But when Ketu is with Saturn \u2013 it is like a Sanyasi (Monk) \u2013 is with a Politician!<\/p><p>Once it happened\u2014a great mystic (Ketu) heard that one of his friends have become the Prime Minister of the country. They had played together when they were kids, they had spend time together in the same school, same college \u2013 it is just that one became a great mystic and the other became a Politician. And now the Politician had become the Prime Minister. So the great mystic thought that he should visit his old friend and congratulate him. And so the mystic embarked on his long journey\u2014he had to travel through the mountains \u2013 he had to climb down the mountain\u2014it was a very tiresome journey but just for the love of friendship\u2014just because he loved his Politician friend \u2013 he kept walking\u2026..through the mountains, the forests\u2026..towards the Capital\u2026..<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-28b7369b4d628c9fcfe84b155347094c\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Ketu is like this \u2013 once decided \u2013 he can jump into the unknown. He loves, but his love is DETACHED. That is how a great Yogi is \u2013 that is how this great mystic is\u2026.and so he kept walking\u2026..and after many days he reached the Capital. In the capital city, a few people helped him reach the Prime Minister\u2019s residence.<\/p><p>The Prime Minister was getting ready for a couple of meetings. It was election time. And so he had no time to spare! When the great mystic came, he recognized the mystic \u2013 he recognized that his old friend had come to meet him, to congratulate him\u2026.but a Politician is after all a Politician! The head is more, the logic is more, the calculations are more \u2013 and so he said to the great mystic:<\/p><p>\u201cI am happy to see you after such a long time. But I have many appointments lined up \u2013 you know now that I have become the Prime Minister, my schedule has become more busier than it was. Why don\u2019t you come with me, on my way, we can talk and remember our childhood days. I would love if you can come with me.\u201d<\/p><p>The great mystic was such a simple man. With great powers, with great insights, with great understanding and yet he was such a humble man. A tree loaded with fruits is always bending \u2013 always humble! And so the great mystic looking into the eyes of his old friend said: \u201cHow can I come with you? You are the Prime Minister of this country. Look at me, I have come all the way from the Himalayas and you can see my clothes \u2013 they are all in dust, also torn at some places, it would not look good for me to accompany you.\u201d<\/p><p>The Prime Minister \u2013 a seasoned Politician (Saturn) said: \u201cYou don\u2019t worry, I have a very expensive overcoat. I have never used it, it was gifted to me by the Queen of England. I will give you the coat. You just put it on, it will cover your ragged clothes, the dust and everything.\u201d<\/p><p>The coat was given to him.<\/p><p>The Prime Minister\u2019s election campaign began. They went to the first house \u2013 They entered the house. The Prime Minister introduced his friend: \u201cHe is a great mystic. He lives in the mountains. Everything that he has is his own,\u00a0<strong>except the coat \u2014 that is mine<\/strong>.\u201d<br \/>The mystic could not believe it: \u201cWhat kind of stupidity is this?\u201d<br \/>Even the family was shocked, to insult the mystic in such a way.<br \/>Once they were out of the house, the mystic said, \u201cIt is better I do not accompany you. You insulted me.\u00a0<em>What was the need to say that it is your coat? They were not asking.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>The Prime Minister said, \u201cI am sorry, forgive me. And if you don\u2019t come with me to the next appointment, I will think you have not forgiven me.\u201d<\/p><p>The mystic was a simple-heart man. He said, \u201cThen it is okay, I am coming.\u201d<\/p><p>Entering the second house, the prime minister introduced him: \u201cHe is a great mystic who lives in the mountains.\u00a0<strong>Everything is his \u2014 even the coat is his!<\/strong>\u201c<\/p><p>The mystic\u00a0<em>could not believe that this man had any intelligence at all.\u00a0<\/em>Outside the house he simply refused: \u201cI cannot go to your third appointment. This is too much.\u201d<\/p><p>But the politician said, \u201cI have said that the coat is yours!\u201d<\/p><p>The mystic said, \u201cIt is unbelievable how unintelligent a man can be. Your\u00a0<em>assertion, emphasis,\u00a0<\/em>that the coat is mine, creates suspicion: there is something you are hiding.\u00a0<strong><em>What is the need to mention the coat at all?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t see the point that in any introduction coats need to be introduced.\u201d<\/p><p>And the Politician (Prime Minister) said, \u201cForgive me, but if you don\u2019t come to the third appointment I will never forget that I have hurt you. Please, there is only one more appointment, and I will not say that the coat is yours or the coat is mine. Don\u2019t be worried about it.\u201d<\/p><p>The simple mystic, innocent, agreed to go with him. At the third house he introduced the mystic in the same way, \u201cHe is a great mystic from the mountains. All the clothes are his,\u00a0<strong>but as far as the coat is concerned, it is better not to say anything<\/strong>!\u201d<\/p><p>A politician is a politician. A Saturn is a Saturn. Saturn wants credit for every small thing! A mystic is a mystic. A Ketu is a Ketu. Ketu is simply not bothered for any credit \u2013 any name \u2013 any fame \u2013 it is just happy to BE \u2013 happy to offer his love \u2013 unconditionally! The mystic had come all the way \u2013 just to congratulate his friend who had become Prime Minister \u2013 the mystic was such a simple man \u2013 he had absolutely no idea that the man whom he loved \u2013 is not leaving even him \u2013 to get some credit \u2013 to do some politics \u2013 do show people how good he had been to him by offering the expensive coat! The great mystic was not disappointed but when he returned back \u2013 before leaving he said \u201c I had come out of love, but you made even this moment of our coming together \u2013 a \u2018medium\u2019 for your political gains! You kept on bragging on the coat that you offered me to all the people that we visited \u2013 what was the need? You have changed and nobody can now help you. You were talking of that one coat \u2013 let me tell you \u2013 that my Guru can create hundred of Prime Ministers in such coats \u2013 what to say about the coat then! I am going now , but you please become aware. Else you will be soon in trouble.\u201d<\/p><p>And the great mystic left, never ever to come back in this \u2018world of politicians\u2019! He said \u201c I am happy in my own bliss, and the bliss within is so beautiful, so divine, so pure that nothing can stand before it \u2013 it is the ultimate joy of my being \u2013 the love of my Guru, my beloved Master!\u201d<\/p><p>And so he never came back in this world \u2013 he was never seen again.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-36c151b02e195554b5317e6e6bf65be4\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Ketu knows nothing of politics but love. Saturn knows nothing of love but politics. These are two opposite poles \u2013 the mystic is the North Pole, the politician is the South Pole \u2013 and they can never coexist \u2013 Buddha cannot live with Hitler \u2013 and Hitler cannot live with Buddha!<\/p><p>A Politician is not an intelligent person. He may be intellectual \u2013 but certainly not intelligent! A man of heart is intelligent \u2013 he can feel the love of his friend \u2013 he can be more receptive, more understanding \u2013 more willing to go out of his way. An intelligent man is deep in his heart \u2013 he can vibrate to the love \u2013 he can understand you \u2013 he can relate with you \u2013 he can feel love because he thinks less and feels more.<\/p><p>But a intellectual man is trapped in his head \u2013 in his logic \u2013 he cannot feel love \u2013 because he feels less and thinks more. A Politician is always in his head. Logic is his way \u2013 the only way. He knows only calculations \u2013 and \u2018calculations\u2019 has nothing to do with intelligence.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-0ed0fabe6697ee436de40bd4b8078e56\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>The idea of becoming a HERO is very different in a Politician\u2019s dictionary. Adolf Hitler in his Autobiography writes:\u00a0<strong>\u201cIf a Politician wants to be a great hero, a great historical figure, then\u00a0<\/strong><strong><em>the only way<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u00a0is to create a great war. Without war you don\u2019t have heroes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p>And Adolf Hitler is saying the truth. Because if you all look back into the history of this human world \u2013 you will realize that all those Politicians who have fought wars \u2013 great wars have actually become HERO!<\/p><p>Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Nadir shah, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill\u2026 And what have these people got, except that they lived at the time of a great war?<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-ec2ceebc605af29680cdd5d36afe23f3\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Politicians has no mercy. Saturn has no mercy. Saturn is a seasoned politician. Therefore Saturn is a great friend of Mercury \u2013 because Mercury gives strength to its power of judgement. Mercury brings abundance of \u2018LOGIC\u2019 and Saturn loves Logic! Mars is in total contrast \u2013 there is absolute no logic to Mars \u2013 just energy \u2013 pure energy. And so Saturn has a strong dislike towards Mars.<\/p><p>SATURN is highly material by nature. And so Saturn loves VENUS (Bhogi) and Saturn loves Mercury (Logic, Calculative, Pragmatic).<\/p><p>Saturn dislikes all that has NO LOGIC.<\/p><p>MARS has no logic. Just Pure Energy.<\/p><p>KETU has no logic. Just Pure Detachment.<\/p><p>GURU has no logic. Just Pure Righteousness.<\/p><p>SUN has no logic. Just Pure Consciousness.<\/p><p>MOON \u2013 Just Pure Emotional. And Saturn knows nothing of emotions!<\/p><p>Saturn has no emotions. Let this be very clear. Because emotions can become a hurdle when it comes to applying logic and making good decisions and judgments. And so Saturn is very practical and pragmatic. Considers only the facts and figures. That is why in companies- generally those who reach higher positions (authoritative) have a strong Saturn in their birth charts because without Saturn how can they effectively measure the performance of the company? And so generally successive leaders and top executives have a good Saturn placements in their birth charts. Generally you will not find Ketu or Rahu associated with their Saturn by any means.<\/p><p>The so called \u2018EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE\u2019 that now is being discussed in the boardrooms of executives across the Western countries \u2013 happens when SATURN comes in a positive aspect with JUPITER \u2013 than Jupiter\u2019s intelligence drives SATURN in managing emotions intelligently.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-40e3c903add8d492a4f4bd3201a8f05d\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>That is why \u2013 I personally love the conjunction of SATURN + JUPITER. It brings a certain depth, a certain quality to the individual. It is a great combination especially for spiritual progress \u2013 if other placements are favorable.<\/p><p>There are only two planets who are \u2018<strong><em>dealers<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 \u2013 MERCURY and VENUS. Venus is a selfish planet. BHOGI by nature. MATERIAL by nature. These 2 planets bring the best out of Saturn \u2013 bringing the spirit of entrepreneurship and if other aspects support than success in business is guaranteed.<\/p><p>MERCURY and VENUS \u2013 both are the only\u00a0<em>natural<\/em>\u00a0\u2018friends\u2019 of Saturn. A successful businessman always has a positive placement of MERCURY, VENUS AND SATURN! Once this \u2018party\u2019 of 3 favor you \u2013 you become a good \u2018dealer\u2019 \u2013 so one side of your life \u2013 \u2018money\u2019 and \u2018pleasures\u2019 is taken care of. What suffers is then the other side \u2013 the lack of peace within, bliss within, the missing of joy within \u2013 the missing of happiness \u2013 the inability of coming to the state of consciousness!<\/p><p>Understand the fact and I insist to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers \u2013 Saturn CANNOT LET GO. Revenge is impossible to deny. A Saturnian person is revengeful \u2013 he or she \u2013\u00a0<strong>cannot let go<\/strong>. They\u00a0<strong><em>cannot<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0forgive. They<strong><em>\u00a0cannot\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>understand. Only a man who CAN understand can forgive.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-2fbc5c3dc2e4842f72e33e21733fbd87\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Saturn has no space for understanding \u2013 an eye for an eye \u2013 is the only answer that Saturn knows \u2013 and so WAR is impossible to avoid \u2013 WAR becomes the only answer. Revenge becomes the only answer \u2013 Punishment becomes the only answer. And so SATURN is feared.<\/p><p>But everything in the world can be transformed \u2013 GOD\u2019s creation never goes waste IF it comes in contact with something\/someone who can transform it to its benefit \u2013 someone who can uplift it to higher realms of consciousness!<\/p><p>And so now let us see who can transform Saturn\u2019s qualities to attain the higher realms of consciousness!<\/p><p>That is Shri Guru. Jupiter. And the holy conjunction of SATURN + JUPITER.<\/p><p>Now \u2013<\/p><p>Let us see who can transform Saturn\u2019s qualities to attain a well-settled love relationship!<\/p><p>That is the ever-green romantic Venus. The sweet conjunction of SATURN + VENUS.<\/p><p>Let us see who can transform Saturn\u2019s qualities to attain pragmatic higher business goals!<\/p><p>That is logical calculative Mercury. The calculative pragmatic conjunction of SATURN + MERCURY.<\/p><p>SATURN is fine tuned as long as it comes in conjunction with the above 3 planets.<\/p><p>The moment SATURN comes with MARS -Saturn loses its potential to give good results. Somewhere the KARMIC cycle of the native (past births) had NOT been that great. ENERGY is now slowed down. Sexual energy \u2013 sexual bliss \u2013 comes under the \u2018control\u2019 of Saturn. The free flow of energy \u2013 to fight, to voice out, to have a great sexual life (Mar\u2019s energy is required in the actual ACT of SEX) is now damaged. On the other side \u2013 the pragmatism of SATURN is hampered by MARS. So both damage each others\u2019s qualities \u2013 leading to havoc in the native\u2019s life.<\/p><p>The moment SATURN comes with SUN \u2013 Consciousness is blocked. The native commits many mistakes because consciousness is missing, ignorance is more. Therefore his or her life is filled with more tragedies than otherwise. Many losses, many hardships \u2013 this happens because understand the fact \u2013 that this life is the outcome of previous life where the native had committed many acts out of ignorance \u2013 so now God is giving him or her a second chance \u2013 through the hardships, through the sufferings \u2013 if they can realize \u2013 if they can turn inward, if they can embark on the Journey beyond Mind, if they can meditate \u2013 than the next life comes with a better Saturn, a better Sun placement.<\/p><p>The moment SATURN comes with RAHU \u2013 A cursed life. Such a person is cursed. And the source or the reason for this curse \u2013 is DESIRES. Such a person has done certain sinful acts due to (absence of consciousness) in previous life \u2013 just to achieve certain desire \u2013 certain pleasure \u2013 certain goal. But while doing so \u2013 such a person has caused much pain to others \u2013 and those others have cursed him or her \u2013 this curse manifests in the form of SATURN + RAHU. With this combination the person feels lost \u2013 now desires are not fulfilled \u2013 and even if they fulfill \u2013 the \u2018party\u2019 does not long for last! And so such a soul remains unsatisfied \u2013 it is one of the most unholy combination. A very unfortunate state \u2013 it is better that I don\u2019t say much \u2013 because TRUTH is HARD.<\/p><p>The moment SATURN comes with MOON \u2013 A highly political person. Cunning. Pragmatic. Moon is like water \u2013 whatever color you mix in the water \u2013 the water becomes of that color! Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb had this placement \u2013 Krittika Moon with Saturn in Taurus Sign. And history is witness to the fact that how much cunning, cruel and political \u2013 Aurangzeb was!<\/p><p>But it is not just this one placement that makes Aurangzeb a highly cunning and political person \u2013 but there is one more aspect to his chart and that is his Ascendant (Aquarius) Lord \u2013 Saturn is Retrograde.<\/p><p>And I have been mentioning again and again that the moment the Lagna (Ascendant) Lord is seen as Retrograde \u2013 the native by default is a\u00a0<strong><em>crooked person\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 and here Aurangzeb is not only crooked but his Ascendant lord \u2013 Retrograde Saturn is also in conjunction with Moon (Retrograde Saturn + Moon) \u2013 so you all can imagine how terrible this man must have been!<\/p><p>Aurangzeb himself mentions that how sinful he has been throughout his life\u2026.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-7dcf22df813c9cabc88709e31d4dbf0d\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Before his death, Aurangzeb wrote his last letters to his sons. And in one letter he writes:<\/p><p><em>\u201cOld age is arrived: weakness subdues me, and strength has forsaken all my members. I came a stranger into this world, and a stranger I depart. I know nothing of myself, what I am, and for what I am destined.\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>The instant which passed in power, hath left only sorrow behind it.<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0I have not been the guardian and protector of the empire.<\/em><strong><em>\u00a0My valuable time has been passed vainly.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Whole life this man spends in killing millions of innocent people, destroying many temples, killing his own brothers \u2013 imprisoning his own father \u2013 so much of strength he uses \u2013 just to acquire POWER \u2013 and<em>\u00a0look what this man\u00a0<\/em>who rules the whole Indian Subcontinent as\u00a0<strong>Emperor Aurangzeb\u00a0<\/strong>for over 20 years \u2013 writes before his death:<\/p><p>\/\/<strong><em>The instant which passed in power, hath left only sorrow behind it. My valuable time has been passed vainly.\/\/<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>This is how it is. Ignorance leads us to many sinful ACTS (Karma) and then you come back to pay for all those ACTS of ignorance (SIN) that you had committed.<\/p><p>Who knows where would be Aurangzeb now \u2013 maybe still paying for his millions of sins. And who knows where we all be going? Because just like Aurangzeb \u2013 we too commit many acts of ignorance (SIN) \u2013 though they may not be as pronounced as AURANGZEB \u2013 but we have to be careful \u2013 else it would not take much time for us to get lost on the path of AURANGZEB when we are supposed to follow the path of great Kings like Chatrapatti Shivaji, Maharana Pratap!<\/p><p>It is said that when Akbar came to know of the death of his opponent \u2013 Maharana Pratap \u2013 he bowed and said \u201c Rana \u2013 you have won, and I haven\u2019t.\u201d<\/p><p>Such was the valor of the great Rajput King \u2013\u00a0<strong>Maharana Pratap.<\/strong><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-56239d3553c305b96459fb1b1a0fae2b\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Aurangzeb is a good example of SATURN+MOON conjunction.<\/p><p>Saturn is not happy with MOON \u2013 Saturn ensures that MOON comes in its total control \u2013 and so all qualities of SATURN (good\/bad) penetrate into the MOON (MIND) and the person becomes SATURN. Such a person is too cold blooded \u2013 even if angry \u2013 does not express openly.<\/p><p>The other side of this placement is that REPRESSION is seen more than EXPRESSION. And so many times \u2013 if other aspects are not supportive \u2013 then people with this Saturn combination often commit suicide \u2013 are prone to committing suicide.<\/p><p>REPRESSION is something that goes on killing you. You want to have \u2018experiences\u2019 \u2013 sex, love, joy, bliss, peace \u2013 you want all kind of experiences but when you REPRESS your desires, your feelings \u2013 you don\u2019t move ahead \u2013 and unless you move ahead \u2013 SELF-LEARNING is not possible! And when there is absolutely no SELF-LEARNING \u2013 how can you progress in true sense? How can you grow in the real sense?<\/p><p>And so REPRESSION blocks your growth \u2013 never REPRESS your feelings, if you LOVE someone \u2013 step ahead and EXPRESS. Expression is LIFE. Repression is Suicide!<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-a0a2dbd308eb998bc0f8ad323890a56e\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>A person who is eating Non-Veg for many years \u2013 at some point may realize that he must slow down \u2013 and shift his gears to vegetarian food.<\/p><p>A person who have had plenty of sexual experiences and pleasures \u2013 at some point may realize that he should stop monkeying around \u2013 enough is enough \u2013 now it is time to experience something that is far beautiful, far blissful than SEX.<\/p><p>A person who have bee running behind money and accumulating his whole life \u2013 comes to the realization that enough is enough \u2013 now it is time to do something for the nation \u2013 for others \u2013 for those who are still struggling to earn!<\/p><p>So you see \u2013 it is only when you EXPERIENCE \u2013 that you can UNDERSTAND \u2013 and it is only when you understand that you can REALIZE!

I may be condemned by certain pundits, certain intellectual folks \u2013 but who cares \u2013 TRUTH never cares for what is going to happen \u2013 TRUTH is simply happy to share what *is* \u2013 and what is \u2013 *is*! Truth remains while the rest sooner or later gets dissolved with time.<\/p><p>The whole purpose of meditation is to help you to remain in the *is* \u2013 there should be no \u2018was\u2019 and no \u2018will\u2019 \u2013 just \u2018is\u2019 \u2013 because life is in this moment \u2013 and only a man who lives moment to moment is a man of awareness!

And so when SATURN comes in contact with SHRI KETU \u2013 two things can happen:<\/p><ol><li>Either you remain confused \u2013 that leads to material loss<\/li><li>Either you rise above the material world \u2013 and experience the spiritual bliss within<\/li><\/ol><p>Now the first possibility is seen when the other Kundli apsects are such that the native is pure material (BHOGI) by nature. In such a case \u2013 the first possibility is prominently seen \u2013 there is no success \u2013 no stability \u2013 no peace \u2013 no prosperity.<\/p><p>The second possibility is seen when the other Kundli aspects signify a spiritual inclination \u2013 that the native is originally a YOGI \u2013 and spiritual by nature. Then there is a song to it \u2013 a dance \u2013 than such a combination brings an altogether different level of spiritual experiences.<\/p><p>In general the first possibility is seen because the majority is BHOGI by nature. And so this <strong>SATURN KETU conjunction<\/strong> becomes a challenging position for many people. Here KETU nullifies many of SATURN\u2019s positive qualities. Specifically this is definately NOT a good position for authority figures \u2013 and the fact is that with this kind of placement \u2013 rarely does an individual becomes a authority figure or a top executive!<\/p><p>To become a top level executive \u2013 the C-class executive \u2013 it is necessary that SATURN is NOT with Ketu!<\/p><p>A Political leader, a Government Executive or a Top Executive (SATURN) of a private company will find it difficult to make decisions if there is always a SANYASI (KETU) sitting on his head!<\/p><p>Nehru and many other political leaders were finding it very difficult to tackle the political issues with Pakistan \u2013 just because there was always the Mahatama Gandhi (Ketu) sitting on their Head! It was only after the Mahatama left this world that Nehru and his government (Saturn) could make some hard decisions.<\/p><p>SATURN wants POWER. REAL POWER. And KETU is absolutely disinterested in POWER POSITIONS. Tell me \u2013 and I insisit to all of you \u2013 tell me \u2013 how can this \u2018marriage\u2019 work? One has no interest in POWER. And the other is very much interested in POWER.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-e3c4531bd1a81fa0f7768495248a8846\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>And so whenever SATURN KETU come together the desire for POWER is<strong>\u00a0less.<\/strong><\/p><p>And whenever SATURN RAHU come together the desire for POWER is\u00a0<strong>more.<\/strong><\/p><p>See how beautiful the art of astrology can be! Astrology is not alien \u2013 it is very much within us \u2013 it is a play of qualities, of energies, of vibrations, of nature, of relating!<\/p><p>Whenever there is \u2018relating\u2019 \u2013 there is a \u2018spark\u2019 \u2013 the very base of FRIENDSHIP is relating! Arjuna could relate with Krishna. Peter could relate with Jesus. Ananda could relate with Buddha.<\/p><p><strong>Relating<\/strong>\u00a0is beautiful than\u00a0<em>Relationships.<\/em>\u00a0When you are relating -you are simply relating \u2013 there are no expectations \u2013 but in relationships \u2013 there are expectations!<\/p><p>When in relationships \u2013 expectations come and these expectations lead you to the road of many miseries! Because you expect something \u2013 you are dependent \u2013 you become dependent \u2013 there is no independence \u2013 you are locked in a relationship. Relationships closes the door to Freedom. And Love ceases to exist the moment there is no freedom!<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-763cef7c87626aa21ce8512cf864d19a\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>Relationships cannot give you absolute freedom. Relating can!<\/p><p>When it comes to RELATING \u2013 where is the question of dependency? You are simply relating \u2013 resonating and that is beautiful.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-e9e2e195e2dd76ba9ad3d9a08bce6cc0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>When \u2018Relating\u2019 happens between two individuals, between two planets \u2013 then there is a song to it \u2013 music, melody and love is all over!<\/p><p>This kind of \u2018Relating\u2019 does not happen between SATURN and KETU. They are two polarities \u2013 one is Hitler and the other is Buddha! And so comes the complacency.<\/p><p><strong>Complacency means<\/strong>\u00a0a\u00a0<em>feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction<\/em>, often combined with a lack of awareness of pending trouble or controversy. This unawareness comes because of KETU. KETU creates many clouds of confusion in your mind \u2013 and so then what \u2018APPEARS\u2019 seems to be the REAL \u2013 but in reality it is not.<\/p><p>In short\u00a0<strong>the realism of SATURN<\/strong>\u00a0is damaged by the association of KETU.<\/p><p>Whenever KETU comes in contact with a planet \u2013 it brings distortion \u2013 and so what is real \u2013 is never realized!<\/p><p>KETU \u2013 SATURN = No realism. Distortion of reality.<\/p><p>KETU \u2013 MOON = No emotional intelligence. Distortion of emotions. Emotionally unstable.<\/p><p>KETU \u2013 SUN = Unfortunate conjunction. Consciousness is distorted. Person is or spends his life in more ignorance than consciousness.<\/p><p>KETU \u2013 Jupiter = A good conjunction for spiritual progress \u2013 Here Guru channelizes KETU\u2019s distortion \u2013 nature of detachment to the native\u2019s progress.<\/p><p>KETU-VENUS = Damages the prospects of sexual\/marriage prospects. Person suffers through relationships. KETU\u2019s energy is against Venus who is BHOGI \u2013 pleasure seeking.<\/p><p>KETU-Mercury = Logic is less \u2013 hampers the logical ability of the native. But if the native is on spiritual path \u2013 this can be a blessing in disguise \u2013 because in God\u2019s kingdom \u2013 logic has no place \u2013 LOVE has! And where there is NO LOGIC \u2013 LOVE is! So this can be a boon or a curse \u2013 depends on which path the native has been from past birth and rebirths.<\/p><p>Let me tell you all \u2013 KETU is gracious to all those individuals who are set on their spiritual journey! And the same KETU can play havoc for those individual who are simply clinging to the material pleasures \u2013 sex, money, wealth, properties, power.<\/p><p>And that is why the energy of Shri KETU is totally against the energy of RAHU.<\/p><p>RAHU wants SEX. KETU is not interested in SEX. RAHU wants POWER. KETU is disinterested in having POWER. RAHU is highly political. KETU is such a simply being \u2013 just like the great mystic who comes all the way to congratulate his Politician friend.<\/p><p>Every person\u2019s birth chart is either under the realms of RAHU. Or under the influence of Shri KETU. Depends on what \u2018path\u2019 the soul has embarked upon for many lives after lives.<\/p><p>Yesterday somebody was mentioning about the cruelty of the Mughal Emperors \u2013 but even among these cruel Mughal Emperors \u2013 there was one man who was very unique \u2013 different from the rest of his predecessors and successors \u2013 and his name was<strong>\u00a0Jalaludin Akbar.<\/strong><\/p><p>By and by \u2013 it occurs to me that from the Mughal Sultante \u2013 if there was any Emperor who was truly worth of respect than that was Emperor Akbar!<\/p><p>Although a Muslim \u2013\u00a0<strong>Emperor Akbar<\/strong>\u00a0was the only Emperor who went out of his way \u2013 dropped his own religion and established a new religion \u2013\u00a0<strong>Din-I-ilahi<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a religion that had the best teachings and values of all three religions \u2013 Hindu, Muslim and Christianity.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qphs.fs.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-4de5e7f32a5368e1172b3387bd8fdccb\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><p>There is one beautiful incident \u2013 and it is related to the city of\u00a0<strong>Fatehpur Sikhri.\u00a0<\/strong>Akbar had a dream of building a beautiful new city and he spend millions to build Fatehpur Sikhri.
