Venus is NOT blind. Love is NOT blind.\u00a0The Heart is.<\/strong><\/p>

The Heart CANNOT see. The Heart CAN only FEEL.<\/p>

Understand this first and I appeal to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers- the Heart has no eyes to SEE \u2013 the Heart CAN ONLY FEEL, the Heart can only RUN.<\/p>

Heart is NOT your Venus. Venus is a dealer \u2013 Venus is a selfish planet \u2013 a selfish materialistic energy \u2013 whereas the Heart energy is absolutely NOT selfish \u2013 it is simply happy to give, to share.<\/p>

The Heart energy is far above Venus energy \u2013 but the Heart alone cannot help you to make the right decisions in your life.<\/p>

The heart cannot \u2018see\u2019 \u2013 it can only feel \u2013 it can only \u2018run\u2019 \u2013 the heart has \u2018legs\u2019 but it does not have the \u2018eyes\u2019. The head can \u2018see\u2019 \u2013 but the head does not have the \u2018legs\u2019 \u2013 it cannot make you move \u2013 it goes on creating many\u00a0IFs\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0BUTs.<\/strong><\/p>

Neither the Heart, nor the Head has the potential to help you move on with grace. But there is something far beautiful far superior far divine than the Heart and the Head and that is your\u00a0Consciousness<\/strong>.<\/p>

It is your\u00a0ultimate consciousness\u00a0<\/strong>that can help the HEART to\u00a0\u2018see\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>and the HEAD to\u00a0\u2018walk\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0enabling you to make the right decisions in your life!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

People confuse themselves by considering\u00a0Venus\u00a0<\/strong>for the Heart \u2013\u00a0Venus has absolutely nothing to do with the Heart.<\/strong><\/p>

The whole universe is a PLAY OF ENERGIES. GOOD.BAD.POSITIVE.NEGATIVE. You name it \u2013 label it \u2013 define it in your own language \u2013 but it all comes down to the fact that \u2013 EVERYTHING IS ENERGY!<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Astrology is simply the study the understanding the self-realization of the energy that this whole universe is made of!<\/p>

By and by I have come to the realization that the only ENERGY and Vibrations that represent or impact the Heart Energy \u2013 is the energy of the\u00a0Moon.<\/strong><\/p>

The natural natal chart\u2019s 4th house is represented by the Zodia sign \u2013 Cancer whose lord is Moon!<\/p>

Mohan said \u201c Please explain further.\u201d<\/p>

I said \u201c Mohan \u2013 what is it that you love the most?\u201d<\/p>

Mohan had been such a simple man. A man of heart. Always listening more and always being attentive. He was different than the rest. Looking into my eyes he said \u201c My mother. I love her the most\u2026\u201d<\/p>

I said \u201c If I tell you right away that your mother have had a heart attack what will happen to you \u2013 tell me in detail.\u201d<\/p>

Mohan said \u201c My mind would be disturbed. And that\u00a0would affect my heart beat\u2026.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYou see\u2026\u201d I looked into his eyes and said \u201c You got your answer.\u201d<\/p>

The Heart is directly impacted by the\u00a0state of your MIND.<\/strong><\/p>

A young man once said \u201c I came across a beautiful girl in my office and I don\u2019t know what happened but my heart beat started increasing as if my whole heart was going to blast out.\u201d<\/p>

Why this happened? Because when you SEE \u2013 you SEE through the MIND \u2013 the beauty that you SEE is\u00a0the vision of your MIND<\/strong>. That is why many times you all may have come across a handsome man having a very average looking wife or girlfriend. It is his MIND that SEE her beauty \u2013 your MIND or my MIND may see her from a different perspective but his MIND just see her\u00a0as a beautiful woman!<\/strong><\/p>

There was one Hollywood movie \u2013 Shallow Hal \u2013 you all must see it and then you can relate to my answer. The MIND sees and not YOU. YOU are not the MIND but as long as you remain in the tight clutch of the MIND \u2013 you will SEE only that what your MIND sees. And then this MIND goes on impacting your HEART beats \u2013 the feelings \u2013 the heart energy.<\/p>

4th house \u2013 Heart \u2013 ruled by Cancer (Moon).<\/p>

And so\u00a0Heart is Not Venus<\/strong>. HEART is Moon.<\/p>

And now this is deep \u2013 we are going more deep and it is beautiful!<\/p>

A Heart that is still under the rule of the Moon (MIND) many times commits mistakes of\u00a0falling in love with wrong person or a person who may be right \u2013 but isn\u2019t really or wasn\u2019t really the right one for you!\u00a0<\/strong>That is how many heartbreaks happen \u2013 because\u00a0the Heart alone\u00a0<\/strong>cannot help you decide what is right for you \u2013 for your real growth!<\/p>

Yesterday Mohan was telling \u201c I saw a very beautiful woman in my flight.\u201d<\/p>

I asked \u201c So did you fall in love? Were you attracted towards her?<\/p>

Mohan folded his two hands \u2013 bowed and said \u201c Not Again\u2026.I had enough of \u2018miseries\u2019 due to my foolishness in the past\u2026I just shared with you \u2013 that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>

The Heart cannot see. The Mind SEES but what it SEES is\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0always the Truth. The Mind is shallow \u2013 it sends signals to your heart and your heart vibrates. You make decisions\u00a0based on the signals of the Mind. You \u2018think\u2019 it is the heart \u2013 but it is always the MIND!<\/strong><\/p>

The Heart therefore is blind \u2013 it feels but it cannot \u2018see\u2019.<\/p>

The Head is an altogether different game. The head is calculative \u2013 and so the Head can perfectly SEE and evaluate and analyze and do all those things that world defines in one word \u2013 INTELLECTUALISM.<\/p>

But intellectualism cannot help you to MOVE on towards the right direction. Intellectualism cannot help you to make right decisions.<\/p>

Many emails come to me. Few days ago I suggested one woman to follow a simple remedy \u2013 but in return she writes to me a long mail specifying what she is doing is good \u2013 if that is the case then why you mail me asking for a remedy or an advice? Such men and women \u2013 just want to have a stimulation to their MIND \u2013 they are not yet ready to FACE the truth \u2013 the implement the TRUTH shared with them \u2013 and SO I remain silent, unavailable \u2013 unresponsive.<\/p>

And there are many such intellectuals who try to reach me but with more such experiences I have become more and more alert when it comes to choosing to respond.<\/p>

You either will meet people ruled by their HEART.<\/p>

You either will meet people ruled by their HEAD.<\/p>

And let me tell you all \u2013\u00a0that none of them can help you or help themselves<\/strong>\u00a0for the simple reason that they are NOT ABSOLUTE in their form.<\/p>

What is ABSOLUTE is\u00a0CONSCIOUSNESS.<\/strong><\/p>

Consciousness is your Sun. That is why we call the SUN as the EMPEROR of the whole UNIVERSE. The very source of CONSCIOUSNESS is SUN \u2013 the SELF \u2013 the SOUL.<\/p>

Heart is your Moon.<\/p>

Head is your Mercury.<\/p>

And Love is your Venus.<\/p>

Mohan said \u201c How would you define Love?\u201d<\/p>

And this is a significant question. Because the love of Buddha will be totally different than the love that Hitler would define for himself!<\/p>

Buddha\u2019s love will not change even if you do anything to him \u2013 even if you say anything to him. You may go on insulting Buddha \u2013 you may go on offending him and yet the love that flows through his eyes towards you will not change an inch or less!<\/p>

You may find such love \u2013 boring. And this is deep. Because\u00a0the love that you all have known<\/strong>\u00a0is the love that also has\u00a0some hate in it<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0some fight<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0some arguements<\/em>! Your love is still not pure \u2013 it has many colors to it \u2013 that Buddha\u2019s love does not have.<\/p>

Buddha\u2019s love is like that flowing river water \u2013 no matter how many stones come in between- no matter how much dust and dirt \u2013 the river water goes on carrying with it \u2013 goes on flowing without letting any of those disturbance and hurdles affect its continues flow..<\/p>

Buddha\u2019s love is like a river. His love is no more the Venusian love \u2013 his love has risen \u2013 has matured \u2013 has blossomed and flowered into a\u00a0CONSCIOUS LOVE!<\/strong><\/p>

The YOGI always is found in his own bliss, his own joy \u2013 his love is CONSCIOUS LOVE \u2013 and CONSCIOUS LOVE is PURE LOVE!<\/p>

CONSCIOUS LOVE has NO CONDITIONS. It is UNCONDITIONAL. It cannot understand your LOGIC \u2013 it cannot understand your MATHEMATICS \u2013 it cannot understand how expensive a thing is \u2013 MARY MAGDALENE also did not understand \u2013 did NOT bother when she poured the most EXPENSIVE PERFUME on Jesus\u2019s holy feet\u2026.<\/p>

It happened so \u2013 that Marry Magdalene was so much devoted \u2013 so much in love with Jesus that she comes, she bows and she touched His holy feet and Jesus smiled, he looked at her and Mary opens the most expensive perfume bottle and pours the whole perfume on Jesus\u2019s holy feet.<\/p>

She is simply not bothered \u2013 her devotion is far expensive than the perfume that she is pouring and Jesus understands such love \u2013 but Judas could not.<\/p>

Judas must be like those intellectual beings \u2013 who keep emailing me and asking me many questions though in reality they never want to know the REAL ANSWER! Judas must be an intellectual \u2013 a logical man because he opposed Mary\u2019s act of pouring the expensive perfume on Jesus\u2019s feet.<\/p>

Judas says to Jesus \u201c Why you didn\u2019t stop her? You should have stopped her from pouring such an expensive perfume \u2013 the whole town would have been feed by selling such an expensive perfume \u2013 why you denied to stop her?<\/p>

Jesus looked into Judas\u2019s eyes and said \u201c I could not stop her. Unable to express herself \u2013 unable to express her love \u2013 she poured that expensive perfume onmy feet \u2013 that was her way of expressing her love \u2013 I could not stop her. The whole town will be there when I am gone \u2013 you can feed them later also \u2013 but I am here for this moment and she would not want to miss this moment \u2013 and I could not stop her.\u201d<\/p>

Judas may not have understood. He must be like those communists who cannot understand anything but logic. But I have understood Jesus and all those who are coming closer and closer to the state of consciousness can understand Jesus \u2013 Jesus says \u201c I could not stop her \u2013 I just could not.\u201d<\/p>

That is the beauty of pure love and devotion. Devotion is love overflowing.<\/p>

JUDAS is your \u2018HEAD\u2019 \u2013 it just goes on and on and on \u2013 it cannot move \u2013 because it is too much into the calculations, and logical ifs and buts.<\/p>

MARY is your LOVE \u2013 it simply feels \u2013 it does not have any logic \u2013 it simply is happy to give \u2013 happy to share \u2013 happy to BE.<\/p>

JESUS is your CONSCIOUSNESS \u2013 it can SEE your love, it can FEEL your love and it can also MOVE you toward the right direction \u2013 because CONSCIOUSNESS can manage the HEAD and the HEART \u2013 both belong to it!<\/p>

MARY MAGDALENE is PURE LOVE \u2013 and PURE LOVE is Conscious LOVE.<\/p>

BUT\u00a0VENUS with RAHU<\/strong>\u00a0is exact opposite of Conscious Love. Rahu simply block the Conscious love. This conjunction can bestow all the luxuries and pleasure BUT as far as PURITY OF LOVE \u2013 HIGHER LOVE \u2013 CONSCIOUS LOVE is concerned \u2013 this is not what it is made for!<\/p>

VENUS represents the attraction \u2013 the glamour \u2013 the shine.<\/p>

For a woman \u2013 Venus represents the Breasts., Hair, Nails, and overall the shape the curves of the body, the skin texture, the glow of the teeth, the shape of the teeth. Some women teeth itself are very attractive that it adds to their overall beauty making them more appealing.<\/p>

Rahu is like a BOOSTER \u2013 so when RAHU comes with VENUS \u2013 all that comes under VENUS in general for a woman \u2013 is BOOSTED \u2013 empowered! So generally a VENUS RAHU woman is very attractive, and has a very strong SEX APPEAL.<\/p>

Interestingly a VENUS RAHU woman is extremely POSSESSIVE by nature \u2013 and if one gets into a relationship with such a woman than BEWARE \u2013 you cannot easily slip out of her clutches \u2013 once you are \u2019in\u2019 relationship with her!<\/p>

But that is not the case with VENUS KETU. Woman or men with such a placement easily become VICTIM of love relationships \u2013 either they are ditched or they simply take a backseat. VENUS when comes with KETU \u2013 it is like going from a wonderful beach to a barren desert \u2013 all that comes under VENUS is nullified by KETU \u2013 such a woman or man come across sexual issues, love \u2013 breakups \u2013 disappointments in relationships etc.<\/p>

VENUS with Rahu \u2013 the CONSCIOUSNESS to follow ethical moral righteous path in relationships\/marriage is Blocked. Extra marital affairs or multiple relationships is not ruled out.<\/p>

Overall an individual having VENUS RAHU has basically arrived to fulfill his or her DESIRES of having SEXUAL PLEASURES, MATERIAL PLEASURES, DESIRE TO SHINE in this human world \u2013 DESIRE to LIVE HIS or HER LOVE LIFE WITHOUT having any restrictions laid by age old traditions \u2013 and customs.<\/p>

So the more you would try to oppose them and their IDEAS OF LOVE FREE OF ALL REGULATIONS AND CUSTOMS \u2013 the more they would stress on living their life according to their whims and fancies.<\/p>

SO \u2013 if you have a daughter or son with such a placement \u2013 DO NOT behave like a HEADMASTER or INSPECTOR \u2013 let them live their life the way they want to. Parents should simply WATCH \u2013 OBSERVE \u2013 and CONSULT. Following your consultation or not following is their CHOICE. Give them a CHOICE. But don\u2019t give them heavy doses of ETHICS, and MORALS \u2013 they will not understand because the \u2018language\u2019 that they understand is not the language that you speak!<\/p>

LOVE (HEART) with RAHU (VENUS RAHU)<\/p>

LOGIC (HEAD) with RAHU (MERCURY RAHU)<\/p>

In both the cases \u2013 although the HEART and the HEAD belongs to CONSCIOUSNESS \u2013 still in the above two conjunctions \u2013 RAHU \u2013 the SHADOW of IGNORANCE \u2013 the SHADOW OF DESIRES comes in between \u2013 leading to a mess in the matters of LOVE (If it is VENUS RAHU) and mess in the matters of thinking pattern (If it is MERCURY RAHU).<\/p>

But life is not that straight. And astrology is also not that straight.<\/p>

VENUS RAHU may be the most difficult placement from the perspective of spiritual progress. BUT VENUS RAHU certainly is a boon from the perspective of material progress.<\/p>

A woman with VENUS RAHU is attractive, appealing and one just cannot ignore her presence for long.<\/p>

A man with VENUS RAHU also is attractive, is generally popular among women and women generally find him appealing.<\/p>

RAHU says \u201cDO MORE\u201d. Sexual demand is also DO MORE. The more the sex the better. So overall this conjunction generally does NOT disappoint you when it comes to having sexual pleasures \u2013 RAHU ensures that you get as much sex as you want \u2013 until you drop down and realize that \u2013 enough is enough!<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

So it is an evolving process for VENUS RAHU \u2013 this life they will have more and more sex \u2013 multiple relationships, possessiveness towards the love interest \u2013 if a boyfriend \u2013 he will possess his girlfriend the way a snake tightly takes you in a grip. If a girlfriend \u2013 she will be always on her toes to ensure that you do not cheat her and you remain with her and that you are always \u2018reachable\u2019 \u2013 on your phone!<\/p>

And what to say if he is a HUSBAND \u2013 the wife has to entertain his many demands \u2013 especially sexual. And then the probability of extra marital affair is also not ruled out.<\/p>

And if it is WIFE with this placement \u2013 then it is a challenge for the HUSBAND. He need to be not just GOOD \u2013 but great in the Bed. She is too appealing and too demanding \u2013 so either the husband has to be on his toes to meet her unending demands \u2013 else she is prone to getting into an extra marital affair.<\/p>

Nowadays \u2013 somebody told me that a\u00a0new dating site<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has been introduced in India for those who are MARRIED and yet aren\u2019t happy with their partners ! And they say that the site is in high demand!<\/p>

Strange is this world and strange are its ways! You never know what will be a hit \u2013 in this ever changing world of likes and dislikes!<\/p>

Ninth house is the prominent house of DHARMA \u2013 Righteousness. It is the SEAT OF THE GURU. And Venus sitting in this house is like a Sexy Damsel Bhogi Pleasure seeking person sitting in a HERMITAGE or a PIOUS HOLY PLACE \u2013 where the holy scriptures are being read \u2013 where religious rites take place \u2013 where the wise men meet \u2013 where the incense sticks are burned \u2013 YES \u2013 it is the place of CHURCH, the MOSQUE, the MANDIR, the GURUDWARA, the BUDDHIST MONASTERY \u2013 and it is the ABODE OF THE MASTER \u2013 the GURU!<\/p>

And in such a pious holy place \u2013 you have an utterly materialist pleasure seeking person \u2013 VENUS \u2013 and NOT just VENUS \u2013 but you also have RAHU \u2013 the underworld DON \u2013 the crooked \u2013 the person with DARK INTENTIONS.<\/p>

So now tell me \u2013 and I am asking all my genuine followers \u2013 especially those who are closely following my Quora SPACE Blogs \u2013 tell me \u2013 what can you expect of such a placement \u2013 what will happen \u2013 when a Dancer along with a Thief comes to a Temple or a Church or a Mosque? What will be there first reaction?<\/p>

They will bow \u2013 they will enter the Temple \u2013 they will sit quietly \u2013 suddenly the most wanted thief of the town (RAHU) and the most hot sexy damsel of the town (VENUS) \u2013 NOW APPEAR to be PIOUS \u2013 transforming them into POSITIVE beings.<\/p>

Many time people miss to understand or realize that in a TEMPLE- in a CHURCH \u2013 in a MOSQUE \u2013 all KIND OF PEOPLE COME \u2013 in fact SINNERS come more than the RIGHTEOUS. SICK come more than those who are healthy! GOD must be very busy \u2013 because he has so much to take care of \u2013 a smuggler comes, he has to consider them as well \u2013 a dancer, a prostitute, a murderer, a looter \u2013 GOD cannot discriminate \u2013 he has to SEE everyone through the same glasses \u2013 and that is why HE is GOD.<\/p>

In God\u2019s Abode \u2013 Temple, Church or Mosque \u2013 every human being irrespective of what he is \u2013 whether he is a murderer, looter, smuggler or whatever \u2013 they all become or have to become \u2013 have to \u2018appear\u2019 like a GOOD BOY.<\/p>

Similarly \u2013 no matter how VENUS is \u2013 no matter how RAHU is \u2013 as soon as they enter the Holy ABODE of the 9th House \u2013 they have to TAME their pleasure seeking \u2013 DO MORE nature \u2013 and BEHAVE LIKE A GOOD BOY and a GOOD GIRL.<\/p>

Always remember \u2013 it is the HOUSE that impacts the planets and NOT the planets that impact the HOUSE.<\/p>

VENUS and RAHU then start looking GOOD. It is NOT that they don\u2019t want to have sexual pleasures \u2013 it is NOT that they have dropped the DESIRE of having material pleasures \u2013 it is JUST that NOW they are going to do it in a well behaved manner. Now whatever they DO \u2013 they have to ensure that it APPEARS GOOD \u2013 so they \u2018do it\u2019- but they do it cleverly \u2013 marriage, multiple sexual relationships, foreign travels \u2013 everything now comes to them because they are now in the ABODE of the MASTER. The GRACE of the MASTER can transform a stone into an IDOL \u2013 then what to say about VENUS RAHU in 9th!<\/p>

But people don\u2019t get it \u2013 they think and they believe that the NEGATIVE will SPOIL THE POSITIVE \u2013 that the VENUS RAHU in 9th will spoil the 9th HOUSE \u2013 I want to ask \u2013 that why you cannot think positively \u2013 why you cannot believe the MASTER \u2013 have faith in the MASTER \u2013 that when VENUS RAHU are in HIS ABODE \u2013 why can\u2019t the MASTER change them into positive??<\/p>

But the world thinks the other way \u2013 and that is the greatest irony of this human world!<\/p>

Buddha once invited a thief to his hermitage. Ananda strongly opposed. Ananda said \u201c Why you want a thief in this hermitage \u2013 his presence will affect the monks who live in this hermitage.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha smiled and said \u201c Ananda \u2013 how many years have you lived with me \u2013 how many years have you been following me?\u201d<\/p>

Ananda said \u201c It has been 10 years \u2013 that I have been following you Master.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha looked into Ananda\u2019s eyes and said \u201c And you trust the thief and NOT me??\u201d<\/p>

Ananda agreed. The thief was allowed to live in the hermitage. And Buddha would treat the thief so lovingly \u2013 so respectfully \u2013 that the thief started feeling uncomfortable \u2013 he would cry when he was alone in his room. He would say to himself \u2013 the whole world have been condemning me \u2013 abusing me \u2013 treating me like a DIRT \u2013 but this man\u2026..this man\u2026\u2026this man treats me so lovingly \u2013 he gives me so much of respect \u2013 one night I was late to join the dinner and Buddha waited for me \u2013 when I came, he first fed me with his own hands\u2026..and then had his dinner. And just by remembering the goodness of the compassionate master \u2013 the thief\u2019s eyes would become wet \u2013 he could not control his tears\u2026..one day he said to himself \u2013 I am going out of this pious place and looting the palaces, the homes of rich men and women \u2013 IT LOOKS SO BAD \u2013 I must do something about it!<\/p>

You see \u2013 now the thief himself has started to transform\u2026..he goes to Buddha and says \u201c Master \u2013 I have been staying with you for a month or so and you have been showering so much of love so much of respect that NOW I CAN NO MORE DO WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING ALL MY LIFE \u2013 I CAN NO MORE LOOT \u2013 I CAN NO MORE STEAL \u2013 and so I request you to give me some work \u2013 I want to EARN and I DON\u201dT want to STEAL anymore!\u201d<\/p>

Ananda was also present \u2013 listening to the thief\u2019s words \u2013 witnessing the transformation happening within the thief\u2019s inner being \u2013 Ananda could now sense the greatness of Buddha \u2013 he could now remember Buddha\u2019s words \u2013 Buddha had said \u201c And you TRUST the thief and NOT Me??\u201d<\/p>

And this is the whole tragedy of this human world \u2013 you cannot believe that the GOOD can transform the BAD. You cannot ACCEPT the fact that the POSITIVE has the strength to transform the NEGATIVE into POSITIVE!<\/p>

And that is how the thief was transformed into the most pious man that the world had ever known! It is said that when Buddha took his last breath \u2013 if there was anyone who cried the most than that was this man \u2013 who was once a thief!<\/p>

And so VENUS RAHU become positive in the 9th house \u2013 the ABODE OF THE MASTER.<\/p>

The problem is not of the thief \u2013 understand this. It is far easier to transform a thief into an enlightened being \u2013 but it is far difficult to transform logical heads \u2013 intellectual heads into enlightened beings.<\/p>

Thief, murderers, prostitutes, and all those men and women \u2013 whom the world labels as DIRTY or DIRT \u2013 can be transformed much easily because they are simply OUT OF MIND \u2013 but through the wrong door. The master just have to show them the \u2018right door\u2019 and they start transforming much faster than your so called sane people!<\/p>

Sane person is too much into his HEAD \u2013 he comes to the master \u2013 but he comes with many conditions, many logic and intellectual ideas and so he remains where he is. ANANDA also remained where he was \u2013 FORTY years went by \u2013 and ANANDA could not progress in his spiritual journey. FORTY years he lived with BUDDHA \u2013 became HIS Shadow \u2013 but could not attain anything.<\/p>

And ANANDA was totaly frustrated \u2013 he could see many other monks progressing but there was absolutely no progress to his meditation. And when Buddha was on deathbed \u2013 when just a few moments were remaining for the master to take his last breath \u2013 Ananda started crying\u2026\u2026<\/p>

Buddha said \u201c Why are you crying? I am just leaving this human body\u201d<\/p>

Ananda said \u201cI am not crying for you \u2013 I am crying because once you leave me \u2013 who will help me to attain enlightenment? And I know for centuries to come there will be nobody who can be of your stature \u2013 and so I am crying\u2026.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha smiled. Ananda looked at Buddha and said \u201c Why are you smiling?\u201d<\/p>

Buddha said \u201c You remember the day when you had met me for the first time?\u201d<\/p>

Ananda said \u201cYes I do.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAnd what had you said then \u201c asked Buddha<\/p>

Something sparked within Ananda and he remember what an idiot he had been.<\/p>

When he had met Buddha \u2013 he had said \u201c I am your elder cousin brother \u2013 and so before I become your disciple you need to accept my three conditions.\u201d<\/p>

And Buddha had smiled and said \u201c Brother \u2013 tell me what are they?\u201d<\/p>

And Ananda had said \u201c First condition \u2013 I will always be with you \u2013 no matter where you travel, I will be your shadow.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha said \u201cAccepted.\u201d<\/p>

Second condition \u2013 I will be sleeping in your room at your feet \u2013 you should not make me sleep anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha said \u201cAccepted.\u201d<\/p>

Last and the third condition \u201cWhenever I bring anybody to you \u2013 you must NOT reject him or her \u2013 you must address his or her issues.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha said \u201cAccepted.\u201d<\/p>

Ananda could remember all those three conditions and looking at Buddha he said \u201c Yes I remember I had put conditions before becoming your disciple.\u201d<\/p>

Buddha was dying \u2013 but even at that last moment \u2013 Buddha smiled and said \u201cNow with so many conditions \u2013 the subtle EGO of you being my elder brother always remained in your subconscious mind \u2013 you could NOT transcend \u2013 Ananda \u2013 you could not \u2013 and I loved you so much and now to help you attain enlightenment \u2013 First I should die \u2013 because only then the thought of \u2018I am being an elder brother\u2019 will die \u2013 only then the conditions that I had agreed will appear to cease.\u201d<\/p>

And Buddha takes his last breath. And it is said that exactly after 24 hours after Buddha\u2019s death \u2013 Ananda attained enlightenment!<\/p>

CONDITIONS that you lay before the master \u2013 becomes your own hurdle. Always remember this \u2013 never lay conditions \u2013 never expect anything \u2013 if you have come to the master out of love \u2013 then let your love be UNCONDITIONAL and then the flowering takes place \u2013 then everything around you is the same but you are no more the same \u2013 then there is a dance, a song, a beautiful poem. Then life is no more a misery but a garden of bliss.<\/p>

This bliss, this happiness, this joy can be yours \u2013 so come, come you all and meditate. Spend some quality time in meditation. RAHU will go on creating many doubts and queries and confusions in your MIND \u2013 but with your determination \u2013 with your commitment towards meditation \u2013 you CAN turn around the tables to your favor \u2013 to your SELF GROWTH.<\/p>

The first step towards meditation is to start READING the holy scriptures of your faith. You NEED NOT be a RELIGIOUS person \u2013 but reading a holy scripture out of pure DEVOTION and LOVE always helps you to keep your MIND on the track of positivism. But ignorant people are more interested in arguing and claiming that I AM NOT RELIGIOUS \u2013 it is irrelevant whether you are religious or not religious \u2013 what is relevant is that you read any book or scripture that is pure and spiritual by nature. People confuse themselves \u2013 they think that you have to be religious to understand spirituality.<\/p>

IN FACT I have been telling again and again that SPIRITUALITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION. In fact the LESS THE RELIGIOUS YOU ARE the MORE SPIRITUALLY you can progress. RELIGION becomes a hurdle in spiritual growth \u2013 but READING SHLOKAS or SCRIPTURES out of devotion always helps.<\/p>

NEEM KAROLI BABA \u2013 to whom STEVE JOBS (Founder of Apple \/i-phone) had come to meet \u2013 all the way from the US \u2013 says:<\/p>

\u201cEvery sentence of HANUMAN CHALISA is a MAHAMANTRA in itself. One must READ the HANUMAN CHALISA with devotion and love.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Neem Karoli Baba<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

A beautiful picture of Neem Karoli Baba. Salute to His Holiness.<\/p>

And so READING is very important \u2013 it is the first step that makes you ready for meditation. Because READING holy books help you to PURIFY your MIND and when the MIND is on a good positive track \u2013 Meditation becomes much easier than otherwise.<\/p>

It is just like taming a WILD HORSE. FIRST the WILD HORSE need to be calmed \u2013 only then you can mount on it and embark on the journey ahead!<\/p>

The MIND is the WILD HORSE \u2013 you first have to tame it by READING holy Shlokas, scriptures \u2013 once the MIND is tamed \u2013 then through meditation you can MOUNT on it \u2013 and make the MIND your slave \u2013 and once your Mind becomes your Slave than meditation in true sense starts flowering.<\/p>

BUT the first step is READING.<\/p>

But who wants to listen?\u00a0<\/strong>People have their own fancy ideas \u2013 and they continue to live in their own miseries.<\/p>

But some of my followers are changing for good \u2013 and I am happy to see the transformation happening within them. It always happens \u2013 you have to sing your song \u2013 those who can relate \u2013 those who can understand \u2013 those who can resonate will be touched \u2013 will be transformed \u2013 that is how it happens, that is the way of its happening!<\/p>

And so come, come you all and meditate. Your MIND may continue to make you restless \u2013 and question like \u2013 WHEN WILL I GET MARRIED? WHEN WILL I GET A JOB? WHEN WILL I BECOME THIS or THAT? WHEN WILL I GET INTO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP? \u2013 all kind of such questions will keep making you restless \u2013 but you must understand that this is the PLAY OF THE MIND and the MIND IS MONKEY.<\/p>

WHENEVER such questions start bugging you \u2013 you should realize that LIFE is saying \u2013 NOT NOW.<\/p>

WHEN WILL I GET MARRIED? \u2013 Life is saying NOT NOW.<\/p>

WHEN WILL I GET A JOB? \u2013 Life is saying NOT NOW<\/p>

WHEN WILL I BECOME A CEO? Life is saying NOT NOW.<\/p>

Understand the fact that LIFE IS ALWAYS SAYING SOMETHING TO YOU \u2013 but YOU turn a deaf ear \u2013 YOU are not willing to listen and then follows the DEPRESSION, the FRUSTRATION.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Just LISTEN. Understand the signal that LIFE is giving you \u2013 every moment,every minute \u2013 and you will be able to do so only if you are raising the level of your AWARENESS \u2013 CONSCIOUSNESS.<\/p>

Finally it all comes down to CONSCIOUSNESS \u2013 the love that you seek, the intelligence that you seek, the GOD that you seek \u2013 it all comes through the CONSCIOUSNESS \u2013 GOD CONSCIOUSNESS!<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Consciousness comes when you start turning inwards \u2013 when you turn yourself towards Meditation.<\/p>

Your Meditation will flower ONLY when you MEDITATE putting the MIND aside. Some of you are lost because you meditate\u00a0with<\/strong>\u00a0the MIND \u2013 whereas I am encouraging you all to meditate WITHOUT the MIND.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

When you focus on just ONE THOUGHT \u2013 be that an AFFIRMATION or the name of your Holy Lord \u2013 the MIND starts melting \u2013 and in that state of NO MIND \u2013 TRUTH descends like a LIGHT upon you. It is a long journey \u2013 maybe difficult for many \u2013 but always remember \u2013 no matter how long is the journey \u2013 every journey starts with a small step!<\/p>

So instead of putting too much focus on ASTROLOGY and placements of planets in your Birth Chart \u2013 how beautiful and how helpful will it be if you start focusing on the ACTUAL PLANET ENERGIES that are WITHIN YOU \u2013 if you start TURNING INWARD \u2013 if you START MEDITATING WITHOUT BRINGING THE MIND IN BETWEEN \u2013 how beautiful it would be! But nobody wants to listen \u2013 everybody is running behind \u2018BIG TALKS\u2019 \u2013 that is how this world is \u2013 the REAL remains aloof \u2013 only a few , a very few can connect \u2013 and I am happy that among millions and millions of people out there \u2013 a few of you have connected to my sharing \u2013 it is a sign that there is something within you that wants to GROW \u2013 that wants to SING \u2013 wants to DANCE \u2013 wants to spread its WINGS and FLY!<\/p>

Let the spirit within you take the JUMP beyond MIND \u2013 do not entertain the monkey mind \u2013 this is the only life \u2013 this is the only moment \u2013 and you CAN do it \u2013 all you need is the WILLINGNESS to overcome the MIND and realize your SELF.<\/p>

Sit down, close your eyes, focus on your breathing and meditate on the Lord\u2019s holy name.<\/p>

Aum.<\/p>

It is getting dark and it is time to meditate. As long as this answer remains, I believe a few can benefit \u2013 even that is also a part of destiny \u2013 my words will reach and touch only those who are destined to.<\/p>

Amen.<\/p>
