Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Some genuine thoughts of mine.... EXPECTATIONS How much should we expect from anyone? Ideally we should not expect anything from anyone. But this is hard to do for a person living in this world. Expectations do come automatically with any relationship. But one should always remember that these expectations lead to pain. So if we know the cosequences , why do we still expect from people? That's where we should try to control and restrict. It's not very hard if you practice detatchment to some extent. Accept whatever unexpected comes your way. It can be done with some practice and will power and you then dont give a chance to anyone to hurt you. Actually it's YOU who hurts yourself by expecting from others. Have control, practice detatchment to some extent and love everyone. Remember nobody can give you HAPPINESS . It's you who is responsible for your own happiness. The 'key' is in your hands.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Dear Manoshi, Expectation is normal, natural! However, if one takes it as a bungee rope -- expected to be there when you jump, expected to save you from sure annihilation otherwise (sans the rope) but with a little fraction of possibility lurking in your mind that it may not hold you after all, or at the least break your ankle bone but keep you alive, then the bungee rope of expectation takes on a new meaning. It takes on the role of insurance but not guarantee! Insurance cuts our losses, after the fact should the worst happen -- guarantee on the other hand almost promises that the worst will not happen. Warranty, on the other hand, is the insurance that will protect us if the guarantee fails! Extended warranty is in my opinion mostly a rip-off ;-) As long as we have decided to be amongst people, and not all of them spiritual to the core (including many jyotishis!) we need people and we need expectations to weave the societal net that keeps us ensnared. Selfish as it may sound, the important thing is to be able to brush the cobweb of expectations (Maya) off (and again do the same when it comes back, at least initially during our attempts at personal ascent) vigorously until the glass pane is clear and then we realize that there is no glass pane, but that what we deemed to be outside of us is the reality that is inside of us, as any ophthalmologist would know based on his training! Reality is us as a pilot looking out of a cockpit that is cut-off from reality, all of which we sense through our gauges and sensors (the five senses) but not directly! A stroke is all it takes to make us realize that! Ask any doctor or stroke victim!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Dear Manosi, Astrologically speaking: 11th house indicates realisations of your expectations ,your hopes, real friends,gains and assistance received from them. In KP we examine 11th lord. If it is in star or sub of 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 12th your expectations from others will not materilised. Lord of 11th in star and sub of 1, 2 ,3 ,10 ,and 11th , your expectation and hopes will be fulfilled. In general, if lord of 1, 2 ,6 and 11th are stronger than lord of 7th, 8, 12 and 5 , the native will ever gain from his friends.
