Hello Neeraj,

The question comes to mind whether the peon in the office is

destined to suffer like this or he has some compensations in next

Janma or previous Janma. He may not be in a position to carry out so

called good deeds as your Director can do.

Has the peon been chosen at rendom by fate to live this existence?

Inder

Very good question. That is why I had decided to answer it from my

point of view, though Neeraj Bhai would surely give his own opinion.

The question comes to your minds, that if each step of our lives is

pre-planned by the God and under control, then why would we suffer

for / get the reward of our actions in next births? Whatever a man is

doing in this birth is fixed, then automatically what he will be in

his next birth also becomes fixed, then what he will do in next birth

also gets fixed and what he will become in the next birth also is

fixed,... and thus the entire cycle is controlled. it does not make

any sense then, does it? A soul's whole birth cycle and whole

activities are controlled from the first birth to the last birth.

Then why making it a doll? It is responsible for none of it then why

punishing it or rewarding it for it's "own karma" for what it is not

the slighest responsible or has nothing to do?

 

I did not read a great deal of Gita but as far as I heard of it, Gita

explains this. Because the entire cycle of rebirth and the

experiences of all the births in world are a series of lessons of the

Great Lord that he has carefully set for the improvement or

purification of our souls to teach us the things we need to learn.

This is the Sambandha Gyan or knowledge of our positions. So it IS

the LEELA of the Lord to sent us in a chain of births and each step

and result of the step in each birth is controlled so that we do some

fixed and pre-planned things in which result he can impose the

results or events on us in order to teach us as per his syllabus

according to what we need to learn. Man can never reach moksha, only

he can grant us.

 

Regards

Tanvir.

Dear Manoshi Jee, Destiny is something that is fixed as per

definition. The question you should be asking, is IF OUR FATE IS

FIXED or IF OUR ACTIONS /DECISIONS ARE FIXED. And if the question is

so then my confident answer is a strong YES. Each and every steps and

the choices / decisions we select are fixed and THAT IS HOW each

predictions come true in the way as per the chart all through the

persons life though the chart was made with the info of the birth

date, ie in other words whatever a person does or faces all life long

can simply bne predicted right when he or she was born! Not so?

 

This should be the first ever lesson of Jyotish and without this

realization everything fails.

 

I have been trying to write a mega article on this but I have no

gotten enough ENERGY and TIME and ATTENTION to SUMMEN UP MYSELF to

write something so great because there I will have to write something

so ultimate, but in an easy understandable way. I am waiting to get

my full energy and attention to write this great truth in an easy and

explained way so that people can easily read and understand the

unbelievable truth. I am also trying to write an article where I am

going to say that whatever is true and correct in this world are the

most ugly things in this worls. Keats said that Beauty is the truth

of this world and anything true is always a beauty. I'd take the

opposition that the ultimate truth about anything is very dirty. We

carry bloods and shits inside our body that is the very truth, but if

they comes out we call it ditry! Just like that. Men are so

frightened to face the truth. Amazingly, love is the most selfishest

thing in this world so is it very dirty, the most dirty :-) I will

write about it some day I hope.

 

Anyway, to make a long discussion short, I would write the gist in a

line or two, if you all read it carefully and think about it, may be

you can grasp it.

 

A PERSON, DOES NOT MATTER HOW OLD IS S/HE, HIS WHOLE LIFE CAN BE

PREDICTED VERY ACCURATELY [ACCORDING TO THE SKILL OF THE CHART

DEADER] BUT THIS COULD BE DONE RIGHT WHEN HE WAS BORN. THIS PROVES

THAT WHEN HE HAS BORN ALL HIS FATE AND ACTION WAS FIXED SO IT WAS

POSSIBLE TO PREDICT. IF IT WAS NOT FIXED, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE

PREDICTED. THAT IS WHY HE WALKS ALONG THE WAY OF HIS LIFE AND THAT IS

WHY ALL THE THINGS HAPPEN IN A PLANNED WAY. IF HE HAD ANY TRUE FREE

WILL, HIS LIFE WOULD GO MORE AND MORE TO UNPREDICTABLE COURSE WITH

MORE AND MORE TIME PASSED AFTER HIS BIRTH, BASED ON WHAT WE MADE ALL

THOSE PREDICTIONS.

 

MORE IMPORTANT TO MENTION/CLARIFY, THAT IF ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN

AROUND US ARE FIXED, THEN ALL THE PEOPLE'S FREE WILL, CHOICES,

DECISIONS ARE FIXED, TOO. BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, IS THE RESULT

OF "DECISIONS" OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU. SO TO MAKE SOME PRE-PLANNED

EVENT HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE, THEY MUST ACT IN A PLANNED WAY TO

MATERIALIZE THE EVENT IN OUR LIFE. SAME WAY WHATEVER YOU DO, I REPEAT

WHATEVER, IS ALSO FIXED BECAUSE BY THOSE CHOSEN ACTIONS YOU

MATERIALIZE THE DESTINY OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU. WE ALL ARE ENGINEERS OR

DESTINY MAKERS OF OURSELVES, JUST THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT, WE MAKE IT

AS PER THE PLAN OF GOD, AND HE IS THE ARCHITECT.

 

I can give innumerable true examples from many lives but right now I

am giving one example. My 9th lord Ve, fortune lord in 4th,

directionally strong. So defnitely our common sense says that it

would give rise in positions in life and also luxurious home and

residence happiness. [strong Ve=luxury, also 9th lord, so confirm.]

Also happiness about mother.

 

So, in Ve AD I rejoined my mother that I was separated in previous Ke

AD. Ke separative planet, in 4th, aspected by Saturn, separation, and

joins 12th lord, again separation.

 

Anyway, in whole Ve AD I got some step by step rise in my status, my

father changed our residence, where I had my own room for the first

time. Now, Ve strong in 4th gave me own room and luxuries in it's AD.

But it was materialized for my father's so called FREE WILL. Not only

this, but it also had some FREE WILL of the house owner, with whom

dad had some despute, which resulted the change of home. That

happened because my father bought a new car for which the house owner

could not make a garage. My father bought a car because his friend

bought one, so he was motivated. So to make my 'change of residence'

true/materialized, it has to manage so many people's FREE WILL, so we

see how planned their free wills are.

 

Later he bought a new apartment, luxurious... and also I moved to my

mom's home, another luxurious place. My mother took me to her custody

because she was financially stable and independant to carry me. This

was because a big project of her family was finished so she god her

own apartment and profit moneys. So to take me to her in due time

planets had to arrange a lot of things in planned way, including the

finish of the big project of her family. So it included even the

works and free wills of those engineers. Actually the project was a

bit delayed because the political environment was not stable, so the

work couldnt proceed first. So even the political leaders decision's

to call carfues over and over was FIXED to get me with my mother in

the exact Ve AD, otherwise it should be happening in the Ke AD, but

it was astrologically impossible bec KE can not work against

separation, it rather made the separation. So you see each simple

event is the result of so many people's free will and decisions, even

of the political leaders! :-) And if they do not take the decisions

as planned by the desnity, then how come the 'result-events'

materialize in the planned way / predictable way of the chart?

 

Another example. My ex-GF left me with his family with her family in

my me-mo-ke. It is a common sense to find that sort of event would

happen in my life in that time. I have explained the astrological

reasons over and over in past very clearly and detailedly. But what

is very interesting here, that her movement was the result of her

father's appointment to Johns Hopkin's Univerysity as an Associate

Professor, so were not those people's decisions who appointed him

also fixed, and they took the decisions on right time just when I was

to be separated from my GF? It explains that if a person works even

1% different than what he is destined to do, there would be a big

disorder and break in the big "Circle of events" and create a big

mess.

 

So it explains what sort of free will we own and exercise.

 

Best wishes,

Tanvir.

 

NB. Another point, very important. Remedies work beyond the chart BUT

ARE THE PART OF THE GAME. How? "Remedies work beyond the chart" IE

you can have a happy married life with remedies when your chart shows

a divorce. So it is working beyond the chart. but, "IT IS THE PART OF

THE GAME / DESTINY" it means the result you get after remedy would

macth to others birth-chart and the effect they have without

remedies. Means, when you can avoid a divorce of your chart by

remedy, you will see that you got a girl who's chart has no sign of

divorce. It means that her destiny is to have a smooth married life

and that matches to the situation AFTER YOU DO YOUR REMEDY means the

fact that you would do remedy was fixed. On other words in a couples

charts BOTH CHARTS SHOULD INDICATE DIVORCE SAME TIME. Otherwise, if

her chart shows good married life and your's shows divorce, then

EITHER you must to remedy to BETTER YOURSELF to match HER situation,

OR she must do wrong remedies or wear wrong stones to WORSEN her to

match YOUR divorce-situation. SO remedy INDEED is fixed and PART OF

DESTINY but it is just the BALLANCE because the destiny needs it to

CORRECT THE MATH because 2+2=4 always, but sometimes the math comes

like 2+2=5, and then destiny adds an extra 1 to make the equation 2+2

(+1)=5 and THIS 1 IS THE REMEDY THAT DESTINY MAKES US PERFORM. This

example I have given once more time in JR but could not explain in

like this for time, and I know only few members has realized the

meaning of that :-)

One night I was thinking about the same.

 

What I found was,What ever is happening in this

universe is going to be that way till the end of

world,

After that as new world is going to generate and again

every thing same is going to happen,Again I will be

writing same mail and we all discussing about it.

 

There is no end to this.truth is out there.Nothing

changes in this world.New world will emerge and again

a same things which are happenend from past to what

ever is going to happen in future,will again repeat.
