First comes the \u2018i&#8217;. Then comes the agreeing and disagreeing and then follows the unending miseries of life!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Whole life is spent in agreeing and disagreeing and in the end, nothing is derived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Agreeing and Disagreeing is of the MIND &#8211; understand this, this is of significance. The MIND goes on agreeing and disagreeing &#8211; the Heart simply listens!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so someone who is just listening &#8211; can understand more than someone who is agreeing and disagreeing &#8211; he simply is into his MIND and the MIND is mechanical &#8211; it can only make you more confused than otherwise!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Every day, more than a hundred emails come to my inbox, and maximum of them are in this \u2018agreeing\u2019 and \u2018disagreeing\u2019 mode of state! And to me, such people are dangerous to my peace- because they create a lot of noise. If I help them with even one \u2018message\u2019 &#8211; they will not listen, they will ask a hundred counter questions &#8211; you see &#8211; the MIND is in play whereas I am looking for someone who is following his heart &#8211; such a man, such a woman will not ask &#8211; will not agree and not disagree but simply listen to what I am sharing &#8211; and then it is a song, then there is every possibility for such heartful men and women to progress in life &#8211; they are always in minority &#8211; and yet it is these men and women who make this world a much better place to live!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Judging is ugly. The MIND is always judging. And it judges from the appearance &#8211; because the MIND is shallow &#8211; the HEART has depth &#8211; a great saint once had said that \u201cPeople \u2018see\u2019 through their MIND\u201d &#8211; and the MIND is elusive &#8211; it goes on creating many illusions &#8211; and that is how many of you find yourself in more miseries than otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jupiter in Ascendant is good &#8211; only when the Ascendant lord is well-placed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The ancient seers mention that Jupiter in Ascendant often takes away the native\u2019s father &#8211; either the father dies early or the father moves away from the native &#8211; in short, the native rarely does get father\u2019s love &#8211; there is a kind of strong absence of father\u2019s love in his or her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The ancient seers must be right. Because that is what we see happening in most cases. But the bigger question is &#8211; WHY?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And the answer is simple. The presence of the LORD OF LORDS &#8211; Jupiter on the Throne (ascendant) of your life &#8211; conveys a simple message \u201cYour seniority is far superior to anybody else in your immediate family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now, who is your immediate family? Of course your Father and Mother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">In Indian culture, the Father is the topmost authority of the family. Now the situation is &#8211; that with Jupiter in Ascendant &#8211; you have arrived with much seniority &#8211; that it simply cannot tolerate anybody else &#8211; and so it is a sign that soon you would be taking the whole responsibility of the family &#8211; you become the FAMILY HEAD &#8211; while the Father goes away (death\/separation etc.) But the role of the Father in such a native\u2019s life is much shorter &#8211; in fact if other aspects are not supportive than he or she should definitely live independently &#8211; away from the father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Yesterday &#8211; a case came, many such cases come every day &#8211; but in this case &#8211; the man writes in his email \u201cI may commit suicide because my father is no more and my mother is disturbing our marital life (me and my wife) &#8211; now you please help me or I don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">I wrote to him \u201c The solution is simple, get yourself out &#8211; stay away from your mother for the coming 18 months &#8211; arrange for an aide for your mother &#8211; and just let time pass by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now &#8211; will he follow this suggestion? And the answer &#8211; is NO. He never responded to me &#8211; and I knew he would not &#8211; and the reason is subtle, very subtle &#8211; the reason is in one word &#8211; ATTACHMENT!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Buddha says \u201c The root of suffering is ATTACHMENT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jupiter in Ascendant &#8211; actually leads to many struggles and sufferings. Lokmanya Tilak had to go through imprisonment &#8211; through many struggles &#8211; he had a Gaj Kesari Yog &#8211; Jupiter and Moon in Ascendant and yet life was not as smooth as a common man generally expects it to be!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">From the common man\u2019s perspective &#8211; everything has to be SAFE. SECURE. SMOOTH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">From much-evolved soul &#8211; such combinations or placements leads to much suffering. And it is this suffering and struggles that lead him to the much higher realms of consciousness!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Yesterday, I was talking to a ex-CEO of a known company, he is a meditative man &#8211; have been following the path of meditation &#8211; and he said \u201c The Saints and the evolved souls always are open to sufferings and pain because they are aware of the fact that it is only through the sufferings that you come towards the light of consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So true &#8211; but who wants to listen?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The common man is running behind all possible tricks to find an ESCAPE ROUTE from the sufferings and pains. A few days ago, a man wrote to me &#8211; \u201cI am going through a chronic disease of lungs, is there a way I can find a way to overcome it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now &#8211; the question itself is wrong. Because you are trying to find an escape route. Many women write to me \u201c My mother-in-law is not a good person, she does this and does that &#8211; is there a way to do something so that we get rid of her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now again &#8211; you are trying to find an escape route.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Husband writes \u201c My wife and her family proved to be a disaster &#8211; now how can I find a way to get through them? Should I file for a divorce?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Wife writes \u201c My husband seems to be cheating on me &#8211; I am fed up of his behavior &#8211; should I drag him to the court and get a divorce?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">You see &#8211; and I appeal to all the readers &#8211; to read these above set of questions again and again and you will find only one hidden question among all these questions and the hidden question is \u201c HOW CAN I ESCAPE?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Today, you may escape &#8211; but the KARMIC DUES remain &#8211; so tomorrow (next birth) you may have to come back to face the dues &#8211; and that time it is going to be harder than it is now!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So the solution is not in ESCAPING &#8211; but FACING your KARMA with much determination and persistence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Husband has cheated you &#8211; and you immediately go to court for a divorce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Mother-in-law is not good &#8211; and so you start finding out a way to get rid of her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Wife seems to be a quarrelsome woman &#8211; and so you have decided to drop her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Every person in this human world wants to find an escape route &#8211; those who find &#8211; will be \u2018held\u2019 later. And those who face the situation without trying to escape &#8211; will be allowed to go their way &#8211; freedom comes only when you go through all your PAST KARMIC OVER DUES &#8211; it is going to be painful &#8211; but that is how it has to be &#8211; never try to escape &#8211; instead face the situation of your life with much determination and confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Confidence &#8211; Jupiter in Ascendant brings immense confidence to the native. In fact, the native is confident by nature itself. As mentioned above &#8211; Ascendant Jupiter may bring certain sufferings to your life &#8211; but such a native is a POSITIVE person and because he always remains positive &#8211; all the sufferings and struggles provide him with much higher perspectives of life and in this whole process &#8211; eventually he evolves to higher altitudes of life &#8211; becomes more matured &#8211; and in the end succeeds in achieving his goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Personally &#8211; I like men and women who have Jupiter in Ascendant &#8211; at least there is some positive influence over them &#8211; than otherwise. They have a generally positive outlook on life. Also, they are optimistic by nature. Generally, they like everything that is BIG.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">BIG is the word. They seem to be fascinated with whatever that is BIG, SPACIOUS, LARGE. And this is purely because of the positive influence of Jupiter in Ascendant (throne) who himself is the BIGGEST planet of all!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">You can say that they are large-hearted but that is totally based on the placement of their Moon and Mercury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">One of the drawbacks of this placement and especially when Jupiter nakshatra lord is not well placed or Jupiter has some negative Drishti from other planets &#8211; is the EGO factor!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">EGO has to be monitored on a regular basis. And Jupiter is your subtle Ego! Scholars, Pundits &#8211; they all are trapped in this subtle ego. In fact Jupiter in Ascendant gives birth to many pundits and priests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And that reminds me of a story &#8211; a story of the High Priest &#8211; who lived in Russia. It happened so that the High Priest learned from the people of the town that there are\u00a03 farmers\u00a0who lived across the river are great saints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The High Priest became upset. He became jealous- and so one day he hired a boat and asked the boatman to take him to the other side of the river where the 3 farmers lived. Soon he reached the shore. Then he got down and started heading towards the farmers. They were simple men, sitting under a huge tree, smiling, in their own bliss. When they saw the High Priest standing before them, they touched the feet of the highest priest, and the High Priest was very happy. He thought,\u00a0\u201cNow I will put them right \u2014 these are not very dangerous people. I was thinking they would be rebels or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">He asked them,\u00a0\u201cHow did you become saints?\u201d\nThey said, \u201cWe don\u2019t know!\u00a0We don\u2019t know that we are saints either. People have started calling us saints\u00a0and we go on trying to convince them that we are not,\u00a0we are very simple people, but they don\u2019t listen. The more we argue that we are not, the more they worship us! And we are not very good at arguing either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The priest was very happy. He said,\u00a0\u201cWhat is your prayer? Do you know how to pray?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">They looked at each other. The first said to the second, \u201cYou say.\u201d The second said to the third, \u201cYou say, please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The priest said, \u201cSay what your prayer is! Are you saying Our Lord\u2019s Prayer or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">They said, \u201cTo be frank with you, we don\u2019t know any prayer. We have invented a prayer of our own and we are very embarrassed \u2014 how to say it? But if you ask we have to say it. We have heard that God is a trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We are three and he is also three, so we have made a small prayer of our own:\u00a0\u2018You are three, we are three: Have mercy on us!\u2019\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The priest said,\u00a0\u201cWhat nonsense! Is this prayer? You fools, I will teach you the right prayer.\u201d\u00a0And he recited The Lord\u2019s Prayer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And those three poor people said, \u201cPlease repeat it once more, because we are uneducated, we may forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">He repeated it and they asked, \u201cOnce more \u2014 we are three, repeat it at least three times.\u201d So he repeated it again, and then very happy, satisfied, he went back in his boat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And the boat started sailing, the High Priest was very happy, now he can tell the people, that how he taught these illiterate 3 people. And while he was engrossed in his thoughts, just in the middle of the lake he was surprised, his boatman was surprised:\u00a0those three poor people were coming running on the water!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And they said, \u201cWait! Please one more time \u2014 we have forgotten the prayer!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now it was the turn of the High Priest to touch their feet, and he said,\u00a0\u201cForget what I have said to you. Your prayer has been heard, my prayer has not been heard yet. You continue as you are continuing.\u00a0I was utterly wrong to say anything to you. Forgive me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">How beautiful is this story, and how deep! You see &#8211; the High Priest had so much of EGO &#8211; that he could not \u2018see\u2019 the divinity of these 3 farmers who indeed were the greatest Saints! And they were so simple, so innocent that they went RUNNING ON THE WATER &#8211; and yet they found nothing special about it &#8211; it was just a natural action for them &#8211; but the High Priest was taken aback &#8211; because he may not have seen in his whole life &#8211; anybody &#8211; any human being &#8211; RUNNING or WALKING on the WATER!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">TRUTH has no agenda. The High Priest had an Agenda &#8211; Agenda to show these 3 Saints &#8211; on how Great he is and how uneducated and stupid they are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But the 3 saints &#8211; they were so simple, so innocent &#8211; how beautiful their heart must be &#8211; although they have attained the supreme consciousness &#8211; God realization &#8211; Self-realization &#8211; yet they do not ridicule the High Priest &#8211; they run on the water just to understand the \u2018prayer\u2019 that the High Priest wanted them to learn!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Truth is simple. Life is simple. The 3 Saints were also simple. Jesus is simple. Buddha is simple. Mahavira is simple &#8211; the great enlightened beings are always found to be simple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Simple is beautiful. A simple man. A simple woman &#8211; and my whole heart is open for them &#8211; it is always a pleasure to interact with every man and woman who are SIMPLE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">There is a beauty in simplicity!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;There is no need to have any guide.\nIf you are simple. then simplicity is enough If you are natural then that naturainess isenough. If you are not natural you will need the help of a master&#8221;\n-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\">You see &#8211; the poor man needs no master. It is the rich men who need the help of a master. The poor man is simple. The rich man has made his life complicated through his own ignorance. That is how we find the rich in more miseries than the poor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The poor man can \u2018Jump\u2019 &#8211; He is not going to ask any question &#8211; he has more faith than fear. That is how &#8211; Peter the fisherman \u2018jumps\u2019 &#8211; he is a poor man and Jesus meets him for the first time and Jesus says \u201cFollow me, I will make you the fisher of men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And Peter drops everything and starts following Jesus!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Now if the same happens with a rich man &#8211; imagine how much he would complicate the situation. He will ask millions of questions, raise hundreds of doubts and in this process, he goes on missing the truth, the divine, the beyond!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And this is what happens with you all &#8211; TOO MUCH of your intellectuality and TOO MUCH of your wealth comes between YOU and the TRUTH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jupiter in Ascendant leads to this TOO MUCHNESS. You may become a Pundit or a Scholar but then you dont stop there &#8211; you go on ACCUMULATING KNOWLEDGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN &#8211; you become so much PACKED &#8211; that there is no space for the real thing to penetrate in your being! You have already closed the doors by your own ignorance &#8211; your own TOO MUCHNESS!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And Lao TZU &#8211; the divine master says \u201c Too much is the only SIN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Look back in the history &#8211; you will see DICTATORS failing miserably &#8211; why? Because they went TOO FAR &#8211; TOO MUCH AMBITION led to their failure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Be cautious you all &#8211; and ask yourself &#8211; if you are maintaining a BALANCE &#8211; the moment there is no BALANCE &#8211; your desires and your ambitions have outgrown yourself &#8211; you all are \u2018in\u2019 for the greatest misery of your life!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">One day Lao Tzu said to all the villagers,\u00a0\u201c Tomorrow I must leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The villagers felt sad, how beautiful it was to be with Lao Tzu &#8211;\u00a0so much we have learned- so much we have changed\u00a0and\u00a0now this wonderful man is leaving us\u00a0&#8211; how to face this truth- and so they insisted him to stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But Lao Tzu said,\u00a0\u201cYou all have loved me a lot but now I cannot stop here anymore, It is time and I must go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">That night, when there was nobody around, a very close aide of Lao Tzu asked him \u201c Master, please tell me,\u00a0what is the reason for leaving?\u00a0These people love you so much.\u00a0They have become your followers-\u00a0then why are you leaving?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And Lao Tzu smiled and said \u201c These same people who are loving me so much, these same followers who are following me so sincerely &#8211; will turn exact opposite,\u00a0if I continue to stay on, remember\u00a0too much\u00a0is the only sin. And so before my stay becomes too much\u00a0before their love becomes too much\u00a0&#8211; let me move &#8211; please don\u2019t insist anymore. Tomorrow I must leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">TOO MUCHNESS\u00a0leads to problems. I appeal to all my readers &#8211; look at your life &#8211; and I say this to all my readers &#8211; observe closely &#8211; and you will find that it is\u00a0TOO MUCHNESS\u00a0that has led you to many miseries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">TOO MUCH\u00a0OF EATING.\u00a0TOO MUCH\u00a0OF SEX.\u00a0TOO MUCH\u00a0OF SEXUAL DESIRES.\u00a0TOO MUCH\u00a0OF SEX. TOO MUCH OF PRIDE. TOO MUCH OF LOVE. TOO MUCH OF EGO!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">It is this TOO MUCHNESS that goes on bringing too many miseries into your life and the irony is that you never realize it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">If you go on saying to your lover \u201cI love you\u201d &#8211; every day &#8211; it will be mental torture! There has to be a certain limit &#8211; a certain balance to everything that you say, you do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">When Jupiter is in ASCENDANT &#8211; irrespective of what sign it is placed in &#8211; one has to be careful of not letting life slip out of balance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">BALANCE. Life is a balance between REST and MOVEMENT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Let there be a balance &#8211; yesterday itself, a young man in his email writes to me \u201c I am confused on whether I should leave everything to attain spiritual bliss or I should continue with my material life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">You don\u2019t have to leave anything. Understand this. You just have to find the Balance. If you are married &#8211; then don\u2019t stop having sexual relations with your wife. That way you are denying her basic rights. If you are eating non-veg &#8211; don\u2019t stop eating non-veg because that way you are making the whole family suffer just because of your ignorance. Having Sex &#8211; Eating Non-Veg, or doing anything that is a normal way of living a human life &#8211; is not to be condemned or denied. Just go with the normal way of living &#8211; and while you do so &#8211; remember to bring God in your life, introduce God in your life &#8211; be more faithful and less fearful &#8211; walk on the path of love &#8211; path of the truth &#8211; follow the truth, follow every man and every woman who can add value to your life and a time will come when you will become \u2018special\u2019!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;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&#8217;t think that you are making or doing something special-and then you will be special.&#8221;\n-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\">All of you, are in a way special to me, because to follow me, or my answers, is certainly not something that everyone can understand. It is only a meditative heart that can resonate with my answer. Only that man and that woman can truly relate with my answers &#8211; who are turning inwards, and becoming more and more meditative!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jupiter in Ascendant is a good placement for meditation. The whole chart comes under Jupiter\u2019s influence and so if this Jupiter gets the right support of other planets and aspects then &#8211; you see a beautiful man, a beautiful woman flowering!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And when you flower within &#8211; when you resolve yourself within &#8211; only then can you find a right match &#8211; a suitable match, a suitable partner for yourself!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;People come to me and they ask how to go deep in a relationship. I tell them, &#8220;First, go deeply into meditation. Unless you are resolved within yourself you will create more problems than you already have. If you move in a relationship all your problems will be multiplied.&#8221; &#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\">Jupiter in Ascendant &#8211; is in many ways fortunate enough in finding the right marriage partner. And the reason is simple &#8211; when you are living consciously &#8211; you will always seek someone who compliments your conscious living! And so a good match is often seen with this placement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But there are many more things to Astrology &#8211; with just one placement you cannot conclude the story &#8211; but at least the essence of the story can be realized and in this case, the essence seems to be more positive when it comes to health, marriage, personality and more important &#8211; the character!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Watch your thoughts.\nthey become words.\nWatch your words.\nthey become actions.\nWatch your actions, they become habit.\nWatch your habits.\nthey become character.\nWatch your character.\nit becomes your destiny.&#8221;\n&#8211; Lao Tzu<\/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\">Habits become character. And the divine master is encouraging you to drop all habits because all habits are mechanical by nature &#8211; there is absolutely no consciousness to any habit that you perform!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Habit is bad; there are no bad habits, there are no good habits habit is bad. And one should be awake so there are no habits. You simply live moment to moment with full awareness, not by habits.&#8221;\n-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\">I am therefore not saying to anyone of you &#8211; that focus on good habits and drop bad habits. I am simply encouraging all of you &#8211; my readers and fellow travelers &#8211; to simply drop all habits &#8211; and let every action that you perform &#8211; execute out of your consciousness. And not out of a habit!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">The MIND is mechanical. Understand this. When you train the mind to do a certain thing again and again &#8211; it will go on doing it with exact accuracy but there will be no awareness to it! Remember the first time &#8211; when you were learning &#8211; how to drive the car? Or how to ride the bike? &#8211; You were so conscious &#8211; your every action was conscious &#8211; the clutch, the break, the indicator &#8211; everything that you were doing was being executed with so much of awareness! But when the same driving or riding became a habit &#8211; all your actions became mechanical &#8211; now you are \u2018doing it\u2019 &#8211; but it is not out of awareness but mechanical &#8211; it appears perfect but there is no life to it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so all habits are bad. I would encourage you all to drop all your habits and do all that you have been doing \u2018mechanically\u2019 &#8211; as a part of \u2018habit &#8211; do it the next time with much awareness &#8211; as if you are doing it for the first time and you will see something special &#8211; you will experience a great liveliness within you &#8211; and I am here, simply to share the liveliness, the awareness, the consciousness with you all!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So come you all &#8211; let us all focus on our meditation &#8211; life continues, the many problems of life continue, the distractions continue &#8211; but nobody should stop you from meditating &#8211; in the begining it is going to be difficult &#8211; but if you remain persistent, a day would come in your life &#8211; when slowly you would find yourself deeply rooted within you &#8211; yes, the noise is on the outside, the people &#8211; the crowd, the rush &#8211; and yet deep within your heart &#8211; there is total peace, a great silence is flowering within you and now nobody on the outside can disturb your peace &#8211; your peace is your real wealth and now it is safeguarded &#8211; and the day this happens &#8211; you know &#8211; you have arrived &#8211; you are flowering and then there is no looking back, the sky (consciousness) is clear and you are ready to fly!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly.&#8221;<\/strong>\n\n<strong>&#8221; If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down. &#8220;<\/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\">When there is no \u2018clinging\u2019 &#8211; when you learn to live in total detachment only then do you realize the beauty of living &#8211; only then you can spread your wings and\u00a0fly!<\/p>\n\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\">Understand what is what &#8211; and that is possible only when you live in total detachment. This human world is a mixture of \u2018Salt\u2019 (fake people) and \u2018Sugar\u2019 (real people) &#8211; but to realize who is salt and who is sugar &#8211; first, you have to raise your level of\u00a0consciousness\u00a0&#8211; only then you can wisely pick the sugar out of the salt!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>&#8220;The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.&#8221;\n-LAO TZU\n<\/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\">Jupiter in Ascendant is an ideal placement that can help you to raise your level of consciousness by being more and more meditative &#8211; but the question is &#8211;\u00a0are you ready?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Meditate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">For more spiritual insights and motivation- you all can avail my published books &#8211; \u2018How to overcome Rahu\u2019 &amp; \u2018 Gift of Consciousness\u2019 on Amazon.
