Astrology, Numerology, Omen,
Vaastu, Auspicious Hour
Astrology is precise to the
point of what you will eat for the next meal, numerology will be equally
stunning, vaastu may decide your immediate outcome as the auspicious hour. In
one high sense, they are all powerful, exact subtle sciences. Westerners may
not believe as much as we do.
If
you are born in an affluent, affectionate orthodox village family growing paddy
and ragi, and take that way of life as an ideal, you will end up a happy,
prosperous affectionate family of our venerable tradition alienated from any
aspect of modern family. It is not something to be questioned, as it is a
conscious choice. When they compare themselves with another comparable family
that left the village for the metropolis and further journeyed outside of India
after 30 years, the differences in all respects will be apparent. In actual
fact of life and in our emotions we create a curious mixture of both, little
knowing that we get the benefit of neither fully, as these forces cancel each
other, being at cross purposes.
Beyond these obvious common
sense factors lies a great Truth unknown to the Rishis of old or the scientists
of today. There is one great analogy. Monarchy was the life of the King. People
were dirt. Democracy replaced a monarch by a President from the people. Its aim
is in Bharathi's words 'Every citizen is the King of this land'. Sri
Aurobindo declared that the Hour has come, it is the Hour of God. Everyone
who invokes the Spirit is a Rishi in that measure. Astrology, numerology, etc.
are in life and binds us to Nature's determinism. Access to Spirit liberates
man from that bondage and makes life submit to him and serve him. The
natural tendency is to combine both, least knowing that way we lose both, as the
one cancels the other, being in different planes.
As
man has emancipated himself from Nature and self-imposed superstition, NOW man can liberate himself
from the thraldom of life and be its master.
