Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Dear Shreenadh, all! I was just thinking that if we keep in mind the following two things: 1. Whatever is now will never remain the same 2. Whatever happens next, is for my own good, let me accept it completely ( " Thy will be done " ) the relevance of astrology disappears completely. VAMOOOOOZ! Or is there there something more to the study of this subject that i am missing??? Would love to hear from all of u. Luv, Vinita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 dear vinitaji in my humble opinion, astrology and planets are meaningless for a REALISED person, for he knows the REALITY, SAT OR GOD. lord krishna in gita says vedas are meaningless for a realised person. here the interpretation actually means all these scriptures are useless or needless for a realised person, for he knows the reality that is preached in those texts. to put in layman's language, a realised person (god)like jagatguru adi shankaracharya ji marches from kerala down in the south to badarinath in the upper himalayas in the north, illuminating the whole path, spreading the light of knowledge and the entire path or route itself is sanctified by such divine soul's footprints. in contrast ordinary mortals are so attached to the waiting room at the platform, then so attached to the temporary berth (which was others yesterday and would be others tomorrow) and even when the train is carrying him, he thinks he is performing the journey and he is directing the journey. with best wishes pandit arjun , " vinita kumar " <shankar_mamta wrote: > > Dear Shreenadh, all! > > I was just thinking that if we keep in mind the following two things: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Dear Pandit Arjun ji, " in my humble opinion, astrology and planets are meaningless for a > REALISED person, for he knows the REALITY, SAT OR GOD. " Of course!!! And sometimes these REALISED persons try to tell the same thing to unrealised persons. For instance, this is exactly what my Guru tells us. The secret is to *ACCEPT* the INEVITABILITY OF THIS MOMENT (Sorry, Verna!)while retaining 100 per cent capacity to respond to this moment in an " aware " manner (or so my guru says). Whenever we don't fully accept the inevitability we run here and there, blame this or that, or pray for the sting to be taken out of fate. (But when things are going fine, we don't want it any other way). So when we run to an astrologer to find out something (i.e., when the bad times will be over, or how better times can come) we are indulging in some weakness, don't u think??? But i agree that astrology is much more than what it is " used " for by most of us. Osho describes it as a huge grand palace which was constructed in the ancient times. Only some remanents / ruins can be seen of this today. Can we map the grandeur of this palace based on the present day ruins??? Specially when tri kal dristi is almost absent?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Dear Shreenadh, Yap, (to borrow your expression), what u say is very true. But then all roads lead to Rome - once we are on the path! Astrology is one of the many roads.

Remember, accepting the inevitable and living in the moment in almost impossible for the common man. The duty of the astrologer is to - > * Prepare the people to accept the inevitable. > * Help them and console them in their troubles. > * Give them directions to overcome the troubles in life. > " Astrology Springs Out Of Total Compaction Of Saints Towards The Suffering World " > Enlightenment is a distant dream; and common man is not after it and most of them misses any such experience; They have a thousand desires, and don't want to pursue enlightenment due to their own limitations. Accepting this as a fact; what can be done for the sake of humanity?! May be this is the question that prompted saints to gave rise to the system of astrology. Yes, no doubt then, the saints can not avoid hiding the path to enlightenment with in the astrological system. When one truly pursue astrology, many questions evolve in his mind, and he gradually realizes where the saints points to. > Love, > Sreenadh > > Dear Shreenadh, all! > > > > > > I was just thinking that if we keep in mind the following two > > things: > > > > > > 1.
