For Jesus &#8211; Fame is useless. For Buddha &#8211; Fame is a nuisance. But who is willing to listen to the truth? Prophet Muhammed never was interested in Fame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The divine masters rejoice in their Aloneness. Ketu represents Aloneness. Aloneness is NOT behind FAME. It is a different story if FAME follows aloneness &#8211; but ALONENESS never is behind FAME. KETU is never behind Fame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Only a man who can rejoice in ALONENESS can understand LOVE.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>The First Lesson Of Love Is To Learn How To Be Alone.<\/strong>\n<strong>-Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Only a man who find his BLISS in ALONENESS can understand LIFE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Ketu understands Life. A Yogi understands Life &#8211; through Yogic practice &#8211; one can understand life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The divine master &#8211; the real Yogi does Love &#8211; but their love is detached and because it is detached &#8211; it has a certain fragrance, a certain depth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU represents\u00a0Detachment.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Attachment is the strongest block to realization.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>&#8211; Neem Karoli Baba<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The divine masters find their bliss when there is absolute no greed no quest for money &#8211; Ketu represents absolute disinterest in\u00a0Money or Sex or Fame.\nKETU IS SIMPLY HAPPY TO BE &#8211; LIKE A HEALER &#8211; a REFINED KETU (YOGI) continues with his Journey from one place to the other &#8211; from one village to the other &#8211; HE moves but he moves in his own bliss, his own peace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The place\/territory that BUDDHA moved along came to be known as BIHAR. It is an outcome of two words &#8211; BUDDHA &amp; VIHAR &#8211; VIHAR means \u2018going around\u2019 and so the territory or province in which\u00a0Buddha moved around came to be known as BIHAR. All that\u00a0Buddha\u00a0talks about is India, and by India he meant only\u00a0Bihar, because he had never gone anywhere else during his lifetime. BIHAR means TOUR &#8211; during his lifetime, BUDDHA toured only in that area &#8211; that\u2019s why the name became BIHAR. In short &#8211; BIHAR means BUDDHA\u2019s tour area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But the greatest irony is that the people of BIHAR never accepted BUDDHA wholeheartedly &#8211; they condemned him, the Brahmins or the Pandas ridiculed his teachings &#8211; and so BUDDHA spends his whole life in the land of BIHAR &#8211; travelling to many villages and towns of BIHAR &#8211; for 40 years he walked around &#8211; shared such a wealth of wisdom &#8211; so much of love &#8211; so much affection &#8211; how beautiful this man must be &#8211; but that is how this human world is &#8211; when the MASTER is on the physical plane &#8211; the world never realize HIS worth &#8211; and then when his body dies &#8211; when he leaves this human world &#8211; people start realizing &#8211; start building statues and temples and shrines!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">It is the greatest irony of this human world that the state that condemned Buddha was later named after HIM &#8211; in HIS remembrance!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;The whole of Bihar condemned him. Now the name Bihar is because of him because he walked there. Bihar means: where Buddha walks.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>&#8211; Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Where BUDDHA walks! Where KETU walks! And what a beautiful man &#8211; BUDDHA was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The only beautiful man who once walked on this planet &#8211; and his name was &#8211; Gautama Buddha.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Mohan asked \u201c What was so significant about Gautama Buddha that makes HIM so special &#8211; so lovable &#8211; so divine &#8211; so precious than the entire divinity put together?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Looking into Mohan\u2019s eyes &#8211; I said \u201c Buddha was the only one &#8211; a man after many centuries who came to help us all realize that what we seek on the outside &#8211; is WITHIN. Buddha showed us the way &#8211; he was the only one who helped us to realize that RELIGION begins only when you start TURNING INWARD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU exactly is what BUDDHA have been saying all his life &#8211; and that is &#8211; TO TURN INWARD!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And all my close followers and readers are now well aware of the fact that KETU is the WAY &#8211; that only KETU can help you to TURN INWARD &#8211; MEDITATION is possible only when you have the blessings of SHRI KETU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so FAME has nothing to do with KETU &#8211; because KETU is NOT interested in wasting time by focusing on the outside &#8211; KETU is deeply interested in FOCUSING WITHIN. KETU is the wise energy that helps you realize that FAME IS FOOLISH &#8211; FAME cannot help you GROW INSIDE OUT. KETU is that divine energy that lets you realize that FAME, POWER, MONEY, SEX, PLEASURES is NOT the answer that can help you attain the lasting happiness that you seek.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>&#8220;I hope everybody could get rich and famous and will have everything they ever dreamed of, so they will know that it&#8217;s not the answer.&#8221;\n&#8211; Jim Carrey<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-box\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The questioner is looking for FAME. I hope he gets what he wishes for. In fact I hope that all of you get what you wish for. Just so that at the end of your life &#8211;\u00a0IF\u00a0YOU BECOME AWARE &#8211; IF by any chance you start turning inward &#8211; you start meditating &#8211; than you would realize &#8211; that Its Not the Answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But people don\u2019t listen. And they will not because they are destined to go through a certain suite of experiences &#8211; until they WAKE UP &#8211; until they SELF REALIZE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">There was a young man. He must be like Mohan. Always eager to seek the master. Always in search of a master. And so one fine day &#8211; he sets out in search of a real master &#8211; a true master. Just outside his village &#8211; he find an old man sitting beneath a tree. And he comes to the old man and says \u201c I am looking for a real master &#8211; can you tell me to which direction should I move on? Right or Left?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The old man was engrossed in his bliss, engrossed in his meditation &#8211; his eyes look different &#8211; there was a certain grace, and there was so much love in his whole being &#8211; looking at the young man, he smiled and said \u201c Beta &#8211; you go towards the right direction\u2026.and take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The young man thanked the old man and set out on his journey &#8211; journey to search the master &#8211; the real master. And he spent 20 years in searching for the master &#8211; but all he found was FAKE masters &#8211; FAKE Babas &#8211; FAKE Saints &#8211; and so finally with frustration he decided to go back to his village.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">On his way back &#8211; he again came across the same tree &#8211; the same old man &#8211; and the old man was in his own bliss, seated beneath the same tree &#8211; and suddenly the man\u2019s heart moved\u2026..his eyes started flowing with tears &#8211; he could NOW realize that &#8211; THIS OLD MAN &#8211; is my Master &#8211; the man rushed, he was running &#8211; he was crying &#8211; his whole being was shaken &#8211; he ran and ran and he came and he fell upon the old man\u2019s feet and he said \u201c MASTER\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.master\u2026master\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And the Old man raised him up and said \u201c Raghu &#8211; how long you made me wait\u2026.I have been waiting 20 years for you\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Raghu &#8211; was that young man\u2019s name. Raghu said \u201c You know my name\u2026..you know everything than why you NEVER told me when I met you for the very first time and asked you for direction to seek the master??\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The old man &#8211; the divine master smiled and said \u201c One has to REALIZE by HIS own awareness &#8211; it is okay that it took 20 years for you to self realize that I am your Master &#8211; I have been waiting for you &#8211; 20 years you were looking for the master &#8211; and here I was waiting for my Raghu &#8211; and see now you have arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Raghu kissed the hands of the Master and said \u201cBut all those 20 years were wasted\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The Master said \u201c You are wrong. Those 20 years have not been wasted &#8211; those 20 years enabled you to realize what is FAKE &#8211; to realize how shallow this human world is &#8211; those 20 years brought you to a stage where you COULD differentiate between what is REAL and what is NOT &#8211; so how can you say that those 20 years were wasted?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">For everything there is a certain PROCESS through which each one of you has to go through. You may think that the PROCESS was useless &#8211; but GOD knows what HE is doing with your life &#8211; it is through HIS PROCESS that you evolve &#8211; you mature &#8211; you self realize &#8211; this is how it happens- this is the way of its happening!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">It took 20 years for Raghu to realize &#8211; who his master is! It may take 50 years for some of you and it may take just 5 minutes for some of you &#8211; it all depends on your SELF AWARENESS &#8211; the greater the awareness &#8211; the greater is the SELF REALIZATION OF the TRUTH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And KETU brings this SELF REALIZATION.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">RAHU makes you go round and round and round &#8211; until you start coming back to the source &#8211; the master &#8211; until you realize that what you had been seeking &#8211; was always within you &#8211; and not anywhere else!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">RAHU will give you FAME &#8211; and this FAME will then take away the peace, the joy, the bliss away from you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU will pull you away from FAME &#8211; and then once you are in your own secluded place &#8211; you can meditate &#8211; you can focus within &#8211; there is no disturbances &#8211; there is no greed that can distract you &#8211; there are no temptation that can stop you from meditating and rejoicing in your bliss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">FAME needs extrovert nature &#8211; the very basic example of extrovert nature is that of a Journalist. Only when you are loaded with RAHU that you can become a GOOD JOURNALIST. Reporting &#8211; NEWS &#8211; MEDIA &#8211; this all is a perfect place that drives FAME &#8211; and it all comes under the influence of RAHU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">This AGE is of RAHU and so MEDIA is very powerful. JOURNALISTS are more empowered than Policemen! They can cause much more harm to you than anybody &#8211; that is how the MEDIA is powerful &#8211; the POLITICS (SATURN) of today is DRIVEN by the empowered MEDIA (RAHU).<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU is a simple man. He is BUDDHA, He is Jesus, He is Muhammad &#8211; He is Mahavira &#8211; He is all that what MEDITATION is &#8211; He is all that what spirituality is &#8211; and HE is least interested in the affairs of RAHU &#8211; of FAME &#8211; of WEALTH &#8211; of SEX &#8211; of Pleasures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And yet HE is always found to be happy &#8211; in his bliss &#8211; in his eternal joy, in his eternal peace.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>&#8211; Sivananda<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Ketu gives you Peace. KETU gives you Detachment. KETU ENABLES YOU TO HEAL YOURSELF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So KETU has absolutely nothing to do when it comes to bringing Fame and Wealth to you. But KETU has a lot to do when it comes to Healing yourself &#8211; because it is only when you can heal yourself that you can heal Others! Ketu has lot do when it comes to bringing peace to your heart. Joy to your heart. So YES &#8211; KETU has absolutely no role when it comes to giving you Fame and Wealth &#8211; BUT KETU can give you those wonderful experiences and journeys that FAME AND WEALTH CANNOT GIVE YOU!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU is MEDITATION.

Emptiness is Form states the Heart Sutra &#8211; one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is Emptiness &#8211; Nothingness &#8211; and KETU represents the state of Emptiness &#8211; the state of Nothingness.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Knock.

It is only when you become a NOBODY that GOD can come to you &#8211; LOVE can come to you. If you remain &#8211; \u2018I am SOMEBODY\u2019 &#8211; than Love cannot be experienced in its true sense and God cannot be experienced in its true form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">It is only when you DROP your EGO &#8211; you DROP the idea and the illusions that \u2018I AM SOMEBODY\u2019 (Rahu energies) &#8211; that you can truly realize the energy of KETU &#8211; the energy of the divine source.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Evolved souls can benefit themselves through KETU. But souls who are still caught in many temptations &#8211; suffer at the hands of KETU. Because KETU wants you to SLOW DOWN, to SIT, to Meditate, to LET GO,to FORGIVE, to DETACH &#8211; but a common soul cannot understand the\u00a0language of KETU.\u00a0Buddha spends his whole life in helping people to REMEMBER this forgotten language &#8211; the language of meditation &#8211; the language of Ketu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">HIS last word before his DEATH was SAMMASTI &#8211; which means \u201cREMEMBER\u201d.

HIS AMBITION won\u2019t let him REST in PEACE &#8211; until a day came when he died and his body was kept to REST in PEACE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Neither the whole world was conquered, nor the world within was realized. And if anybody would ask me &#8211; than I would say again and again and again that Alexander died as a poor man &#8211; an utterly poor man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">AMBITION is a \u2018BOTTLE\u2019 of POSION but whose Label says \u201cIt is PURE NECTAR\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">This AMBITION won\u2019t let you all rest in peace &#8211; you want to run and run and run behind FAME, POWER, MONEY and when Diogenes asks you to come back &#8211; you all give the same reason that Alexander had given &#8211; he had said \u201c I will come back &#8211; when I am done with my AMBITION &#8211; with my desires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But he never was able to \u2018comeback\u2019 &#8211; and that is what happens with every man and woman who is fired up with Ambition. This Ambition is RAHU. And RAHU ensures that you never settle &#8211; you continue to run and run and run &#8211; until you drop down &#8211; taken to the Graveyard and a nice label is placed on your Grave &#8211; that says \u201cRest in Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And this is the greatest JOKE of human life &#8211; when you are ALIVE &#8211; you are not in Peace &#8211; nobody tells you to take rest &#8211; but when you are gone &#8211; when you are dead &#8211; People place a very nicely decorated label on your grave &#8211; \u2018Rest in Peace.\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The TRUTH is &#8211; the FACT is that AMBITION never ends &#8211; DESIRES never end &#8211; after one ambition is achieved &#8211; another stands before you &#8211; after one desire is fulfilled &#8211; a new desire is born &#8211; and you are always standing in queue &#8211; the queue just never ends!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And the queue will end &#8211; only when the DESIRES will be dropped &#8211; when AMBITION will be curbed &#8211; only then peace is possible, only then joy is possible and this is what KETU is saying &#8211; but a RAHU man or woman cannot understand &#8211; they continue to \u2018debate\u2019 &#8211; and debates don\u2019t bring forth the TRUTH. Meditations do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So come,come you all and let us meditate. Those who are wishing for FAME &#8211; let them have it. Those who are wishing for Money &#8211; let them have it. Those who are wishing for SEXUAL PLEASURES &#8211; let them have it. Those who are wishing for POWER &#8211; let them have it &#8211; AND those who are wishing for NOTHING SPECIFIC but HIS LOVE and GRACE &#8211; only those come with me and sit down and meditate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The world of RAHU operates at one End.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The world of KETU operates at the other End.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Life begins with RAHU &#8211; Birth comes because of RAHU (desires) and Death comes because of KETU &#8211; but THIS DEATH is NOT PHYSICAL DEATH &#8211; this DEATH is of all your illusions that RAHU creates &#8211; it is only when the MASK OF RAHU is dropped that you are REBORN &#8211; but to REBORN &#8211; DEATH is necessary &#8211; this DEATH is the bridge towards the DIVINE TRUTH &#8211; the DIVINE BLISS &#8211; and therefore Jesus says to Nicodemus that to experience TRUTH &#8211; GOD &#8211; LOVE &#8211; you have to REBORN. And so let this be very clear that ENLIGHTENMENT happens through DEATH &#8211; this DEATH is enabled by KETU and if you ask me &#8211; then I will say again and again &#8211; that such a DEATH is beautiful.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It&#8217;s seeing through the facade of pretense. It&#8217;s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>-Adyashanti<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-box\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Physical DEATH cannot bring transformation as much as the DEATH of all your illusions that RAHU creates &#8211; DEATH of your EGO that your MIND feeds on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so such a DEATH comes only to the CHOSEN ONES. Remember &#8211; it is GOD who chooses MEN &#8211; it is the MASTER who chooses the Disciple.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;GOD CHOOSES FIRST, THEN YOU START FEELING A HUNGER FOR HIM&#8230; MEN CAN NOT CHOOSE GOD, IT IS GOD WHO CHOOSES MAN.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>&#8211; OSHO<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-box\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jesus chooses Peter, the fisherman. How beautiful was Peter &#8211; an utterly illiterate man &#8211; and yet when he meets Jesus for the first time &#8211; the very first time and Jesus says \u201c Follow Me &#8211; I will make you the fisher of Men.\u201d &#8211; Peter simply drops everything &#8211; everything is dropped &#8211; no intellectual questions, no logic &#8211; no head &#8211; just the heart &#8211; just the conscious decision and Peter simply decides to Follow Jesus &#8211; and whole life changes &#8211; everything around him remains the same- but Peter the fisherman is no more the same &#8211; he goes on to become one of the most revered Saints of Christian Faith. Peter, the fisherman transforms into Saint Peter &#8211; that is the beauty of FAITH, of PATIENCE, of DEVOTION,of LOVE!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But who wants to listen? Millions and millions of souls are born every moment and every moment millions of them leave the human body &#8211; this cycle of birth and rebirth continues &#8211; and it simply goes on and on and on &#8211; until someday &#8211; you develop the qualities of PETER &#8211; of ARJUNA &#8211; of ANANDA &#8211; of SARIPUTTA &#8211; then then some change is possible &#8211; then the repeating PATTERN of your lives after lives CAN change &#8211; the question is &#8211; are you WILLING TO?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But people are interested in FAME. WEALTH. SEX.MONEY.POWER. Let it be so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU will never interfere. Understand this &#8211; this is significant. KETU will never interfere in your affairs &#8211; the MASTER will never interfere &#8211; the old man never interfered &#8211; he never told RAGHU &#8211; the TRUTH. HE let Raghu go his way to seek the MASTER &#8211; when in reality he himself was his Master! HE never told him the Truth &#8211; he let him self-realize the truth and just for that &#8211; he waited 20 years beneath the same tree! How beautiful &#8211; is the heart of the master &#8211; how can I express &#8211; I am speechless &#8211; I am truly speechless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The GURU &#8211; the master always lets you have your way &#8211; that is the way of the True Master &#8211; the Real Master.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;If you come to doubt, I&#8217;ll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I&#8217;ll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I&#8217;ll show you more love than you&#8217;ve ever known.&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>-His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Fame is short-lived. Wealth is short-lived. But what can be experienced for eternal is the BLISS, the JOY, the PEACE &#8211; WITHIN and yes &#8211; KETU bestows upon you all of this &#8211; that is ETERNAL in nature and NOT Short-lived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Rahu gives all that is short-lived.\nKetu gives all that last for eternal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Understand the difference. Savor the difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Life is short. Active years of life are even more short. It is for you all to decide which way you want to go. The Way of Rahu is open. The Way of Ketu is also open. What you choose is what you become. You are always free to make a CHOICE &#8211; but you are NEVER free from the consequences of the choice that you make!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">My father was a famous man in the late 80s &#8211; but his fame was short lived &#8211; he died when he was 47. He must have had planned many things &#8211; but he wasn\u2019t aware of what is to happen the next moment. Fame is NOT the answer &#8211; people think that FAME is the answer to all miseries &#8211; but let me tell you all &#8211; it is the other way round &#8211; FAME brings many miseries than otherwise &#8211; it is a HARD TRUTH &#8211; very few could resonate with, but I thought why not share the real thing!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so REAL is what we all have to be. The society is FAKE &#8211; filled with a majority of hypocrites &#8211; and the more the REAL you will Be &#8211; the more you will be condemned, banned, ridiculed. Always remember &#8211; Jesus was crucified by this same society &#8211; Muhammed was forced to leave Mecca by this same society &#8211; Buddha was ridiculed and offended by this same society &#8211; Sai Baba was ridiculed and offended by this same society &#8211; Sant Dyaneshwar was outcasted by this same society &#8211; that\u2019s the way of this human world &#8211; if Saints could not get away with it &#8211; what to say about you or me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Many times it happens &#8211; people come, then they say \u201c I understand everything that you are saying &#8211; BUT\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">You see &#8211; this BUT never goes away &#8211; and I can understand this BUTs &#8211; the desire is there &#8211; the ambition is always there &#8211; and that is perfectly fine. After all this human birth is because of certain desires, certain ambitions &#8211; I always tell \u201c Do whatever your heart wish to as long as you don\u2019t cause harm to anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Follow your Hurt &#8211; attain all the Fame and whatever you all have wished for births after births &#8211; until a days comes, until a moment comes &#8211; when there will be NO Buts &#8211; when you will simply be able to say \u201c I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">That will be the moment of your transformation &#8211; that will be the day when you all will be REBORN &#8211; that will be the day when the flowering will happen &#8211; when the blossoming of your inner being will begin &#8211; God will wait for that day &#8211; the master will wait for that &#8211; the old man waited for 20 long years &#8211; the master can always wait &#8211; there is absolutely No rush &#8211; you all can have your RIDE &#8211; until you self-realize &#8211; what is TRULY beneficial for your GROWTH &#8211; until you all self-realize &#8211; WHAT is REAL GROWTH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The whole story of human life is between the two ends of RAHU and KETU &#8211; the journey of birth begins from RAHU (Focusing outside) &#8211; and should move towards KETU (Focusing Within)- that is the true sign of progress &#8211; that is the true mark of REAL GROWTH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jesus says &#8211; Nobody is Late &#8211; even if you arrive in the \u2018evening\u2019 &#8211; you will be provided with the same wages (blessings). Even if you are too much caught into the desires (Rahu) AND you have realized lately your foolishness &#8211; and you have started turning inwards &#8211; overcoming the desires &#8211; the temptations &#8211; then you are also not late &#8211; you are welcome &#8211; you will be provided with the same Grace &#8211; the same Blessings. In the KINGDOM OF GOD &#8211; there is absolutely no discrimination between who is Early and who is Late &#8211; as long as you come &#8211; as long as you start moving towards the Direction of Ketu &#8211; turning inwards &#8211; meditating and taking\u00a0efforts\u00a0to realize your SELF.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;No one succeeds without effort&#8230; Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance&#8221;<\/strong>\n<strong>&#8211; RAMANA MAHARSHI<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">KETU encourages you to keep going WITHIN &#8211; to meditate &#8211; to LOOK WITHIN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">If God comes and ASKS \u201cWhat you want &#8211; RAHU or KETU?
