The key towards Real transformation is through ABSOLUTENESS!<\/p><p>When you are in ABSOLUTE LOVE &#8211; you can do anything &#8211; you can change for the person you love &#8211; you can transform within for the person you love.<\/p><p>And if the same ABSOLUTE LOVE is uplifted towards GOD &#8211; towards the Master &#8211; then how much can you transform &#8211; how much can you change for good!<\/p><p>In BIRTH CHART &#8211; no person is an ABSOLUTE SATVIC or TAMASIC or RAJASIC. But as mentioned earlier &#8211; one of the GUNA (QUALITY) predominates. How to detect or identify which GUNA predominates?<\/p><p>Through the MOON. MOON is the MIRROR. It is the MIRROR of your MIND.<\/p><p>WHATEVER HAPPENS to YOU &#8211; appears to happen through the MOON simply because you are DRIVEN by your MIND and NOT SELF.<\/p><p>And since the MAJORITY is driven by the MOON &#8211; (MIND) &#8211; since the majority is enslaved by the MIND &#8211; the MOON becomes your key to identify which GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is in the sign of JUPITER &#8211; and placed in houses except 8th &#8211; and has an aspect (DRISHTI) from JUPITER &#8211; the SATVIK GUNA predominates though the other TWO (TAMASIK and RAJASIK) ALSO are active.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is in the sign of ARIES or SCORPIO or CAPRICORN &#8211; and placed in houses except 8th &#8211; and has an aspect (DRISHTI) from MARS, SATURN &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates though the other TWO (SATVIK and RAJASIK) ALSO are active.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is in the sign of VENUS or MERCURY &#8211; and placed in houses except 8th &#8211; and has an aspect (DRISHTI) from MARS, SATURN &#8211; the RAJASIK GUNA predominates though the other TWO (TAMASIK and SATVIK) ALSO are active.<\/p><p>However along with the above generic rules:<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is with RAHU &#8211; irrespective of which zodiac sign it is in &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is with SHANI &#8211; irrespective of which zodiac sign it is in &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is with MARS &#8211; irrespective of which zodiac sign it is in &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is with URANUS &#8211; irrespective of which zodiac sign it is in &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>Whenever MOON is with SUN &#8211; irrespective of which zodiac sign it is in &#8211; the TAMASIC GUNA predominates.<\/p><p>All these fellows should worship SHIVA &#8211; infact many of them are and have been devotees of SHIVA &#8211; or of an AVATAR of SHIVA such as KALBHAIRAVA.<\/p><p>The only EXCEPTION is for KETU &#8211; whenever MOON is with KETU &#8211; in the following signs:<\/p><p>CAPRICORN, ARIES, SCORPIO &#8211; the TAMASIK GUNA predominates though the other two exists.<\/p><p>The only SIGN &#8211; in which KETU comes in contact with the MOON &#8211; that it DOES NOT bring TAMASIK GUNA is the SIGN of PIECES.<\/p><p>So observe the MOON. Observe the NAKSHATRA in which MOON is placed. Observe the DRISHTI of planets that fall on the MOON. Observe the aspects that Moon is making with TAMASIK\/RAJASIK\/SATVIK planets and then you will be able to identify which GUNA (QUALITY) predominates in a specific person &#8211; though always remember that NO PERSON is ABSOLUTE SATVIK or TAMSIC or RAJASIK &#8211; every SINNER has some positive quality in HIM or HER and every SAINT\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">had\u00a0<\/span>some negative quality in HIM or HER &#8211; the whole journey is towards ABSOLUTENESS &#8211; the whole spiritual essence is in the state of ABSOLUTENESS &#8211; which one has to attain &#8211; at some point of his or her many birth cycles!<\/p><p>Yesterday Mohan was asking \u201c Buddha shared everything with Ananda &#8211; or was something left?\u201d<\/p><p>I said \u201c Mohan &#8211; that is a good question.\u201d<\/p><p>And this is a significant question &#8211; a very significant indeed.<\/p><p>Understand the fact that BUDDHA is ABSOLUTE (BRAHMAN)\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">\u092c\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092e\u094d\u0939\u093e! \u092c\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092e\u094d\u0939\u093e means UNIVERSE &#8211; the whole UNIVERSE is contained in one man and his name is GAUTAMA BUDDHA!<\/span><\/p><p>And Ananda is still to become an ABSOLUTE &#8211;\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">\u092c\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092e\u094d\u0939\u093e!\u00a0<\/span>Now how can the DEPTH of a SEA be realized by someone who is still a RIVER!<\/p><p>One day &#8211; the same question Ananda had asked &#8211; there was nobody around, Buddha was alone and so Ananda asked \u201cMaster &#8211; you are always surrounded by people.
