Part 2 : Life is not fair
Truly and honestly,
when we observe people's lives around us, we feel it needed to
acknowledge that life is not fair. I
have repeatedly seen that complete innocent people suffer for no
reason and people doing all sort of unfair and immoral activities
enjoy all sort of happiness. Is this fair? I have seen one's wife
who has been proved to be most loving and faithful leaves him and
his children for another man and how the
husband destroys him little by little after that, and it is very
difficult to believe such events even after they happen in life.
It would be a lot more difficult to believe if it happens to you
or to someone close to you. You will question yourself, "What
did I do? Why this had to happen to me? Why this punishment?"
You will often wonder if you are in an endless dream which is
seeming to be real, because the reality would be too cruel to be
believed. It will lead you to the condition where you will
seriously start to doubt if there exists someone called God at
all. Because if God is really there, how can he tolerate all these
unfairness and punishes people for nothing? I have seen a few people
getting religiously inclined for the pains life has given them,
but they are very few in number. Most people lose all their
potentials and destroy themselves little by little when they are
continuously hurt over and over. Committing suicides and getting
in to drugs are what we see, but we often fail to see the
destruction going inside.
Even before getting in to Jyotish I
have dealt extensively with people's lives, and that always led me to the
impression that what in general we know and believe about life,
destiny and God is not true, can never be true. There are some
serious incorrect information about the things we are taught from
our boyhood, like pray to God he will listen to you, do good things
and God will be kind towards you, etc. etc. Good deeds are not
rewarded the way we expect nor bad deeds are punished right away.
I have dealt with a large number of human lives and saw that most
of the times the innocent people are the victims of the misfortune
and problems.
This world is full of unfairness and full of cruelty. This world
is a very bad place and everyone is so selfish. All sort of unfair
things are possible to happen in anyone's life.
In my life a few of the
prayers were answered by the God but a lot more were unanswered same
time, including the most intense and serious prayers and pleas to
him that I submitted waking all nights with long and tiring
worships. Surprisingly, all those subjects of prayers took a route
of most miserable ends with the course of time.
And observing all
these, I always felt that there is some things, some truth, some
facts about destiny and life-mechanism that we never know. There
is a hidden system that works behind all these things happen to
us. It responds to each and every act we perform, but it does not
respond the way we expect, rather it has it's own system and nature of
responding to us. Only those who can knowingly or unknowingly tune up or adjust
with this system are happy and others are unhappy, does not matter
how innocent or how qualified they are.
I know that many
people would not agree to me and would call this world to be a
beautiful place. I do not declare them to be wrong. Because,
people believe what they experience. Some believe life to be fair because
unfair things did not happen to them that much. And they are lucky that is
why nothing wrong happened to them. I have always seen that being
rich, happy or successful does not prove your qualification or innocence but
it just proves your fortune. Because it has been my constant
experience from people's
lives that without fortune one is not
rewarded for his qualification nor for his goodness as a human
being.
That is why when I think of one's life, I see it as a person driving a car
through a highway. Simply how good you drive, you can never assure
that you would not be caught down with an accident because accidents
do happen for others' faults where we have nothing to do than just
taking part in it or just being present in it. Similarly in life sometimes we do nothing
wrong but for others' mistake we fall the victim of condition and
have to pay, and we find no ways to get out of these. Oppositely sometimes we get a lot more rewards than
we actually deserve.
All these confusions of
me only found true and practically effective answers when I got in
to Jyotish and started to realize how life works. Basically,
Jyotish is the set of rules that operate our lives. God had to
make a lot of rules when creating this universe. As an example he
set the gravity for which anything falls in to the ground. The
earth pulls us toward it, the sun pulls the earth and other
planets toward it. When we press our hand in to a wall, it gets obstructed by
the wall and does not pass through it instead. When the
temperature can be lowered then the water would turn in to ice...
there are innumerable laws of up on which the creation is getting
maintained. We are discovering and controlling these more and more
with science. But actually there are a lot more 'laws of nature'
that physics etc. cannot reach or explain. Those rules cannot be proved
by scientific theories but only by observing lives they prove
true. Those are the rules that operate our lives. And the set of
those rules is called Jyotish. And in Hinduism it has been
described the same, when Lord Brahma created this universe then he
received the knowledge of the material creation from Lord Vishnu a part of which was
Jyotish or Vedic Astrology. Vedic Astrology was not discovered or
developed by people or scientists but just was received from the
God, who created this universe and told us the rules of this
universe. And if you study even a little of Jyotish you will see that it's
nature and structure is something like that what cannot be
developed by human effort.
When we realize this
fact and also apply Jyotish theories to our lives then we see
whatever is happening to our lives are happening as per the
horoscopes of us i.e. the Jyotish. Then it answers all sort of
questions and confusions I talked about. It answers that God is
not unfair, nor he is cruel to make you suffer, but you are just
experiencing everything according to the karma you have performed
in your past births. It shows that God is not bothering to punish
you but he has set a complete set of rules over your head and each
of the events happens to you for you perform a particular action
to make the event happen. It is like the echo, the sound you make,
it reflects accordingly up on you. However this echo does not
reflect as we generally expect it to do, such as work hard and you
will be rich, study hard so that you do good in studies, and so on. Because we see that working hard cannot always
make someone rich nor studying hard ensures a good grade in your
exams. (As I said, most unfair things happen.) And
so these things happen as per the karma or destiny you have been
carrying from the previous births. In general they do not happen
for what you are doing now, and the exception is performing
remedial measure, when you know what sort of action is going to
react in which way, and then you do accordingly. It is not
engaging 'worldly efforts' to get something done that often fail,
but it is about working with the mechanism and the core rules.
Because you know the basic rules and know what sort of action will
carry what sort of reaction from the nature, since you know the
rules of creation. And when you start realizing this, you will see
that trying with worldly efforts is like blind efforts, because
that might be or might not be fruitful, (depending upon the
horoscope, that shows the destiny most of the times.) but when you
work as per the rule of nature or creation, you get it done.
However the observation
that worldly efforts often work is also true, but only partial.
Worldly or material effort would mean the efforts we generally
make, like going to see the doctor when we have a health problem,
etc. Actually, the fact is that, going to doctor is actually an
excuse the planets are making to let the incident happen. It is a way or
medium the work is getting done. More elaborated, with serious
misplacement of planets, a person would not have even the money or
scope to visit the doctor. A better planetary position, he would
visit the doctor but still health problem remains. A normal
position, he visits the doctor and gets his solution. Much better,
his health problem goes away from it's own even before he visits a
doctor. The best position - he does not have any health problem.
(In a particular time only, because all of us would fall in to
health problems more or less in our lives. But, how frequently and
seriously the health troubles would occur would be caused by the
horoscope.)
Thus an experienced
astrologer who deeply watches lives would see that actually it is
the planets making the person undertake different worldly efforts
to solve his problems. It is the strength of evil planets verses
the strength and placement of beneficent planets which would
decide how and when the problem would be solved and also how
easily. As I explained with the example of visiting the doctor
concerning a health issue.
Jyotish explains how the nature responds to
each of your actions in a particular way, according to a set of
rules. As I said, many of my serious prayers were not accepted and
those subjects took a shape of miserable ends at last. There is
nothing to blame God for not listening to me, nor to blame the
people who acted to 'materialize' the events in this world, nor my
prayer was insincere or anything. Because when I consult my
horoscope, it clearly and prominently shows those areas of life
worsening in the exact time periods when it happened in real. So
actually it is not that the God did not listen to me, but the
things just happened the way they were supposed to happen, and
also in the exact time frame. Also, I see that the results of my
successful prayers were also to happen as per my horoscope. So not
my prayers granted them for me. So it all shows that prayers etc.
is not going to affect the life but whatever is to happen would
happen. By simple prayers and other good deeds we cannot get
something done. But there are systematic keys to all these. As an
example a password protected file in your PC would need the exact
password to open it and does not matter whatever you do, it would
not open. Even deleting the file itself is not the answer.
Similarly in our life each and every problem needs a password, a
specific action to be done to solve it. Otherwise whatever you do,
it would not work because it just needs the correct answer, or
step of action to get it accomplished. And a good knowledge in
Jyotish or Vedic Astrology tells us a lot of passwords to open
many files i.e., solve many of our problems. Otherwise even
deleting the file itself, or a suicide is no solution.
As per Hinduism, God
has given us Jyotish to deal with the life, karma and destiny and
this is just the set of rules controlling our lives. God knows
them the best and not us. So we should follow his path. The
manufacturers of your PC knows the best how to operate it and take
care of it, you must follow their instructions to operate it.
Jyotish answers such
questions why people act so cruel to you sometimes. It shows us
the divine miracle that each of us act in a very planned and
controlled way to build the destiny as it was planned. You will
surprisingly notice that whatever had to happen to you as per your
horoscope is exactly happening, and to make them happen in the
planned way, the people around you are behaving in a complete
planned way! Your fate is composed by the activities of people
related to or around you, and their action and reaction about you
is just what is indicated in your chart. That is why when a 'have
been faithful wife' leaves you being most unbelievably cruel and
showing dramatic infidelity, you will actually see that both your
horoscopes indicated something like that in that time! Thus
whatever we do is planned and is used to make the destiny of us
and people around us. In other words if you are killed then it is
just your destiny to be killed and you need a person in your life
who will kill you. And the person who will kill you carries a
destiny to kill someone and he needs someone in his life to kill.
So you play a role in his life by being his victim and he plays a
role in your life by killing you. And these two events in your
horoscopes are set to happen on the same day same time, and so you
meet and the conditions runs to that stage to make it possible!
It's all about playing
different roles in each other's lives, and that is why in Hinduism
it has been said that this Samsara (life in world) is actually a drama or role
playing, we play roles in each others lives and learn our lessons
this way. That is why we really do not do anything but we are made
do all the things. So basically and truly, you really can not
blame anyone for whatever they did to you, all you can blame is
your destiny or fate! That is why we often say stuff like,
"Even such a nice person like him did this to me, this is all
my fate!" And this is very true. The agents of karma, the
nine planets make people do all the things to you, as either
reward or punishment. That is why
even a most faithful wife can do most immoral act, but actually it
is not her fault, but both your destiny say so through your
horoscopes. That is why the sages and enlightened personages like
the saints never blame anyone for anything, nor they hate anyone
or get angry at anyone ever, because they all see it clearly that
it is not our fault. And though many of us see it, but can not act
as per it, being limited with maya and illusions, and the desire
toward all happiness and joy etc. That is the difference between
them and us. They practice non attachment while we attach
ourselves more and more to this race of greed and meanness.
That is why, how much
cruel or unfair someone behaves to you, or the whole world behaves
cruel to you - no point to blame them or there is even no benefit
to do so. If your horoscope says being cheated then you can really
not blame anyone and even dealing with most honest people will
result being cheated, even he might not do it intentionally. So
there is no benefit blaming anyone or doing anything unless you
focus upon the central cause, or the central system administrating
all these in a particular way. And that you can do only through
Jyotish. When you will look at your horoscope you will be
definitely seeing the problems were to happen, and then you will
see the actual cause for this, i.e. the agents of karma who do all
these, and then when you will put effort in the 'real way' i.e.
performing Jyotish remedies, you will see how easily and
surprisingly the problems get easier or sometimes even get
completely wiped off. And it all will happen in a way that you
will understand the changes started taking place after you did the
remedies, i.e. the positive events happened for the remedies and
if you did not perform them, they would not have been happened so.
You will surprisingly observe how people's reaction and behaviour
to you changes surprisingly. For misfortune a most honest person
can unintentionally end up cheating on you and for remedies you
will rather see a most wicked sort of person is going fine with
you. For remedies, you will see how easy everything becomes to you
to handle. And then success and happiness will seem easy to you,
and you will realize one ultimate truth that though a person works
with qualification, he can not get his reward unless the nature
responds to him.
There is a saying that
only losers and failures believe in fate. In
practical I have seen it to be true to some degree. Because only
an unsuccessful person who actually deserves to be successful sees
and realizes how fate and destiny weighs him down all the times.
Doing everything in the right way he can not get his goal and only
then he realizes the truth. On the other hand the nature responds
to each action of a successful person that is why it all seems to
be easy to him and he 'perceives' that he is doing all these
by his effort, but actually it is the nature to decide to who's
effort it will respond. That is why sorrow, pains, problems,
difficulties can teach us so much true lessons and facts that
happiness and joy can never do. And that is why sorrow,
difficulties, pains are all ruled by the eighth house in astrology
which also does rule the ultimate truth and also spirituality and
loneliness. That is why most of the spiritual people have achieved
the ultimate spiritual realizations through pains, grief,
loneliness etc. This is just a mere example how facts around us
are astrologically justified.
