Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Respected gurus, My guru says that we should live only in the present moment. According to him the past is dead and the future is a hallucination. We should live conciously in the present moment and respond in the present moment from the core of our Being. We should not concern ourselves with the past and the future. How should one reconcile this with astrology??? Vinita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Vinita, Namaste, This is the description of how an "enlightened" person lives his life in the higher states of consciousness. He does not regret the past, and he does not worry about the future, takes life as it is coming to him, and does whatever is correct to do as life unfolds before him. However this does not rule out planning for, or taking precautions about the future, that would not be "wise" to do. If the radio says that today there will be rain, the "wise" will take an umbrella along, not to get wet, which would not be wise. This is what Jyotish is about; foresee the future and take precautions, e.g. remedies. "Heyam Duhkam Anaagatam", meaning; "Avert danger not yet come or Avert the danger which has not yet come", (Yoga Sutra 2.16) Jyotish was and is one of the main branches of Vedic Culture/Wisdom the purpose of which is to bring happiness to mankind, e.g. to show the way to live in happiness, abundance and fulfilment. Other branches mention about how to reach higher levels of consciousness for happiness. Also, it is not enough only to think about "how one should live life" e.g. not to worry about the past etc. These are intellectual guidelines, and are ofcourse very valid and needed, BUT, to live and actualy experience that, one needs to transcend daily reality, (thought, action etc.) the techniques and methodology of which is again to be found in the Vedic Literature, or learned from a Spiritual Guru.
