KETU\u00a0is\u00a0ZERO.\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0SHUNYA\u00a0(\u0936\u0941\u0928\u094d\u092f\u200b) –\u00a0Ketu\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0Nobody. And yet\u00a0Ketu\u00a0can get you to Everbody.<\/p>\n\n

“When you become SHUNYA, when you become absolutely NOTHING, a NOTHINGNESS, a NOBODY-then you have attained.”<\/strong>\n-Buddha<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And it\u00a0is\u00a0only when you ATTAIN – when you SELF REALIZE – when you are Enlightened that you can HEAL! And so I have been saying again and again – that at the ROOT of HEALING POWER –\u00a0is\u00a0the most benevolent\u00a0KETU\u00a0– one who has NO HEAD – and only one who has NO HEAD can JUMP – and only one who can JUMP – can ATTAIN – can experience the BEYOND.<\/p>\n\n

“They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!”<\/strong>\n-Rajneesh<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n

Such men are very few. One in\u00a0a\u00a0million. People want to know many things – they talk\u00a0a\u00a0lot – so much of \u201cknowledge\u2019 they exhibit – and yet when it comes to taking the \u2018JUMP\u2019 – they start shaking – they start raising many doubts – and so ARJUNA\u00a0is\u00a0one in\u00a0a\u00a0million. ANANDA\u00a0is\u00a0one in\u00a0a\u00a0million. PETER\u00a0is\u00a0one in\u00a0a\u00a0million. They JUMPED – they simply jumped WITHOUT thinking – when you THINK – the MIND\u00a0is\u00a0in PLAY – the HEAD\u00a0is\u00a0in play – and the MIND won\u2019t let you JUMP – ARJUNA, ANANDA, PETER – these were great souls who had overcome the monkey mind – and so when KRISHNA says to ARJUNA – \u201cSHOOT – SHOOT at that old man – BHISHMA- follow your DHARMA\u201d<\/p>\n

ARJUNA simply shoots – he simply shoots his ARROW at that old man who loved him the most – whom he also loves the most – BHISHMA! But when the MASTER says \u201cSHOOT\u201d – ARJUNA simply SHOOTS – that\u00a0is\u00a0the stage of NO MIND – that\u00a0is\u00a0the most beautiful stage of\u00a0KETU!<\/p>\n

When Jesus meets Peter, the fisherman for the VERY FIRST TIME and says \u201c Peter – follow me – I will make you the fisher of men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter, the fisherman simply drops everything and starts following JESUS. He\u00a0is\u00a0not even aware of who JESUS\u00a0is! He\u00a0is\u00a0an illiterate man – and yet he could SEE that this man\u00a0is\u00a0something else – that the words of this young man are so deep – his eyes, there\u00a0is\u00a0so much GRACE – that Peter simply could not even THINK – he simply \u2018JUMPS\u2019 into the unknown – and that\u00a0is\u00a0KETU\u00a0– that\u00a0is\u00a0COURAGE – it\u00a0is\u00a0only through the State of NO MIND-\u00a0KETU\u00a0– you can become COURAGEOUS – Peter indeed was the most COURAGEOUS man and the same PETER, the fisherman goes on the become one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus and later\u00a0is\u00a0revered as Saint Peter in the Christian Faith!<\/p>\n

Ananda – what an innocent man he was. Yes – he had some ignorance – but he simply was so much devoted to BUDDHA that he followed HIM for 40 years – like\u00a0a\u00a0shadow – he remained with BUDDHA – Ananda becomes the Shadow of Buddha – Ananda was also\u00a0a\u00a0PRINCE – he belonged to\u00a0a\u00a0ROYAL family – he was the elder cousin brother of Buddha – and yet he JUMPED – he left everything behind and came in search of his younger brother – whom the world had been addressing as the BUDDHA! And Ananda loved Buddha – but his love had become possessive. And the moment your LOVE becomes POSSESSIVE –\u00a0KETU\u00a0takes\u00a0a\u00a0backseat – and when\u00a0KETU\u00a0(DETACHMENT) takes\u00a0a\u00a0backseat – your spiritual progress – your enlightenment\u00a0is\u00a0blocked!<\/p>\n

And that\u00a0is\u00a0what happened with ANANDA. He spend 40 years with BUDDHA and yet he could NOT attain.<\/p>\n

And now when BUDDHA was dying – when BUDDHA was about leave his human body – Anand started crying – he could not control himself – he broke out with such\u00a0a\u00a0cry that Buddha noticed it and said \u201c Ananda why you cry?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ananda says “I am not crying because you are leaving – I am crying because once you are gone – there will\u00a0nobody\u00a0of your caliber for centuries to come and I am still not enlightened. Those who came after me – have been enlightened with your Grace – but I…..haven’t yet been enlightened….why?”<\/p>\n

Buddha said “Ananda – when you met me for the first time, you laid 3 conditions – those conditions became\u00a0a\u00a0hurdle between you and your attainment.”<\/p>\n

Ananda remembered those 3 conditions – those 3 conditions were to help him stay with Buddha and he stayed for 40 years – but no luck, enlightenment never happened to him. Ananda asked ” Now what?” Buddha said ” Now I have to die first – only then you will be enlightened – with my death – all your conditions that I had accepted will cease – you will then attain.”<\/p>\n

And it\u00a0is\u00a0said that after Buddha died, Ananda attained enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Conditions block you – when you love – let there be NO Conditions.<\/p>\n\n

“The word – PROGRESS is the basic disease of the modern age. What is the need? All that can be enjoyed is available, all that you need to be happy is here and Now. But you create CONDITIONS and you say that unless these conditions are fulfilled you cannot be happy as if by being happy you are going to oblige the whole universe.” – Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

KETU\u00a0has NO CONDITIONS. Because\u00a0KETU\u00a0operates WITHOUT HEAD – WITHOUT MIND.<\/p>\n

And so\u00a0a\u00a0REAL DISCIPLE –\u00a0a\u00a0REAL FOLLOWER when follows the MASTER – he would never remember the BLOWS of the Master – because there\u00a0is\u00a0NO HEAD – all that there\u00a0is\u00a0–\u00a0is\u00a0the HEART and the HEART can only FEEL – the HEART cannot HOLD on to anything – in true sense – the HEART\u00a0is\u00a0DETACHED by nature – what makes you ATTACHED\u00a0is\u00a0your MIND – and therefore the MIND\u00a0is\u00a0always against\u00a0KETU\u00a0– because it knows – that the energy of\u00a0KETU\u00a0can eliminate all the illusions that the MIND goes on creating.<\/p>\n

It happened once, Hassan and\u00a0a\u00a0few Sufi Mystics were walking through the forest and they all met Rabiya – the Great Sufi Saint. Expressing their love for the master – Hassan says “None\u00a0is\u00a0sincere in his claims to the Love of God unless he patiently endure the blows of His Lord.” Rabiya smiles and says ” This smells egoism.” Sakik says ” None\u00a0is\u00a0sincere in his claim unless he give thanks for the blows of the Lord.” Rabiya again smiles and says ” This must be still bettered. Still some ego\u00a0is\u00a0there.” Malik says ” None\u00a0is\u00a0sincere in his claim unless he delight in the blows of his Lord.” Rabiya again smiled and said “Good but still needs to be improved.\u00a0A\u00a0very subtle ego\u00a0is\u00a0still hiding like\u00a0a\u00a0shadow.” Then they all said ” Rabiya – you yourself say – you guide us.” And Rabiya, one of the greatest Sufi Saint – she says ” None\u00a0is\u00a0sincere in his claim UNLESS he FORGETS the blows in beholding his lord.” How beautiful\u00a0is\u00a0this. They loved the master – but they could not FORGOT the blows – here Rabiya\u00a0is\u00a0saying – when love\u00a0is\u00a0total – the blows cannot be remembered. So where\u00a0is\u00a0the question of being delighted to receive the Master\u2019s blows? or thankful or tolerating the blows – the Blows simply does not exist –\u00a0a\u00a0devoted disciple forgets the blows in beholding his compassionate Master!<\/p>\n\n

“Even when the Master hits, you feel tremendously happy. And the Master has to hit to make openings in your being. You have grown a hard crust around yourself, that was necessary for survival; otherwise you would not have survived at all. You had to protect yourself against so many dangerous situations in life. When you come to a MAster you have to drop that armor. And the aromor may have gone so deep that you cannot drop it, then the Master has to hit you, the Master has to use a sledge-hammer! He has to cut many chunks of your being because they are NOT really part of you. And when those chunks are removed and cut, it is painful, it hurts – but only then the Master can pour himself into you.” – Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Master can pour himself into you – only WHEN you have NO MIND.Only when you have overcome the MIND – only when your MIND\u00a0is\u00a0merged into your HEART and there\u00a0is\u00a0NO MIND – but tremendous intelligence!<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0therefore brings Intelligence – but this intelligence\u00a0is\u00a0of very deep very unique and very rebellious by nature! TRUTH has always been rebellious. JESUS was rebellious – he goes to the PAGAN TEMPLES and asks the people to stop DOING BUSINESS on the name of these PAGAN GOD IDOLS. Mohammed was rebellious – He too went against the BUSINESS OF RELIGION and the Corruption that was happening on the name of GOD and IDOLS – BUDDHA too was rebellious – he too went against the Corruption that was happening on the name of religion. INTELLIGENCE\u00a0is\u00a0always rebellious by nature – the SOCIETY cannot FACE the intelligent – the SOCIETY always\u00a0is\u00a0afraid of an intelligent Man or an intelligent Woman. The SOCIETY\u00a0is\u00a0always afraid of\u00a0KETU\u00a0– because\u00a0KETU\u00a0brings Intelligence and Intelligence can unmask the FAKE and bring forth the TRUTHS!<\/p>\n\n

Intelligence is dangerous.<\/strong>\nIntelligence means you will start thinking on your own; you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures; you will believe only in your own experience.<\/strong>\n-Rajneesh<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Intelligence\u00a0is\u00a0of the heart consciousness (also addressed as God consciousness in the West or Krishna Consciousness in the East) . NEVER confuse Intelligence with Intellectualism.<\/p>\n

Intellectualism\u00a0is\u00a0of the HEAD – Mercury.<\/p>\n

Intelligence\u00a0is\u00a0of the Consciousness – SUN. And the way towards CONSCIOUSNESS\u00a0is\u00a0paved by\u00a0KETU! And therefore it\u00a0is\u00a0the SIGN of LEO – where\u00a0KETU\u00a0presides like an EMPEROR – by taking the lordship of the NAKSHATRA – MAGHA!<\/p>\n

How beautiful\u00a0is\u00a0all this and how beautiful it can be – there\u00a0is\u00a0no limit – there never was! And so LEO the sign of SUN (Consciousness) has its FIRST NAKSHATRA as MAGHA ruled by Sri\u00a0KETU! And therefore SUN feels HOME in the NAKSHATRA of MAGHA – SUN\u00a0is\u00a0extremely comfortable in the ROYAL ABODE of\u00a0KETU\u00a0(MAGHA Nakshatra)!<\/p>\n

And therefore MAGHA\u00a0is\u00a0called the ROYAL ABODE – ROYALITY\u00a0is\u00a0closely associated with\u00a0KETU\u00a0– but the ROYALITY – the KING – the RAJ YOG that\u00a0KETU\u00a0brings\u00a0is\u00a0something beyond this material world – you become the KING of KINGS – but you roam NAKED – and yet you become KING of KINGS – you become\u00a0a\u00a0Diogenes – he had NOTHING and yet he had THAT – which Emperors and Kings never had – he was one of the greatest YOGI of the WEST –\u00a0a\u00a0great SAINT – now tell me – when you say \u2018I am KING\u2019 – there should be absolute FREEDOM – no worries – no tensions – no obstructions – no obsessions – no possessions – such\u00a0a\u00a0FREEDOM – neither ALEXANDER, the GREAT had and nor any EMPERORS who have been through this human world! SUCH\u00a0A\u00a0FREEDOM only JESUS had,MOHAMMED had, MAHAVIRA had, KRISHNA had, BUDDHA had – only\u00a0a\u00a0YOGI could experience TOTAL FREEDOM and only that man or woman who can experience TOTAL FREEDOM\u00a0is\u00a0the REAL KING –\u00a0KETU\u00a0enables you to reach the state of TOTAL FREEDOM – and therefore the NAKSHATRA OF MAGHA\u00a0is\u00a0addressed as the ROYAL ABODE – the REAL KING\u2019s SEAT – because it\u00a0is\u00a0here where you become\u00a0a\u00a0great YOGI – or you get the CAPACITY to become\u00a0a\u00a0great YOGI.<\/p>\n

Yogi PARAMHANSA YOGANANADA had LEO Ascendant with MAGHA Nakshatra rising (KETU). And what\u00a0a\u00a0great Yogi he was – what\u00a0a\u00a0beautiful Autobiography he wrote – that it moved the hearts of millions across the globe – my salute to His Holiness Paramhansa Yogananda.<\/p>\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SUN feels home in the NAKSHATRA of\u00a0KETU\u00a0– MAGHA.<\/p>\n

CONSCIOUSNESS feels home in the ABODE of\u00a0KETU.<\/p>\n

The Sign of LEO therefore\u00a0is\u00a0NOT in its entirety BENEFICIAL for the SUN. The SUN feels home – the SUN has all the abilities to expand your consciousness – ONLY as long as it\u00a0is\u00a0placed in the MAGHA Nakshatra of the SUN SIGN.<\/p>\n

The moment SUN moves to PURVA PHALGUNI – it starts becoming uncomfortable – and therefore I meet many who wonder that why SUN in-spite of being in LEO sign – does NOT favor in its totality. PURVA PHALGUNI\u00a0is\u00a0VENUS Nakshatra and SUN energy\u00a0is\u00a0in contrast to VENUS. SUN wants to UPLIFT you – and VENUS wants you to remain ATTACHED to material PLEASURES – how can this MARRIAGE work?<\/p>\n

And so SUN in LEO works beautifully – helping you to grow spiritually – as long as it\u00a0is\u00a0in the NAKSHATRA of MAGHA. Interestingly many ROYAL FIGURES are also born on MAGHA – LEO ASCENDANT – when\u00a0KETU\u00a0connects material planets – ROYALITY comes – when\u00a0KETU\u00a0connects with spiritual planets – SPIRITUALITY of HIGHEST NATURE comes – in both cases – you remains in the ABODE OF\u00a0KETU\u00a0– MAGHA – the ROYAL ABODE – that\u2019s why the ancient seers have HIGH REGARDS for MAGHA – the nakshatra of\u00a0KETU.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0SHUNYA.\u00a0ZERO. The WEST mentions the state of\u00a0SHUNYA\u00a0as EMPTINESS. NOTHING.\u00a0NOBODY.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0is\u00a0good to be\u00a0a\u00a0Nobody. Because LOVE happens only when you are in true sense\u00a0a\u00a0NOBODY! If you remain \u201cI am somebody” (EGO)- Love\u00a0is\u00a0not possible. God\u00a0is\u00a0not possible. So it necessary to self realize the significance of being\u00a0a\u00a0nobody\u00a0– the significance of NOTHINGNESS, the significance of EMPTINESS. And only that man and woman can understand this significance – who\u00a0is\u00a0meditating, who\u00a0is\u00a0coming closer and closer to the Self – the consciousness.<\/p>\n

Such\u00a0a\u00a0man, such\u00a0a\u00a0woman can relate to\u00a0KETU\u00a0– can listen to what it\u00a0is\u00a0saying, can follow its directions.<\/p>\n

The label on the DOOR says – To open the door – PULL. But you are Pushing and Pushing and Pushing – how will the door open? WHEN JOB\u00a0is\u00a0lost – you continue to hit the same spot again and again – WHEN LIFE wants you to explore other opportunities. All your life you have been PUSHING the DOOR – because you know only one way – you have never tried to explore the other way – the way to PULL open the DOOR.<\/p>\n

And this\u00a0is\u00a0deep and this\u00a0is\u00a0something every individual should meditate upon- and this happens only when you have the support of\u00a0Ketu. Only then you can turn inward – only then you can EXPLORE the many possibilities of OPENING the DOOR.<\/p>\n

GOD has been knocking on your DOOR – many times – but what stops you from opening the door\u00a0is\u00a0your belief – you believe that there\u00a0is\u00a0only one way to open the door – it\u00a0is\u00a0your belief that comes in between your EXPERIENCE – and the IRONY of this human world\u00a0is\u00a0that people go by BELIEF and NOT by Experiences!<\/p>\n

Whenever\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0specific Planet\u2019s nakshatra-\u00a0Ketu\u00a0brings NOTHINGNESS to the matters of that planet. Through this NOTHINGNESS-\u00a0Ketu\u00a0wants you to PULL the Door and walk out – experience the ultimate FREEDOM from those matters that are ruled by that planet. DETACHED.<\/p>\n

One day Mohan came and said \u201c Addittya, how come I never had\u00a0a\u00a0chance to meet my mother.When I was 4, she left me – and then I just know that somewhere she\u00a0is\u00a0ALIVE – but neither she contacted me and nor I – so how do you see this happening. Please help me with your insights on this strange happening of my life – the absence – total absence of my MOTHER in my life?<\/p>\n

I said \u201c Mohan – nowadays you have started to think\u00a0a\u00a0lot – that\u00a0is\u00a0not good. Thoughts become hurdles to your progress in meditation. So beware.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohan said \u201c But this has been troubling me for many days and months and so your answer will help me to understand and to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sometimes you have to answer – Mohan was\u00a0a\u00a0close follower – with\u00a0a\u00a0strong focus on meditation. Not answering him would have blocked his progress in meditation and so I said \u201c Mohan, look at your birth chart – open it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohan opened his birth chart and I said \u201c Look where your MOON is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohan said \u201cMoon\u00a0is\u00a0in the SIXTH house. But I have many friends who have MOON in the sixth and still they have Mother – there\u00a0is\u00a0no absence of Mother in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

I smiled and said \u201c Look further\u2026KETU\u00a0is\u00a0in which Nakshatra?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohan said \u201c ROHINI.\u201d<\/p>\n

I asked \u201c Who\u00a0is\u00a0the lord of ROHINI Nakshatra?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohan said \u201c MOON\u201d<\/p>\n

I said \u201c Moon rules the matters related to MOTHER.\u00a0KETU\u00a0in MOON\u2019s Nakshatra –\u00a0is\u00a0bringing SHUNYATA (EMPTINESS) in the matters of MOTHER.<\/p>\n

Further your MOON\u00a0is\u00a0also in conjunction with\u00a0KETU\u00a0– so again the EMPTINESS related to MOTHER – becomes severe. So in the dictionary of your life – the word MOTHER\u00a0is\u00a0absent and will remain absent. So now LET GO – do not get stuck in the matters of MOTHER because\u00a0KETU\u00a0wants to liberate you – it\u00a0is\u00a0the way of\u00a0KETU\u00a0telling you – that MOVE ON – just the way when the doctor pricks the \u2018baby\u2019 inside the womb of\u00a0a\u00a0pregnant woman – COMES OUT – LIBERATED – FREED – similarly\u00a0KETU\u00a0in this life want you to MOVE ON – and NOT get attached to the matter related to MOTHER. Now get on with your life and focus on your MEDITATION.<\/p>\n\n

“Kabir will suggest meditation, Buddha has suggested meditation, I suggest meditation. Meditation is a different approach: it has nothing to do with God, it has something to do with you, with your mind. It has to create a silence within you, a deep utter silence. In that utter silence you will start feeling the presence of God.”<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0MEDITATION. And MEDITATION\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0LET GO. Understand this – and I specifically appeal to all my close followers and readers – this\u00a0is\u00a0very deep.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0Meditation. And Meditation\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0LET GO – you will come to the state of\u00a0SHUNYA\u00a0– EMPTINESS only when you are able to LET GO – and\u00a0KETU\u00a0– the energy of\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0precisely helping you to LET GO – Mohan was able to LET GO of his attachment with his MOTHER – but not everybody\u00a0is\u00a0like MOHAN – they come with questions – but they are NOT willing to or able to FACE the TRUTH – listen to what\u00a0KETU\u00a0has to say – to what LIFE has to say!<\/p>\n

Understand the FACT – that the ABSENCE that\u00a0KETU\u00a0brings – the SHUNYATA (EMPTINESS) that\u00a0KETU\u00a0brings\u00a0is\u00a0simply to AWAKE you and help you to MOVE ON – it\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0clear signal – that you better remain DETACHED from the matters that are connected with\u00a0KETU\u00a0– BECAUSE\u00a0KETU\u00a0– the MASTER knows that unless you become DETACHED from these matters – you will NOT evolve – you will NOT mature – you will NOT GROW in the true sense!<\/p>\n

When\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0positive nakshatra- it simply empowers\u00a0KETU\u00a0– and that\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0progressive sign for the native.\u00a0Ketu\u00a0LOVES Jupiter – he understands that the Master can channelize him in the most effective way. In fact\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0made for JUPITER – the Master.\u00a0Ketu\u00a0is\u00a0just the way HANUMAN\u00a0is\u00a0– always devoted to the Master. Always!<\/p>\n

And so when\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0in VISHAKA NAKSHATRA which\u00a0is\u00a0ruled by JUPITER –\u00a0KETU\u00a0feels home. Feels comfortable. Had it been any other planet Nakshatra –\u00a0Ketu\u00a0would have simply moved its bulldozer on those planet\u2019s and the matters they bring along. But in Vishaka Nakshatra –\u00a0KETU\u00a0gets\u00a0a\u00a0certain depth – if Jupiter\u00a0is\u00a0well placed than this placement can help in spiritual progress of the native.<\/p>\n

Always realize the fact that YOU (and when I say YOU – it\u00a0is\u00a0meant for not just the questioner but to all my followers and readers) – always realize the fact that YOU can connect with the MASTER – only when there\u00a0is\u00a0NO HEAD (KETU)!<\/p>\n

You have to ask yourself – what you are?\u00a0A\u00a0student or\u00a0a\u00a0disciple?<\/p>\n

The relation of\u00a0a\u00a0Student with the Teacher\u00a0is\u00a0of the HEAD.<\/p>\n

The relation of\u00a0a\u00a0DISCIPLE with the MASTER\u00a0is\u00a0of the HEART!<\/p>\n

The Disciple can melt into the Master – only when there\u00a0is\u00a0NO MIND. Only when he or she has reached the state of NO MIND.<\/p>\n\n

“Meditation is the state of no-mind; no society within you, no conditioning within you – just you, with your pure consciousness.”<\/strong>\n-OSHO<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the state of NO MIND – TRUTH descends like\u00a0a\u00a0light unto you. Then the Master appears – then the communication between you and the Master happens – and it all happens in SILENCE – deep Silence.<\/p>\nREAL COMMUNICATION HAPPENS IN SILENCE<\/strong>\n

MIND makes\u00a0a\u00a0lot of noise. That\u00a0is\u00a0one reason that I stay away from the crowd.\u00a0A\u00a0few selective people only I choose – because they are taking efforts to move beyond mind – through meditation.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0talkative person\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0headache. This \u2018talk\u2019 has led to so many miseries.<\/p>\n

Mohan asked \u201c How?\u201d<\/p>\n

I said \u201c How does\u00a0a\u00a0relationship began?\u201d<\/p>\n

And Mohan said \u201c Talk – through talking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u00a0is\u00a0right – first the man and the woman start \u2018talking\u2019 – then they talk more and more – over the phone – in person – and then this talking slowly starts transforming into the first step towards\u00a0a\u00a0bonding –\u00a0a\u00a0relationship!\u201d<\/p>\n

So \u2018Talking\u2019\u00a0is\u00a0the first step – and this talking\u00a0is\u00a0all of the MIND and the MIND\u00a0is\u00a0monkey. The MIND goes on and on and on – and you start feeling that this woman\u00a0is\u00a0something – or – this man\u00a0is\u00a0something – the MIND\u00a0is\u00a0cunning – it knows how to attract through talking – you never know what lies beneath the talking – what\u00a0is\u00a0the REAL AGENDA!<\/p>\n

And so\u00a0a\u00a0common man falls in love through the medium of TALKING – COMMUNICATING. But\u00a0a\u00a0YOGI will never fall in love – because\u00a0a\u00a0YOGI has least interest in TALKING and moreover he also can easily understand what\u00a0is\u00a0hidden agenda behind your talking – your communicating.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0dislikes Talking. Rahu likes Talking.\u00a0A\u00a0man ruled by RAHU talks\u00a0a\u00a0lot – let me tell you all that TALKING or COMMUNICATING can bring fortunes to your material life – and there\u00a0is\u00a0absolutely NO DOUBT about this. BUT the more you get inclined towards talking and talking – the more you go on losing your SELF – the more you move away from your SELF. So in the eyes of the world – you become RICH – but within you become poorer and more poorer.<\/p>\n\n

“By talking and talking externally you may be gaining something, but WITHIN you are certainly losing contact with *Yourself*. You are getting closer to people while you are becoming further removed from yourself.<\/strong>\nAnd the more adept you become at this game, the harder it will be for you to go into silence.” – Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With folded hands – I therefore insist everybody who want to contact me – that do NOT spend your time and my time in TALKING – just email me and if I can respond I will – because the whole purpose of my sharing with you all –\u00a0is\u00a0to help you all MOVE towards your SELF – to MOVE you all towards SILENCE.<\/p>\n\n

“All we need to do is to KEEP QUIET. Peace is our real nature. We spoil it. All that is needed is that we cease to spoil it.”<\/strong>\n-Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

KETU\u00a0rejoices in SILENCE. The YOGI rejoices in SILENCE. The whole journey of this human life\u00a0is\u00a0to move towards SILENCE – and that SILENCE has to be\u00a0a\u00a0BLISSFUL Silence –\u00a0a\u00a0meditative silence.<\/p>\n

Those who cannot understand the TRUTH – will ask you \u201c Tell me the TRUTH?\u201d<\/p>\n

But how can you tell the TRUTH – when the one who\u00a0is\u00a0asking\u00a0is\u00a0still at the base level –\u00a0is\u00a0still an ignorant fellow! Jesus also remained silent – when he was asked at the very last moment when he was put on the CROSS – the Roman Prefect had asked \u201c What\u00a0is\u00a0the TRUTH?\u201d<\/p>\n

And Jesus remained silent. He just looked into the Prefect\u2019s eyes – and pure SILENCE. It was Buddhist Silence – because TRUTH can be shared – can be given only if there\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0certain depth of UNDERSTANDING!<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0can help you all – to bring\u00a0a\u00a0certain depth of understanding because\u00a0KETU\u00a0can TURN you INWARDS and only that man and that woman can have\u00a0a\u00a0certain depth – who\u00a0is\u00a0turning inwards – who\u00a0is\u00a0meditating – who\u00a0is\u00a0coming closer to the SELF – the Consciousness!<\/p>\n

People are running and running and seeking\u00a0a\u00a0MASTER –\u00a0a\u00a0real MASTER – my question to them\u00a0is\u00a0– Are you ready to become\u00a0a\u00a0true disciple?<\/p>\n

People want to see KRISHNA – the question\u00a0is\u00a0ARE YOU READY TO BE ARJUNA?<\/p>\n

Only when you have become\u00a0a\u00a0true disciple that you can SEE the Master – Feel his love – Feel his Grace.<\/p>\n

The word DISCIPLE\u00a0is\u00a0very beautiful – it means one who\u00a0is\u00a0\u2018Ready to learn\u2019. Discipline means creating\u00a0a\u00a0Space for learning. Disciple means one who\u00a0is\u00a0Ready to Learn. But when can you learn? Only when you drop all your EGO, your PREJUDICES, your NOTIONS and IDEAS only when YOU BECOME TOTALLY EMPTY –\u00a0SHUNYA\u00a0– that you can become\u00a0a\u00a0true disciple!<\/p>\n

This state of being\u00a0SHUNYA\u00a0– EMPTY\u00a0is\u00a0what\u00a0KETU\u00a0brings – only IF you are able to resonate with its energy – can you develp – grow – in the true sense.<\/p>\n

The \u2018cup\u2019\u00a0is\u00a0useful ONLY because it\u00a0is\u00a0EMPTY! Form\u00a0is\u00a0EMPTINESS, EMPTINESS\u00a0is\u00a0FORM states one of the most revered Buddhist Texts.<\/p>\n

As long as you are PACKED with all the KNOWLEDGE that you have collected all along your life – how can the REAL – the TRUTH penetrate into your being – you are already packed – Housefull.<\/p>\n

And so unless there\u00a0is\u00a0EMPTINESS – you cannot grow inside out – you may go on repeating the words of Buddha but you will not become\u00a0a\u00a0Buddha – to become\u00a0a\u00a0Buddha – you have to first become EMPTY –\u00a0a\u00a0NOBODY\u00a0– rejoice in NOTHINGNESS.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0when related to Jupiter\u00a0is\u00a0always beneficial for spiritual growth – the question\u00a0is\u00a0whether you are ready?<\/p>\n

And so come, come you all – and realize the fact that this\u00a0is\u00a0the only moment – the PAST\u00a0is\u00a0NO more – and the FUTURE\u00a0is\u00a0not yet – this moment – NOW\u00a0is\u00a0the only moment and time\u00a0is\u00a0running – you have to decide which way you have to move on with your journey – RAHU or\u00a0KETU?<\/p>\n

What you choose\u00a0is\u00a0what you become. You are always free to choose but you are never free from the consequences of the Choice that you make!<\/p>\n

So choose wisely – when you look around and you see people who have got exactly what they have wished for – you may get carried away by thinking that they are the ones who are LUCKY – but let me tell you all they are NOT the lucky ones – the lucky ones are those who DO what they are meant to do – who come with\u00a0a\u00a0mission –\u00a0a\u00a0purpose and work towards making that mission\u00a0a\u00a0success,\u00a0a\u00a0celebration.<\/p>\n\n

“There are people who get exactly what they want. You think they are the lucky ones, but they are NOT. The LUCKY ones are those who do what they are meant to.” – Neem Karoli Baba<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An Army officer fights to save his country – he may lose his life – but he has done what he was meant to do. Such men and women who work for others – whose sole purpose\u00a0is\u00a0to DO what they are meant to – are the LUCKY ones and not those who get exactly what they want.<\/p>\n

But not everybody can understand this – the majority has become slave of their MIND and the MIND ensures that you never get to the bottom of the TRUTH.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0helps you to overcome this Monkey Mind. Through\u00a0KETU\u00a0you can detach yourself -and the moment DETACHMENT starts coming over you – you can start experiencing the happiness – the love – the peace you have been seeking all your life.<\/p>\n

The key\u00a0is\u00a0DETACHMENT. The way\u00a0is\u00a0through WITNESSING.<\/p>\n

Witnessing\u00a0is\u00a0the way. Remain\u00a0a\u00a0witness while you do\u00a0a\u00a0certain action. Do it without getting attached – if you are feeding someone – feed but by being detached. If you are helping someone – healing someone – do it – but remain\u00a0a\u00a0witness – just the way\u00a0a\u00a0MILITARY DOCTOR on\u00a0a\u00a0battleground does.<\/p>\n

What he does? He simply heals the wounded soldiers – one by one. He\u00a0is\u00a0NOT attached – he\u00a0is\u00a0simply devoted to his ART OF HEALING – he heals one soldier and moves on to the next – and then next and next and next – that\u2019s all! There\u00a0is\u00a0absolutely no attachment – whatever he does – he does out of care, out of love – but that love\u00a0is\u00a0NOT attached – it moves on to the NEXT – and that\u2019s\u00a0KETU\u00a0–\u00a0KETU\u00a0heals and HE can HEAL because there\u00a0is\u00a0absolute NO ATTACHMENT to what he does. There\u00a0is\u00a0absolute NO AGENDA to what he does – there\u00a0is\u00a0absolute NO expectations to what he does – he simply does what he\u00a0is\u00a0meant to do – and such\u00a0a\u00a0man\u00a0is\u00a0lucky man – such\u00a0a\u00a0man\u00a0is\u00a0truly\u00a0a\u00a0blessed man says the divine saint Neem Karoli Baba.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0Emptiness.\u00a0Shunya. Only when you become\u00a0a\u00a0Shunya\u00a0can you WITNESS. Only when you start LETTING GO – can you Meditate. And only when you meditate that you can come to your own realizations – you can heal yourself – and only when you can heal yourself that you can HEAL others! The whole spiritual journey begins from\u00a0KETU\u00a0– for the way towards the TRUTH –\u00a0is\u00a0within and\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0the only energy in this whole universe that can encourage you – empower you to look within and begin on the most wonderful journey of your life – the Journey Within.<\/p>\n\n

“You have no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself, enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.”<\/strong>\n~Rumi<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The only journey\u00a0is\u00a0the JOURNEY WITHIN – and my fellows this\u00a0is\u00a0exactly what KETU\u2019s message\u00a0is\u00a0– those who can relate to this divine message – can EVOLVE during KETU\u2019s dasha, transits and those who cannot – will simply continue to live\u00a0a\u00a0miserable life.<\/p>\n

Every Kundli\u00a0is\u00a0either inclined towards\u00a0KETU\u00a0(LET GO) or RAHU (ATTACHED\/CLINGING\/HOLDING). And so first comes RAHU\u00a0KETU\u00a0and then begins the whole story of planets – that\u00a0is\u00a0how critical are these two ENDS – one\u00a0is\u00a0HITLER (RAHU) and the other\u00a0is\u00a0BUDDHA (KETU) and they are two polarities that can never meet – you cannot say that \u201c I am\u00a0a\u00a0philosopher and I am spiritual\u201d – You are either\u00a0a\u00a0PHILOSOPHER (RAHU) or you are pure SPIRITUAL (KETU)!<\/p>\n

Philosopher\u00a0is\u00a0like\u00a0a\u00a0blind man. He simply goes on and on and on – apply\u00a0a\u00a0hell of\u00a0a\u00a0LOGIC – he may try to figure out how KRISHNA looks – but he has never experienced the divinity of Krishna. He may repeat the words of BUDDHA but he has NEVER EXPERIENCED the divinity the essence of BUDDHA. You see –\u00a0a\u00a0philosopher\u00a0is\u00a0all logic WITH ABSOLUTE NO REAL EXPERIENCE.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0a\u00a0Spiritual person and what\u00a0a\u00a0beauty he\u00a0is. He\u00a0is\u00a0so simple, so straight and he speaks so less – he\u00a0is\u00a0not lost in his PAST and he\u00a0is\u00a0NOT worried or thinking about his FUTURE – because he\u00a0is\u00a0absolutely aware that PAST\u00a0is\u00a0NO MORE and FUTURE\u00a0is\u00a0NOT YET – he\u00a0is\u00a0perfectly aware that LIFE\u00a0is\u00a0flowing NOW – in this PRESENT moment – and so he lives moment to moment – he has absolute NO interest in applying any logic or calculations – he\u00a0is\u00a0simply happy to – BE HERE NOW – Meditation happens only when you are able to BE HERE NOW – when your MIND\u00a0is\u00a0in your control and\u00a0is\u00a0concentrating on this NOW MOMENT. Such\u00a0a\u00a0man EXPERIENCES the TRUTH – and so whatever he shares\u00a0is\u00a0through HIS OWN EXPERIENCES – he\u00a0is\u00a0NOT imagining – he has actually experienced and so\u00a0a\u00a0SPIRITUALIST\u00a0is\u00a0NOT\u00a0a\u00a0philosopher. And\u00a0a\u00a0PHILOSOPHER\u00a0is\u00a0NOT\u00a0a\u00a0spiritualist.<\/p>\n

TRUTH\u00a0is\u00a0hard – it may hurt – it may lead to collapsing this answer but as long as it remains – it can benefit\u00a0a\u00a0few.<\/p>\n

You all have to decide your way – if you all ask me than I would say – live your life as an ordinary man or woman. Just be ordinary but let there be so much of Godliness – divinity – worship – selfless service to your being – to your life that you become special –\u00a0a\u00a0truly special CHILD OF GOD!<\/p>\n\n

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

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

RAHU has dragged you all into the many lustful temptations, greed, low desires, ambitions – you all have gone through this – many must be going through this – and many may be in the waiting list to go through all of this – this RAHU showers plenty of money – just to make you \u2018blind\u2019 (ignorant) – then you start doing many mistakes – many foolish decisions – and then when you are tithly caught in RAHU\u2019s grip – which\u00a0is\u00a0your ownpast karmic creation – you start feeling utterly miserable – all the doors appear to be closed and there seem to be NO WAY OUT!<\/p>\n

But\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0on the other end – you miss to notice the Master – you miss to realize that while you were totally DRUNK in the abundance of money,power and fame – on the exact other end –\u00a0a\u00a0very old man was observing – waiting to see when you will WAKE UP – and the day you WAKE UP – you start moving towards HIS ABODE – then you are truly changing – then you are truly transforming – then there\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0song to your life – then the bud starts transforming into\u00a0a\u00a0beautiful flower!<\/p>\n

That old man –\u00a0KETU\u00a0always waits – to see when you WAKE UP. At times he makes someone as common as me – as his medium to WAKE UP some of you – the process continues – like me – the old man has many such mediums – out of million – one may WAKE UP and even that\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0great development. There are souls who seek liberation and there are souls who are more interested to SERVE HIM by being HIS Servant – God\u2019s Servant.<\/p>\n

I am one of HIS servant. Some of you also maybe His servant. Always remember –\u00a0A\u00a0faithful servant never retires. You can retire from your career but you can NEVER retire from the service of GOD!<\/p>\n\n

“If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him.”<\/strong>\n-Ramakrishna<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Always remember – there\u00a0is\u00a0absolutely no reason to FEAR anybody or anything as long as you are walking on the PATH OF TRUTH . The beauty\u00a0is\u00a0NOT in advancing spiritually – the real beauty\u00a0is\u00a0to LOSE YOURSELF IN HIS LOVE – in HIS DEVOTION – in HIS SERVICE.<\/p>\n\n

“The goal of Krsna Consciousness is not to be spiritually advanced; it is to be servant of Krsna.”<\/strong>\n– Radhanath Swami<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n

The best way to find peace, to find bliss, and to experience abundance of Joy –\u00a0is\u00a0by losing yourself in the service of others!\u00a0KETU\u00a0exactly wants this – that you have to let go all of your \u2018ME- ness\u2019 – the \u2018I\u201d should fade away.<\/p>\n

The Holy Bible emphasis on the fact that unless \u2018I\u2019 (the EGO) becomes less – the way out\u00a0is\u00a0impossible. The way out\u00a0is\u00a0possible only when \u201cI\u2019 becomes lesser and HE (GOD) becomes Greater.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Krishna says to Arjuna – \u2018You surrender to ME and I will take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arjuna surrenders. Only\u00a0a\u00a0man who\u00a0is\u00a0turning inwards can surrender – only\u00a0a\u00a0man who\u00a0is\u00a0detached can surrender – only\u00a0a\u00a0man who\u00a0is\u00a0selfless can surrender – only\u00a0a\u00a0man who has overcome the monkey mind can surrender – only\u00a0a\u00a0man who has become love can surrender – Arjuna surrenders – the question that you all should ask yourself\u00a0is\u00a0that – WHY CANNOT YOU SURRENDER?<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0all about Letting Go –\u00a0Ketu\u00a0is\u00a0all about SURRENDERING –\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0all about living your LIFE in TOTAL SURRENDER.<\/p>\n

SURRENDER\u00a0is\u00a0the most miraculous word. All religions and the scriptures written under this sky simply encourages you to live your life in TOTAL SURRENDER.<\/p>\n\n

“Meditation is a surrender, it is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way, it is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be. It is a let-go.”<\/strong>\n-Osho<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After surrendering yourself to existence – to God – there\u00a0is\u00a0nothing left to be done. You find your peace, your find your joy and then life starts transforming into\u00a0a\u00a0garden of bliss\u2026.this\u00a0is\u00a0how it happens\u2026..this\u00a0is\u00a0the way of its happening.<\/p>\n

And so come you all – let us meditate – many lives have gone-by – one more human life has come our way – and so it\u00a0is\u00a0for you all to decide what to do with this precious human life – spend it by focusing on the outside OR value it by turning inward and evolving to the higher realms of consciousness.<\/p>\n

Finally it all comes down to CONSCIOUSNESS.<\/p>\n

KETU\u00a0is\u00a0beautiful –\u00a0KETU\u00a0is\u00a0immensely precious – because\u00a0KETU\u00a0can make you turn inward and it\u00a0is\u00a0only when you start turning inwards that you can come closer to your consciousness!<\/p>\n

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi – the divine Yogi says \u201c When we turn the mind inwards – God manifests as the inner consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n

To all my followers, readers and fellow travelers – I appeal – everyday morning and evening – spend some quality time with yourself – turn inwards and meditate – meditate and meditate. Just REMEMBER your inner space and go back again and again – your peace\u00a0is\u00a0WITHIN you, your happiness\u00a0is\u00a0WITHIN you – all you need\u00a0is\u00a0to turn the mind\u2019s concentration inward – and meditate.<\/p>\n\n

“To achieve that state of lasting happiness and absolute peace, we must first know how to calm the mind, to concentrate and go beyond the mind. By turning the mind’s concentration inward, upon the self, we can deepen that experience of perfect concentration. This is the state of Meditation.”<\/strong>\n-Sivananda<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A\u00a0time should come in your life when you don\u2019t have to meditate anymore – you become meditation! And that\u00a0is\u00a0the maturity state of\u00a0Ketu\u00a0– that\u00a0is\u00a0the real beginning – the ending\u00a0is\u00a0always the beginning!<\/p>\n

The \u2018journey\u2019 never ends, it never can.<\/p>\n
