Astrology
It is an indisputable fact that astrology works. Nobody can dispute
the fact that if your horoscope is correct, you can predict the future,
and you can predict it very accurately - almost from second to second;
but it depends on several factors. First, the horoscope must be perfectly
accurate. Two, the person who is reading it must be a master of the
science. Three, the astrologer must also be intuitive, going beyond
the science, because they are dealing with balances of forces which
have to be intuitively balanced. You cannot weigh them in a balance
and say this is sixty grams, this is forty grams, therefore twenty grams
difference goes to Pluto or Neptune. They are dealing with intangibles.
Therefore they must be very very capable at balancing the forces and
coming to a conclusion.
I found astrology worked even for my Master. So I asked Him, "Are
you subject to the forces of Nature yourself?" He told me, "Even
I permit Nature to act." So, He permits Nature to work on him,
act on him, and this is the most beautiful aspect of Sahaj Marg, because
it is called the "natural way" and everything happens naturally,
including the effect of the predestination on the Master himself, but
only on his physical existence. So the effects of astrology, or what
we call astrology, what we bring into this world as our capital -
the effect of astrology is really the effect of the capital that we
bring into this world] - are fixed only when we do nothing to bring
an external force to change them. That is number one; the second
point is, we cannot change anything ourselves; the third thing is, if
an external force, like a Master, comes into our life, he can change
anything that he wishes to change. The fourth thing is, that if he permits
certain things to happen, it is for our good. He changes only that which
is necessary to be changed for our spiritual growth. And his generosity,
his kindness extends only to our spiritual life.
But the most important fact astrologers forget, their clients also
forget: if something is being done to change that person's life, astrology
will fail, must fail. Now, why does it work in the case of almost every
individual? The reason is that however much a person may try to change
his life himself, he cannot change himself. It is like trying to push
a car from inside. Sitting inside the car, you cannot push the car.
Therefore a person may know all about his or her life but cannot change
the details.
Even if you are trying to change yourself by education, by culture,
by going to therapy, nothing will work. Because of this very important
fact that you cannot change your life yourself. Now what happens, we
come to a Master. We are not trying to change ourselves anymore. He
is changing us. He is a Master. How can astrology work anymore for us?
So, when in trouble, pray to your Master, don't go to astrologers.
