STRIVE TO QUALIFY

Baba said, "I can give anyone, what he wants, but I have to see, whether he is

qualified to receive My gift" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.XVI & XVII.

One day, a visitor entered the office of a service organisation. The man

incharge of the office was in a foul mood. Before him was a long list of the

many things he had attend to, during the day. He felt tired, overworked.

"Excuse me," the visitor said gently.

The man glanced up, and gave him an angry look. In his haste and pessimism, he

did not even bother to ask the visitor what he wanted.

Quietly, the visitor walked out of the office. Later, he mentioned to a friend,

"I just wanted to pass on to him a cheque for Rs. 50,000/- in appreciation of

the good work his organisation is doing. But he was in no mood to receive!"

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

God’s creation reflects the image of God, but the beings give it an image of the

world by their ego, attachment and fondness. Just as the goal of the sick, is to

gain good health, so man’s objective is to seek salvation. By giving no

importance to worldly success or failures and remaining equanimous, man

achieves his goal.

(Amrta Bindu. 30)

Can astrology predict the exact time of death?

The stars indicate: they do not compel. Astrology can only tell you the time

when death is likely to occur. You must not forget that, that which is

threatened does not necessarily befall. Further, astrology does not necessarily

befall. Further, astrology is not like arithmetic. A sum in arithmetic can have

only one answer. In astrology, so many factors are involved that it is quite

likely that the astrologer whom you have consulted, has not considered all

these factors, with the result that his calculations may be far from correct.

Astrology is more of an art than a science, and much depends upon the

astrologer who prepared your horoscope and the one who reads it.

Let me say, however, that in every horoscope there are periods when death is

likely to occur. And if you are forewarned, you can be very careful and so can

avoid death. I have known cases in which the faith and will-power of the person

concerned, or someone close to him, have helped the person to tide over the

crisis. Once the period is crossed over, conditions become normal, until

another such period enters your life.

To sum up, there are periods when the soul is likely to leave the body, but it

is not necessarily bound to do so. We must not adopt a fatalistic attitude and

lie down and die, just because the planets happen to be adverse. Man is more

infinitely more than planetary influences.
