Lesson Two

[Guest guest]

Lesson Two:

 

Dear and respected teachers. Before giving

the answer for this lesson, I would like to state the real joy it caused to my

hearth, reading, studying and thinking of the whole subject contained in this

lesson.

It was to me as if I felt after this

lesson, that Jyotish is not a simple science, it has a real soul, I mean, it is

not an empty science that one can learn only by studying all the calculation

and decorating the meaning for grahas and bhavas, NO! It has “something” more

that makes the difference! And in learning this all together I think Jyotish

will be of real value to both the Jyotisha and to whoever may contact him/her.

I always felt something was missing in the common astrology I got in touch

with. Now I realize what was missing on!

 

After what I stated above, I shall now say

that is difficult to me putting into words the feeling I have into my hearth

regarding the whole subject; as material words can sometimes spoils the

abstract and fine meaning that only the hearth may speak of.

I will do my best to express myself:

 

1- Try to

define the role of God in your life.

 

mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold">GOD This

name should arise Joy and fear in all human being.

yes"> Joy for the possibility of belonging to Him in each cell of

our body, in each vibration of our thought and in every deed we can act as

humans. And fear in term of reverence, respect and watchfulness so that our

whole life be a praise of gratitude for the possibility of recognize Him trough

His Laws that are written in nature as the last manifestation of this Will.

Since

childhood, I soon discovered that life on earth had not much to offer; unless I

chose a path that could send me toward the knowledge of the Will of God. And so

I did. I decided then to select everything that had real meaning toward this

direction from what could only cause material and short lasting pleasure. Since

then I dedicate all my life in this direction.

So, to me, God

is all. Is the only reason for me to live on. He is in my mind in every step I

make. Of course, as an imperfect human, I realize that many times all this

become only attempts. But I guess that is the way. Learning thorough mistakes,

which can bring lessons for further experience.

closer to God?

yes">

 

In

the past year – as well as the previous and present years - I tried to come

closer through learning His Laws. I meditated over facts and effects in our

daily life. I read books, which explained about it and tried to apply the

knowledge to my life.

Answer:

 

God

is God. All is the effect of God’s radiation. In this case I may consider that

God is all.

 

4- The priest

may help to conduct people through pre conceived rules, but the Jyotisha may

guide the person to find the right path

- with the knowledge of the person destiny and qualities, what makes

this path in accordance to the particularities of each human being what may be

seen from the astrological chart.
