Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Jai Jinendra Mark and All, As gone through various discusion in group many times,we talk about prarabh,karma,moksha,materialism etc etc. a thought came to my mind why we need to ever exist what is an ultimatum.A context I am here talking aout is not in terms of we are detached from paraatma or unsatisified souls that is going through various lives.But I am saying Why heaven and Hell,Why existence,Why we really are that we need to be.What for and in order ot achieve what? Is God has created us,and sustaining and ultimately our aim is to get Moksha. Than Why he neds to do that?.what can be a poible reason. If God is not a creator and if by nature or just like that is our existense. Than if some Maha Rishi has shown a path of living idealism or through which you will attain Ultimatum. Why a question arises why we required that too.? so someone will answer to get fredom from Life and death again and again and again... Than I have a question for them why we need to birth an die? Ofcourse very sensible answer that's How Life runs.... But Why Life exist.... I want to know why a very soul of each and every human being in this world exist? Why world exist and so do we are? Now assume that everything is by naturally has evoluted in this world? Some great souls have fiound there path to live this wold.. Some born as a evil,while some as good people,some as mahatmas etc etc.... just naturally.... Everyone has there own way of living........... Everyone has grief and happiness as per there terms and conditions. But yes as our Maharishi or any individual you will ask What kind of happiness he really experienced. Answer you wil get is a very soul exp,which must have felt through mind being with lover or parents or God or afriends etc etc. And that exp.. no one wants to forget or stays as an unforgettable memories of Life. And so does Moksha is a soul exp of eveything and mind or body has nothing to do with,so ultimately no grief to arrive which seems very logical. But again same place were I have started Why all such things exist............. Enough for today,will continue some day later........ --- Mark Kincaid <m.kincaid wrote: > Dear Mark, Hi, > > Thanks for the comments, and reminding us of the > importance and > practical validity of transits once again. > > Regarding your last point, about "consciousness" > what do you think > about, or what is your experience re:, "the karmas > indicated in the > birth chart, transforming through changes in > consciousness (or > tapas/propitiation for that matter)", e.g. about the > theory that one > grows out of ones chart, through spiritual > evolution, karmas being > indicated softened so to say? > > > Dear Sabri: > > I think there is an element of Jyotish, especially > Consciousness Jyotish, > wherever we begin, > we really can grow beyond the obvious limitations of > our charts. > > I think for most people their chart's are more > fatalistic if they never do > anything especially Vedic to change their stars. > > Maharishi's Guru, Swami Brahmananda Sarasati used to > say, there were a > million kinds of births you could take before human > births, and then after > that, without meditation, thousands of life-times. > However, with > meditation, we can so magnificanently, expand > ourselves, that we really can > grow beyond the obvious limitations of our charts. > > I know many 'meditators', who report much lessening > of the obvious lessening > of the stresses, of their 'malefics' or charts, > since meditating, and that's > been my experience as well. > > But, then, add on top of that, the growth and > self-development of the study > of Jyotish, itself, and that, especially in > conjunction with meditation, is > an amazing dual, Vedic remedy! > > > Now, I believe that the malefics in our charts > represent, really the > stresses or blocks in our enlightenment. > > And, as we go to the transcendental realm, and or, > even, learn how to get > more in-tune with those, so-called malefics, we can > think in terms of > eliminating all stresses!, or malefics. > > In enlightenment, the deepest blocks to our infinite > potential will be gone, > but still, certain aspects of astrological > personality and mental > characteristics will still be there. > > But, from the inside, we'll feel no restriction or > limitations. > > Nice talking with you. > > > Sincerely, > > > Mark Kincaid > > > > "Sabri" <korua > vedic astrology > Sun, 03 Jul 2005 21:57:48 -0000 > vedic astrology > [vedic astrology] Re: 2-Sabir & all: > re.....
