will allow change to happen – only when you *willing* to change!

You see – unless there is an intense WILLINGNESS – you cannot change!

AND once you are WILLING to CHANGE – you are READY. Once the READINESS evolves within you – then NOBODY can stop you from changing.

ACTION comes NOT from our thought – but from our READINESS to ACT – to CHANGE – to TRANSFORM!

And so never think and never wait for OTHER to change – rather get ‘ready’ to change yourself – your husband, your mother-in-law or your wife will never change – but you can change yourself – you can tame your mind and you can be more understanding.

When you love – you simply love! Then you cannot say that “I accept half – and other half need to change” – when you love someone you have to ACCEPT that person wholeheartedly – completely with all his or her good as well as not so good qualities!

But that is not what the husband or wife does! That is not what the girlfriend or boyfriend does – the moment they start living together – they start changing the other person and then the whole essence of love is lost – because love blossoms only when there is total acceptance – total freedom!

That is why I always say that if your girlfriend or boyfriend – if your husband or wife is meditating – then you also should meditate – otherwise you will remain behind while your partner will move ahead on the higher altitudes and then your wavelength cannot match – then the friction will happen!

Relationship or Marriage is like a ‘boat’ – in which both – the husband and wife / boyfriend and girlfriend should BALANCE the ACT – by following same life style – only then the level of ‘understanding’ between them remains the same and as long as the level of understanding is the same – marriage or relationship continues to blossom!

Understanding is not taught in any universities or schools. Understanding is something that one has to learn by turning inwards.

Buddha says “True Love is born out of understanding”!

Changing yourself – means scaling up the level of understanding within you!

To UNDERSTAND everything is to FORGIVE everything – says the Buddha!

The more a person is understanding – the more you like him. The more a person can understand your feeling – the more you share with him. The more a person appreciate your sharing – the more you connect with him. You see – everything comes to understanding!

And so come, come you all and spend some time in meditation. The matters of this human world are very sensitive – you have to raise your awareness and become more understanding. And to raise your awareness – you all have to meditate.

Meditation and understanding are synonymous. So when I say “understand in meditation,” I am saying to be silent, quiet, cool and see. You are not to do anything else, you have to be just silent, cool and calm, and see. And understanding arises on its own accord. It is the fragrance of being silent. – Osho

Always remember – in life you will meet many strange people who will become JEALOUS of your success, who will unnecessary – for absolutely no reason – will try to cause harm to you – will cause to disturb you – but you always have to remain AWARE.

Never let the noise on the outside disturb your inner peace. LET GO. RELAX. And get back ‘home’ – to the source.

Always remember – nothing lasts forever! Change is constant, except change – everything else changes – so just flow with your life, be more understanding and remove the very thought of changing others – because others can never change – BUT – You Can!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me.

Let this beautiful prayer be always with you all – for it can help you to become more and more understanding.

Love & Light to all my readers and followers.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Naadi Dosha – Monday fasting – start fasting on Mondays for 12 years after marriage. Worship Lord Shiva and perform Abhishek using cow’s fresh milk.

Mangalik Dosha – KUMBH VIVAH should be performed and then you can marry the love of your life.

18 POINTS – Weak match technically. And so the PRACTICAL SOLUTION is AFTER MARRIAGE KEEP YOURSELF BUSY IN WORK. Maintain a balance in work and romance. Don’t stay too much entangled. Lao Tzu says “ Too much is the only sin”.

Lastly always remember that it is the level of Understanding that matters above.

Buddha says “ TRUE LOVE IS BORN OUT OF UNDERSTANDING.”

DO NOT FEAR. STEP AHEAD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF YOUR HEART. FOR THE HEART IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

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

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

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

The Yogi had answered “ Cotton flower”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

THOUGHTS SHAPE YOUR LIFE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS. THE QUALITY OF LIFE IS BASED ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS. And so whenever any negative lustful thoughts come to your mind – remember to WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS – because that one wrong thought can lead you to many wrongs – eventually leading you to nowhere!

The whole journey of this human life is to FINE TUNE the THOUGHTS that you have been carrying along all your births and rebirths! Many times – I meet people who are taking efforts to raise the QUALITY OF THEIR THOUGHTS and many times I come across UTTERLY RUBBISH NEGATIVE USELESS men and women who only spend their whole life in HURTING OTHERS by their CHEAP THOUGHTS And CHEAP COMMENTS. Can’t Help – such men and women eventually end up in a NOWHERE world – they suffer a lot – and they go through many miseries. Many times people ask me “But such filthy men and women in spite of their LOW GRADE THOUGHTS – are doing well – they are having good bank balance – they are having all good luxuries – when will they start facing miseries in their life?”

You should always remember – that just like you – GOD is also waiting for these people to comes to their senses – GOD also wants them to PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO OTHERS – but do you remember the incident when LORD KRISHNA waited and waited and waited UNTIL SHISHU PAL abused him for 100 times – do you remember that incident – have you ever read about that incident – I urge all my dear followers who love me – who have been following me consistently – to please read about this incident – and you will find your answer! Until SHISHU PAL’s quota of SIN is not FULL (100 SINS) – Lord Krishna simply waits and waits and waits and SHISHU PAL goes on ABUSING KRISHNA – goes on COMMENTING ABUSIVELY – and Krishna waits! But the moment SHISHU PAL’s quote of SIN is FULL – Lord Krishna takes him to TASK!

That is how the benevolent master is – that is how Lord Saturn – that is why I LOVE SATURN – because SATURN also waits and waits and waits and when the TIME is right – HE STRIKES and HE STRIKES SO BADLY that the man or woman who have been abusing you – commenting badly on you – becomes handicapped – becomes miserable – falls in utter desperation!

And so those negative men and women who have been causing harm to you – by doing black magic – by commenting negatively – by trying to defame you – THOSE ALL BUNCH OF FELLOWS will definitely FACE the WRATH of SATURN – the WRATH of KRISHNA – the WRATH of GOD – but only when their TIME WILL CHANGE FOR BAD.

And who can know better about time and timing than an Astrologer! That is why Astrologer during the old days were not common beings – they were highly spiritual seers – who spend only 2 hours in doing consultation while the rest of their time was spend in meditations – in deep penance!

There was a young man – he must be like me. He was young and he was being troubled by a few women and men – and one day unable to bear the difficulties and pain and sufferings of life – he went to the master and the master was in his own bliss, his own peace – the master said “ What happened?”

The young man said “ When will these men and women will pay for what they have done to me?”

The master said “ You are an idiot. Why you think so much about your enemies? Why don’t you focus on your FRIEND. I am your Friend. Look at me – don’t you see a friend in me?”

The young man started crying – he touched the feet of the master and said “ Master I am touched – I am so sorry – I have got your message – it is always better to focus on our true friends than our enemies. But….”

“Still you have a ‘But’ ! “ said the benevolent master.

Then looking at the young man the master smiled and said “ Mohan – I know there is a woman and a man who is trying to kill you – who is trying to play all sorts of dirty games and spells on you – but remember my word – a TIME will come when they both will have to PAY for their deeds – you just wait – you just be patient – and now you just have this cup of hot tea.”

Mohan smiled – the word of the master brought a sudden relief to his being. He joined the master – and the master spontaneously asked “ MOHAN – ARE YOU HERE?”

And the call was so spontaneous that Mohan quickly responded “ Yes Master – I AM HERE.”

And that this whole message my fellows – that is the whole message – to BE HERE NOW!

When you are HERE & NOW – the ‘miracle’ has happened. To BE HERE NOW – to be in the moment is the real miracle! You just have to BE HERE NOW – ‘isness’ is the only word that you have to implement in your life.

“This isness is the master key to open all the doors of the mysterious existence that surrounds you. Once you have the key, you are the master of your own being. There is nobody above you, there is nobody below you. For the first time you experience a tremendous communion with the whole existence. I call this the only authentic spirituality, the only authentic religiousness.” -Osho

When the master call out – “MOHAN ARE YOU HERE?”

It was to bring MOHAN in the HERE & NOW moment! And the call is so spontaneous that MOHAN also responds spontaneously – “Yes Master – I AM HERE ”!

When you have no job – you are thinking of FUTURE – “When will I have job” – and so you simply go on missing the LIFE which is flowing NOW! Always remember LIFE is flowing NOW – Life is not in the past and not in the future – life is NOW and if you miss NOW then you go on missing life!

And what happens when you get a job – you start thinking now when will I get a promotion – no when will I buy a new home – or a new car – or a new bike – you see the MIND is constantly in the PAST or the FUTURE – the meeting between the MIND and the FUTURE never happens – and when it happens – MEDITATION happens!

You see – Meditation happens only when you are able to bring your MIND in the NOW moment – when you get hold of your monkey mind and compel it to focus on your breathing – on this NOW moment – only then meditation happens – only then your real journey within begins!

A man is worried because he is living in poverty. But the same man starts worrying when he becomes rich – because now the whole cupboard is full of CASH – now how to protect it – where to invest – what more to expand – you see the MIND is always worrying because the nature of the MIND is to worry!

A woman was not getting a marriage proposal – she thought after getting married she will find happiness – but that is never the story! Because even if you get married still you will not be happy – still you will continue to crave – continue to complain because HAPPINESS is NOT Something that is based on WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE OUTSIDE – happiness is simply based on what you have WITHIN!

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”
-Ramana Maharshi

There are men and there are women – who are craving for SEX – they think that after having SEX – they can find happiness. The reality is that there are million and millions out there who have had a lot of sexual pleasures and still if you ask them “Are you happy?” – they answer “Not yet”!

But people have their own ideas and fancies and ideally they should not be stopped because until they experience themselves – they cannot realize the TRUTH!

And that is why this HUMAN LIFE is! To let you experience all that you had wished for – and after going through those experiences if you WAKE UP than that is your GOOD FATE – else the ‘Chakki Pissing’ – the unending cycle of birth and rebirth continues!

People are always crying and whining. And it has absolutely NOTHING do with their SITUATION – remember this. Because irrespective whether they are living in a hut or in a palace – the continue to cry – they continue to live in misery – in ignorance!

There was a man – he must be like me. He lost everything – everything was taken away from him – and yet he was always found in his own bliss – in his own peace. He wandered around the narrow lanes of his village – and people would simply ignore him – they would condemn him – they had started believing that this man is inauspicious for us! You see – this is how this FAKE society is – a successful man has many FATHERS while an unsuccessful man has NONE!

And so the villagers treated him very badly – the man took to alcohol. It happens – many times people succumb to the pressure of the society and they take shelter in that bottle of wine! And so this man also found his new home in that bottle of alcohol. He became a drunkard – he was such a nice man – but now he was dragged into alcoholism! Time went by and soon he became a drunkard – the villager who forced him into alcoholism – now started abusing him for his too much drinking! This is how people are – very very fake – first they will HARM you and then when you start bleeding – they will desert you.

Our man – the young man was also deserted by the villagers and yet he was in his own world – drinking, and dancing and singing and one day – the sky thundered – storm came and the whole village was flooded with water – and the rains continued for 5 consecutive days – heavy rainfall – and children and women started dying – the cattle – the farmland – the crops – everything was devastated – the villagers gathered for prayers – but their prayers were not answered by God – instead much more flooding and more heavy rains started falling – the crying of the children – the moaning of the women – the young man couldn’t bear – looking up in the sky – he said to God “ GOD – if you STOP the RAINS – I will STOP drinking alcohol. That is my promise.”

God smiled. And that moment – that very moment the RAINS STOPPED. The whole village was SAVED – the villagers felt relieved – they thanked the young man – they realized that their prayers were not heard – but the prayers of the young man was heard and was answered by GOD – they all said “You live with us – we will take care of you – we will help you rebuild your life….”

The young man’s eyes were filled with tears – looking at those ignorant villagers – he said “ Now I cannot wait here – now the call has come – now my real journey has began – if with just one word – one promise – God has answered my prayers then imagine how much can he DO for me – how much he can do through ME – and so not only I am leaving drinking but I am also leaving this village forever – I am now set on the greatest journey of my life – the journey within – the journey WITH God!”

And the young man left the village – the villagers never came to know where he went – but they always remembered him as the MAN who saved their village.

Life changes – change is constant – except change everything else changes – always remember this.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER – neither the good time nor the bad times. Even the stars that are thought to be FIXED STARS – even they move – what to say about you or me!

And so if you are in misery and those who have caused you harm are enjoying their life then you don’t have to think much – because change is constant – those who you think are happy – have you ever gone to their bedroom to see if they are really happy? There are men and women who ‘appear’ as happy but in their bedrooms – when there is nobody around them – they cry – they feel restless – they feel totally lost – in deep miseries – suffocated – blocked!

So don’t go on appearances – appearances can misled you – shallow men and women fall for appearances – the wise – the meditative is always focused on what is WITHIN! And only a man who knows himself – who has realized his own self – can ‘SEE’ what is within others – he can quickly see the real YOU – you cannot take him for a ride – you cannot trap him – you cannot fool him.

People fall for FAKE baba or FAKE men and women – because they themselves have never WATCHED their thoughts – they themselves have not being REAL.

TRUTH is HARD – it hurts and I am not here to entertain – I am here only for those few who can listen to the TRUTH – the rest can excuse.

And so unless you become REAL – you cannot find the REAL.

99% people never want to know the REAL – they appear as if they want to know the TRUTH but the reality is that they CANNOT face the TRUTH!

To face the TRUTH – you have to be truthful to yourself – a man who is truthful to himself never fears anybody.

But my experience has shown me that people cannot digest the TRUTH. TRUTH can appear RUDE – because your monkey mind is not willing to FACE the TRUTH – as *it is*!

“I am not rude, but truth has to be said even it is appears to be rude.” – Osho

But the majority is filled with shallow people – they come to seek the truth – but they don’t have the capacity – the heart to absorb the truth – and so I only share the truth when I see that the person can digest the truth.

People want those ‘goody goody – soft entertaining’ masters – who can make them feel good! And that is how people don’t change because the ‘old thoughts and illusions’ – can not help you change – you will remain where you are – you will change – you will transform – you will rise only when you meet the real master.

“Only the pseudo Master gives you solace; the real Master gives you fire. Only the pseudo Master pretends to give you something – knowledge, wisdom, enlightenment. The real Master knows that nothing can be given to you because in the first place all that you need is already there. It is hidden behind a great heap of rubbish; the rubbish has to be taken away. But you have cherished that rubbish very long, you have saved it like a treasure, so when it is being taken away it hurts, it leaves wounds. One wants to escape from a real Master. A thousand and one times one wants to escape from a real Master. A thousand and one times one is frustrated with the real Master, because basically he never fulfills your desires.” – Osho

A real master simply helps you to UNLEARN all that you have learned your whole life!

“It’s not a question of learning much.On the contrary it’s a question of UNLEARNING much.” – Osho

Jesus also asks Nicodemus, the great scholar to first unlearn – drop all his learning and scholarships and his notions – because unless there is SPACE within you – how the REAL penetrate within your being?

But not everybody can understand this not everybody is a Nicodemus, not everybody is Ananda, not everybody is Arjuna!

Once it happened – there was a young man – his name was Rahim. And Rahim became a great saint – a saint of many miracles – one of the greatest Sufi saint that the world had ever known! And when Sufi Saint Rahim was on his deathbed – a close disciple asked “ Master – you have never told us about your Master – your Guru – now that you are dying – now that we will never be able to see you again – and we will never meet someone of your caliber – would you like to share about your master?”

Rahim’s eyes became wet. His eyes were filled with tears – he said “ I met my master after a very long journey – but the master didn’t look at me. There were few people around him – they must be his disciples – I touched his feet but the master ignored me. But I was not willing to go away so soon. I started serving in my own way. I would sweep the floors, clean the walls – also I started cooking in the small kitchen that the monastery had. Days passed and weeks passed by – but the master never looked at me – many would come to seek his blessings and he would talk with all of them but he never talked with me – not even a single word. But I continued – I continued with my love and my devotion towards him – and then one day – one day while I was sweeping the floor – he looked at me – just one look of HIS and my whole being moved – as if there was some celebration happening in my whole being – that one look of his – was enough for me to carry on for the next many months. And after 10 months – again on a beautiful evening – he looked at me and smiled – that smile was so blissful – there was a certain signal for me – but I couldn’t understand – I was naïve. I continued to serve – and again it happened – after 9 months – it happened – the moment came and it came in the most unexpected way – I was sleeping beneath a tree – and the master came – yes – HE came towards me – called me by my name – he said “Rahim – Beta Rahim wake up – it is TIME.” – I woke up and before me the master was standing – I felt as if it was a dream – but then I realized that the master was truly standing before me – I got up – the master touched on my forehead – just a soft touch and said “ Rahim – you have now become a full moon – it is time for you to leave – go ahead and spread the message – message of love. My blessing is with you. I am with you.”

Rahim’s eyes were filled with tears – speechless – he touched the feet of the master with his heart filled with gratitude – the master raised him up and gave him a hug and said “ You have left no word for me to express – you have been truly a gem – a rarest of rare gem. I bless you.”

The disciples of Rahim were moved – they said “ After that what happened?”

Rahim who was now on deathbed said “After that last meeting – I set out on my journey – I travelled to many places – I never met my master – but there was not a single breath of mine in which his name – his remembrance was not present – even now as I share with you the story of my life – HIS name remains in my heart – my breath – – my blood – my veins…..”

Such masters are rare and such disciples are rare! Only three times the master had looked at Rahim – only three times! The first time – HE just looked at Rahim – the second time – HE smiled at Rahim and the last time – HE just touched on Rahim’s forehead! Nothing much is required – no intellectualism and no questions and no frills and fancies – only ONE thing is required and that is a BEAUTIFUL FAITHFUL HEART that is willing to be patient – that has a certain depth of understanding!

Understanding is not taught in any colleges or universities – it comes through your own efforts – your own willingness to jump within and discover your true self.

At the very center of your being – at the very root of your existence is YOUR THOUGHT.

The QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE is totally based on the QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHT.

The reading of the holy scriptures of your faith, the reading of the Shloka and Stotra and Sutras – the meditations – the chanting – the pooja – the affirmations – ALL OF THESE – is simply to help you raise the quality of your THOUGHT! Because it is only when the quality of your though is good – that you will look good – you will be good and you will also do GOOD! The more you focus on reciting the scriptures of God – chanting the name of God – the more you introduce GOD in your life – the more you can upgrade the quality of your THOUGHTS!

“Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special-and then you will be special.” -OSHO

To become special – all you need is to bring GOD in your life – focus on GOD and focus on HIS name – because that is how you can control your thoughts – channelize your thoughts to the proper channel – and once you are set on the ‘path’ – the thoughts start upgrading to superior quality – you become more understanding, more peaceful and more joyous – moreover you start living your life with total ACCEPTANCE and in a LET GO!

People are running all over this world – millions of remedies and thousands of rupees are spend on many stones and magics and what not – but not a single minute is spend to LOOK WITHIN. Not a single minute is spend in OBSERVING YOUR THOUGHT – these kind of people think that by doing some remedy they will get what they seek – and even if they get it – what is the use? If the THOUGHT quality is poor then no matter whether you get a Mercedes or you get 12 bungalows – how is that going to help you to GROW in the true sense?

But the irony is that people don’t even know what is real growth! They think growth is only limited to what mobile brand you use and what car brand you drive and how much of bank balance you have!

Real Growth is the GROWTH WITHIN. How much as an individual you have matured – you have become wise is what real growth is all about – real growth has NOTHING to do with your outer brands and luxuries – real growth has to do with what you are from WITHIN!

And so THOUGHT is very important – in fact the quality of THOUGHT is what goes on shaping your DESTINY! THOUGHT is what decides the quality of your DESTINY!

“Watch your thoughts; they become your words.
Watch your words, they become your actions.
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
-Lao Tzu

Watch your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your mind. Your mind is a traffic of thoughts. Millions of thoughts and more thoughts. Unless you purify the mind – unless you take the control of your mind – there is absolutely NO CHANCE of you progressing in the true sense – if you really want to upgrade the quality of your life – then there s NO SUBSCRIPTION fee – but only one effort that you have to take every day – and that is ‘Meditating every day.’!

Meditate – and even though there are many negative NEECH horrible people around you – still remember the fact that even BUDDHA had to go through these kind of DIRTY people – they all tried to cause much trouble much harm to HIM – but he remained silent. Truth is always silent. Jesus was also asked by the Roman Prefect before he was crucified. The Roman Prefect asked Jesus “What is the TRUTH? Tell me?”

Jesus remain silent. It was a Buddhist silence. Truth can be shared only with that person who has the ability to understand!

Jesus remained silent. Buddha remained silent. Silence is the language of the master! The master is the silence between your two words!

And so come – come you all. Close your eyes and meditate. Focus on your breathing – be in a LET GO – be totally relaxed – and always remember when you meditate – you are NOT alone – God is with you – Master is with you – all you need to do is to let there be a Let Go – a total surrender!

“Man has nothing else to do but surrender-in deep trust, in deep love. Don’t be a doer, just surrender.
Let there be a let-go.”
– Osho

It is a long journey – maybe many more births and rebirths – but that is not the question – the real question is whether you are set on the right path – the path of devotion and love, the path of living your life in total surrender!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
