Desire for Spiritual endeavours but obstacles encountered (Please help).

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurus,

 

My birth time is between 4 AM to 4:20 AM February 17 1979. Location is

Istanbul. I am desperately trying to further myself in spiritual pursuits

but am facing troubles and obstacles all the time. I have tried my best in

sadhana but god willing I am being pulled into the world of education and

employment all the time. What can I do?

 

At the end of this year my sade sati is approaching also. Is there any way I

can prevent any health problems happening to my mother?

 

Thank you very much,

Derya.

Namaste, Derya

 

Without looking at your chart, I would like to say that one does not

need to make an effort to renounce the world to be spiritual. One can

be active in the world and be as spiritual as the monks in the

Himalyas. Perhaps, the life of a renunciate is not for you. Instead,

you can practice Karma Yoga and be successful in active and inner life

as well.

 

Regards,

 

John R.

Namaste darya

Many times one's understanding of spirituality is not

correct.One can lead intensely spiritual life even

while living in society. That is what Lord Krishna

says in Gita "active in inactivity and silent in

intense activity".Please dont "try desperately" in

spiritual pursuit. What is required is to relax into

yourself, dissolving your thoughts and emotions.

Intense meditative life without any work is not in the

lot of majority of people. Even if you try, your mind

will force you into the world within a week or so.For

such lonely, intensive, meditative life, one's

samskaras( mental tendencies) should be very pure and

very less.Obviously such persons are rarities in this

world. So for us the ordinary mortals, Karma yoga

coupled with Devotion,meditation,a little jnana is the

best thing.

 

Now about your chart.Birth time between 4 and 4.30

involves two lagnas namely Vrischika or Dhanus. So

from Moon sign (chitta 2 pada) you have exalted Mars

in 5th and exalted Guru in 11th. This is very

favourable indication for spiritual progress. You are

currently running Guru dasa. Guru/Ketu will give you

spiritual experiences. In yogini dasa you are running

Rahu from 2006. This will make you visit places, have

interaction with different religious ideas and will

make you do various spiritual practices, may be

tantra.

 

Your spiritual path is traditional Jnana ( devotion to

One god and having intuitive experience of oneness

with IT). Your chart shows you will succeed in it.

regards.

Satya.

Yes it is a possibility. Yet knowing full well that I am not going to be

leaving here alive makes me a bit leery about satisfying my need and greed.

 

What I am looking for is what Tibetans called the short path. Intense

spiritual alchemy in other words. I do not mind sticking out in the active

life as long as I managed to conduct my inner alchemical operations.

 

It is just a matter of priorities. If you inspect my chart (I am a scorpio

lagna). You probably will notice an affliction across 4-10 axis. Which is

preventing me from what I seek at the moment. I am looking for ways to

resolve that affliction in a nut shell.

 

Take care,

Derya.
