Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Dear Group Just saw Harry's mail, where he said that he is unhappy with the present situation. Hundreds of people for whom i made predictions, became unhappy in not less than two months time. Even though prediction goes right, still people become unhappy. I dont blame them. what could be reason? The reason is that we all live lives centered around a particular achievement or institution, person or persons. The soul's true nature is happiness, but in human birth we forget that, and thus we tend to seek happiness from objects, persons and events. But such happiness is not happiness, as it doesnot last forever. Man is a creature of wants and needs. Once the needs and wants are fulfiilled, more needs arise. There is nothing wrong if fullfilling needs, but needs should not be source of happiness. As needs belong to the material plane, and everything in material world as a beginning as well as an end. People expecting children, jobs are happy as soon as they get the thing that they wanted badly, but once that is over, the honeymoon is over. THen the struggle starts and people start wondering what went wrong. My advice to budding astrologers is that not only do you give prediction, but also tell the person that he has to work hard and fend for himself. Give him some empowerment tools, dont allow him to be dependent on you. Only greedy astrologers do that, and the end is that both suffer. GIVE A MAN A FISH and feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a LIFETIME. Regards Partha Partvinu.tripod.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Perhaps the purpose of Jyotishi and even Jyotish is not to make nativities *happy*. In other words, it has no entertainment value other than the fact that that is the purpose for which "your week or month" or "Your Horoscope" columns in newspapers and horrors - astrological magazines including The Astrological Magazine and websites and newsgroups get written. Your post strikes many chords with me, especially the chinese saying about 'fishing or teaching to fish'! Like the alarm clock that wakes us up in the morning, astrology is simply there to wake us up. Not to wake us up happy or to wake us up sad, or even for those of us who would keep hitting the SNOOZE buttons of remedials just to thwart and push back the moment of 'awakening'! Astrology is just an alarm clock. It is true some of them sound better, others are harsher and strident. The purpose is to wake one up. The only indicator of success or failure, insofar as the alarm clock is concerned!!
