Obstacles are coming always. How to get rid of these Obstacles. How to calm down the mind to take correct descisions? ( Astrology Remedy) Any remedy to set things in order in life? 18th april 1982 6:05 PM Bangalore Dear Jagannatha: " Obstacles " are a particularly unique and precise result of 'consequence' from almighty Saturn. When any Planet is found acting 'malefically', in this case Saturn, in the case of 'accidents', 'fights', 'quarrels', Mars..... we see in the 'consequences' the particular planet that needs to be strengthened! For Saturn, many things that we're doing can produce 'obstacles'. Especially since Saturn is the Planet of 'timings'. So, if we're being out of tune with Saturn we get 'obstacles', or 'frustration' because things aren't progressing as fast as we'd like. It does help to find the exact Jyotish reason why we're encountering these 'obstacles' now, for example. Presently, I'm out of town on Thanksgiving vacation, so I'm not at my home computer. When I get back in a couple of days, I'll look up your chart, and find the Jyotish, 'reasons' why. Could be a transit, more then likely it's also a 'transit'. Many people have been experiencing all kinds of 'obstacles' since Saturn went into Cancer, the home of the mind, and the Moon. Can you say, for how long has this situation been going on? That'll determine whether it's a dasa, transit, or both! In any case, the Solution,... Jyotish remedy, is to strengthen Saturn. And when I say Strengthen Saturn, I mean to increase the Wisdom of Saturn within you! This is always going on, anyway. Over the course of our entire life, the longer we live, generally, it's considered, that Saturn becomes stronger as we! become more mature, due to life's experiences. However, Jyotish, and especially within it's reference to other Vedic sciences, can help us gain particular wisdom about a Planet way before 'the experimental approach' kicks in. Most peole know about the traditional remedies for Saturn. These of course, include, 'gems', 'yantras', even mantras..... but there is also a modern day, Psychological approach to increasing Saturn which can be helpful. Instead of thinking that Saturn's punishing us, or putting those obstacles there for some unknown, bizarre reason,.... if we understand that everything that happens to us, is due to the consequences of our actions... then, we can enliven the mental component of 'us'....! which will start to get to the real reasons, why 'we've' created these obstacles in the first place. Therefore, #1, accepting these obstacles as a 'sign' that Saturn is trying to communicate with us, and therefore, we need to do something, anything really, to adjust,... to let go of our sense of when we should be getting those desires fulfilled for example.... Accepting,.... that this is the natural pace that Saturn and 'Life' has determined we are presently deserving in the march towards the natural fulfillment of our desires..... is the key! Secondly, let's look at these 'obstacles' in a different way. If it's true, that 'they' are the natural consequence of our actions, then, if we want to improve our future consequences, ....then,... we need to do something that'll better 'set' the natural 'sequencing', that these obstacles are representing. What this means, is instead of going 'outwards', and being frustrated, that things are difficult, and full of obstacles, we can take a different angle, and go.....inwards! and going inwards, taking a deep breath, being patient, upon the road of life, meditating, and transcending, which by the way, is the best way..... thereby, after drawing the mind, back, or within, to it's Source... then! coming out, and engaging in outward life again. How often have we been clammering for something,.....trying to remember where we put something, for example, and then we 'give up', momentarily, we put our attention on something else, ....and then, .... boom! that 'thing', or 'memory', pops into our awareness again! Ahhhh, that's his name,...or 'that's where I put that'!.... and in that moment, we have actually reset, or rested some part of the brain, that was being stressed, or pressured, to 'come up' with the answer, and only an 'OBSTACLE' was found.... but...in that forgetting, or letting go,...and yes, in resting,... that obstacle, which was really within our own nervous systems, got relieved, and then, the obstacle to that natural fulfillment of desire got relieved... and boom!, ....behold, the desire got fulfilled.... In this way, all obstacles in life, are found..... They're momentary 'glitches' along the path of life, and if we can only pause, take a moment, rest, rejuvenate, that inner sequencing,.... then we'll find ourselves naturally fulfilling any and all desires in life... Think of life, like it's an archery match. And we want to hit the target, to go forth, without obstacles and strike the target!....but... first, what we have to do is pull back the bow,... we pull the arrow back, upon the bow, and then, with maximum, steadiness, silence even, we let go, and the arrow flys forth.... Like that when we're encountering obstacles,....pull back our arrows upon the bows of our lives...and once rested, let go and let our desires fly forth.... Hope this helps.
