Do not speak of anything else; it is all just ashes (sggs 904). </p><p><><><><> </p><p></p><p>Non-apprehension of Reality creates in us misapprehension that we are miserable, limited, helpless, tearful, desperate, weak-minded, fearful and sorrowful individuals. Our non-apprehension of Reality and the consequent misapprehensions are together called Maya — illusion, ignorance, delusion, false ego, conditioned consciousness, wrong identity, etc.). The scriptures conclude that, deluded by doubts and superstitions, most of us (over 99.9 percent) deal throughout our life with this Maya only! </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">iqhI guxI sMswru BRim suqw suiqAw rYix ivhwxI</span>: The world is asleep in the three-qualitied Maya and doubt (<em>Bharam</em>); it passes the night of its life sleeping (sggs 920).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jn nwnk kotn mY koaU Bjnu rwm ko pwvY</span><em>: </em>O servant Nanak, amongst millions there is hardly any mortal, who attains God's meditation (sggs 219).</li> </ul><p>There are many systems of forecasting like astrology, numerology, tarot cards, drawing and reading of horoscope, reading of face, palmistry, palm-leaf manuscripts, and so on. The Gurbani rejects such practice. It's nothing but acting in false ego or Maya; for all calculations are in the three modes of material nature — <em>Taamas</em>, <em>Raajas</em> and <em>Saatav</em>. Those who practice these systems pullulate nowadays both in India and in the West in a futile hope of satisfying their unending lust, greed and selfishness. Since Maya is false, all such practices are false as well. We are urged by the Gurbani not to approve or believe in such Mayaic indulgence. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">pMifq pVdy joqkI nw bUJih bIcwrw</span>: The Pandits and the astrologers study their books, but they do not understand inner inquiry (sggs 970).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">gix gix joqku kWfI kInI]pVY suxwvY qqu n cInI</span>: Calculating and counting, the astrologer draws the hroscope.

In turn — since <em>Vaasnaas</em> produce thoughts and thoughts produce actions — these Vaasnaas seek their exhaustion through further causative or fruitive actions. For which, man moves from one field of activities to another within the span of his life; creating unending barrage of more <em>Vaasnaas</em> in the process. </p><p></p><p></p><p>The system of <em>Jotish</em> is based on the premise that man's these tendencies are recorded under the astrological signs in which he is born. In other words, as indicated by the <em>Jotish</em>, the man takes birth through an astrological conglomeration of signs, also called astrological chart. By reading the astrological charts, <em>Jotishees</em> (astrologists) pretend to predict the future events of one's present incarnation. Card readers, palm readers, face readers, etc., pretend to do the same. </p><p></p><p>The truth of the matter is that the planets or the lines in one's palm or face do not cause the events in an individual's life to which he reacts either positively or negatively. It is our false ego or unenlightened existence that causes us to react, and does not let us stick to the Truth. Thus, all actions result from our mental drawbacks — desires and fears. </p><p></p><p>The infallible Law of <em>Karma</em> (<em>Hukam</em>) holds everyone responsible for what he is or going to be. We harvest exactly what we sow. <span style="color: #000000">If there is a cause, there is an effect. If there is a <em>Karma</em> or activity (cause), there is a reaction or result (effect). This is the <em>Kaarmic</em> principle that brings back the results of one's actions to him, to be worked out later. There is no escape from this Divine Law.</span> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jyhw bIjY so luxY mQY jo iliKAwsu</span>: As the man plants so does he reap; his destiny is recorded on his forehead (sggs 134).</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jyvyhy krm kmwvdw qyvyhy Plqy</span>: One obtains fruits according to the deeds which he does (sggs 317).</span></li> </ul><p>However, a thief, a crook, a liar, a criminal, a materialist (<em>Manmukh</em>), a Maya-ridden (<em>Mayadhaaree</em>) or an ego-man always thinks that he can circumvent the system! Likewise, those who practice or believe in <em>Jotish</em>, etc., also think that they can not only predict the good and bad events in one's future, but, by maneuvering the planetary influence through some paid prescribed actions or rituals, they can also remedy the negative situations or their effects! </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">piV piV pMifq joqkI Qky ByKI Brim Bulwey</span>: The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers read and read until they grow weary, while the fanatics are deluded by doubt (sggs 68).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">pMifq vwcih poQIAw nw bUJih vIcwru]An kau mqI dy clih mwieAw kw vwpwru]kQnI JUTI jgu BvY rhxI sbdu su swru]kyqy pMifq joqkI bydw krih bIcwru]vwid ivroiD slwhxy vwdy Awvxu jwxu]ibnu gur krm n CutsI kih suix AwiK vKwxu</span>: The Pandits read their books, but they do not understand the real meaning. They give instructions to others, and then walk away, but they deal in Maya themselves. Speaking falsehood, they wander around the world, while those who remain true to the Shabad are excellent and exalted. There are so many Pandits and astrologers who ponder over the Vedas. They glorify their disputes and arguments, and in these controversies they continue coming and going. Without the Guru, they are not released from their karma, although they speak and listen and preach and explain (sggs 56).</li> </ul><p>Before the final marriage vows are spoken, or before taking a journey, or before starting a new business, and so on, many pay dearly to <em>Jotishees</em> to judge astrological compatibility of their undertaking. This is one example of how a conditioned, corrupt, materialist or a doubt-ridden mind functions. Under the influence of body-bound inclinations arising from emotional attachment to vanishing worldly objects, one loses his reasoning and discriminating intellect (<em>Viveka Budhi</em>), and end up not knowing Real from unreal. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">lY BwiV kry vIAwhu]kiF kwglu dsy rwhu]suix vyKhu lokw eyhu ivfwxu]min AMDw nwau sujwxu</span>: He (<em>Jotashee</em>) takes payment for performing marriages; reading their horoscopes, he shows them the way.

Who are they trying to teach? Deep within, they are stained with the filth of emotional attachment to Maya; they deal in Maya alone. They love to deal in Maya in this world; coming and going, they suffer in pain. The worm of poison is addicted to poison; it is immersed in manure. He does what is pre-ordained for him; no one can erase his destiny. O Nanak, attuned to the Naam, lasting peace is found; the ignorant fools die screaming (sggs 570-571).</li> </ul><p>Who is likely to worry about good and bad omens? By thinking and worrying about auspicious (<em>Shubh</em> or <em>Sagun</em>) and inauspicious(<em>Apsagun</em> or <em>Ashubh</em>) omens, one falls victim to fear and anxiety. According to the scriptures, those who worry about <em>Shubh</em> or <em>Ashubh</em> are devoid of the Divine Name. As the Gurbani says: they do not have the understanding of the sublime essence of the Divine ( S<em>habad, Naam </em>or Word). Only an Illumined Being is above and beyond the influence of <em>Shubh</em> and <em>Ashubh</em> (<em>Sagan</em> and <em>Apsagan</em>), thus immune from their adverse effects, temptation or spell. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">sgun Apsgun iqs kau lgih ijsu cIiq n AwvY</span>: Good omens and bad omens affect those who do not keep the Lord in the mind (sggs 401).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">eyko nwmu iDAwie qUM suKu pwvih myry BweI]haumY dUjw dUir kir vfI vifAweI]1]rhwau]iesu BgqI no suir nr muin jn locdy ivxu siqgur pweI n jwie]pMifq pVdy joiqkI iqn bUJ n pwie</span>: Meditate on the One Naam, and you will find real Peace, O my Siblings of Destiny.

The Pandits and the astrologers read their books, but they do not understand (sggs 425).</li> </ul><p><em>Jotish</em> or any reactionary <em>Karma</em> can never release man's personality from its misapprehensions. It's the unbroken contemplation on the Divine Essence that can set one free from the dualistic principle of Maya such as <em>Shubh</em> and <em>Ashubh</em>. So long the ego-mind entertains its fancies (mental "filth"), one subjects himself to be cheated by <em>Jotishees</em>, bogus <em>Sants</em> or <em>Saadhus</em>, mentally blind religious scholars, deluded priests or <em>Bhaais</em>, and so on. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">piV piV pMifq joqkI vwd krih bIcwru]miq buiD BvI n buJeI AMqir loB ivkwru]lK caurwsIh Brmdy BRim BRim hoie KuAwru]pUrib iliKAw kmwvxw koie n mytxhwru</span>:After all their reading, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers argue and debate. Their intellect and understanding are perverted; they just don’t understand. They are filled with greed and corruption. Through 8.4 million incarnations they wander lost and confused; through all their wandering and roaming, they are ruined. They act according to their pre-ordained destiny, which no one can erase (sggs 27).</li> </ul><p>Baabaa Nanak spent all his life trying to set us free from doubts, <em>Karamkaands</em> (worldly entanglements), unmeaning rituals and superstitions. He taught us to live by the <em>Hukam</em> (Divine Law), and, thereby, take the life as it presents itself to us. He urged us to live a Divine Life as a Spiritual Being. A spiritual Being is always fearless. Because the Self, our Spiritual Nature, is not a bundle of fear and temptations; it's instead a Blissful-Conscious-Existance. Only upon Realizing this Truth, the moss of doubt (<em>Bharam</em>) will leave us alone. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jn nwnk ibnu Awpw cInY imtY n BRm kI kweI</span>: O servant Nanak, without knowing one’s own Self, the moss of doubt is not removed (sggs 684).</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">gxqY pRBU n pweIAY dUjY BrmIqw</span>: God cannot be obtained by counting; the mortal wanders in doubt (sggs 510).</li> </ul><p>Among the millions of species of living beings (animals, birds, insects and worms), the human being alone is privileged to have the choice of action. No other sentient has this rare capacity and freedom to act. Along with the choice of action, the human being has been also endowed with the power to think and then act. However, in bondage, ignorance and greed we misuse or abuse this capacity and freedom and then blame some outside agency such as God, fate or destiny for <em>Shubh</em> and <em>Ashubh</em> omens. Thus, it's not the fault of Spiritual Masters or the scriptures if we keep falling back into the same "filth" of doubt, again and again. </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">ddY dosu n dyaU iksY dosu krMmw AwpixAw</span>: Dadda: Do not blame anyone else; blame instead your own actions (sggs 433).</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jyhI suriq qyhw iqn rwhu</span>: As is your awareness, so is your way (sggs 25).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jYsw syvY qYso hoie</span>: As you think, so you become (sggs 224).</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jyhI mnsw kir lwgY qyhw Plu pwey</span>: As is the mentality, so is the meed (sggs 116).</li> </ul><p><span style="color: #000000">Our deluded mind is the culprit. If we want to end our misapprehensions once and forever, then the Gurbani's advice is to continuously read the "horoscope" of the mind. This may lead us to a question: since mind is nothing but thoughts-stuff, how can one go about reading its horoscope? </span><span style="color: #000000">What is that tool which can help us read the mind's horoscope? </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000000">The Gurbani has given us a very simple tool for this purpose! Every moment, there is a Spiritual and psychological battle going on between the Soul and the blind sense-infatuated mind under the delusive influence of the false ego. We can invoke this God given power of introspection to review the battle of the day in our mind in order to determine who won the battle - the good or the evil. As scriptures tell us, "good" being that which expresses truth and virtue and attracts the consciousness to God; and "evil" being ignorance and delusion, repels the consciousness from God. Thus, we, the material beings, can realize the All-auspicious within, here and now, only if we side with "goodness" and win the battle between the good and evil inclinations that guide our activities on the external bodily field of action. Maintaining continuos contemplation and association of the <em>Sat</em> (Truth) within and without are sure aids to transcend the fancies of </span><em>Shubh</em> and <em>Ashubh</em>. </p><p></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharHeavy'">jb Awpn Awpu Awip auir DwrY]qau sgn Apsgn khw bIcwrY</span>: Jabb aapan aapu aapi uri dhaarai.

[QUOTE="luthra_sumeet, post: 9454, member: 1236"] Balbir singh ji , I am giving this info from the given link about gurbani's vichar on astrology.I thought it can be very useful in this discussion. [url="http://www.gurbani.org/webart100.htm"]http://www.gurbani.org/webart100.htm[/url] [b][u][size=4][color=#000099]JOTISH[/color][/size][/u][/b] Do not tell lies, O Pandit; speak the Truth. When egoism is eradicated through the Shabad, then one finds His Home, Reality. Calculating and counting, the astrologer draws the horoscope. He studies it and announces it, but he does not understand Reality. Understand, that the Gur-Shabad is above all. Do not speak of anything else; it is all just ashes (sggs 904). <><><><> Non-apprehension of Reality creates in us misapprehension that we are miserable, limited, helpless, tearful, desperate, weak-minded, fearful and sorrowful individuals. Our non-apprehension of Reality and the consequent misapprehensions are together called Maya — illusion, ignorance, delusion, false ego, conditioned consciousness, wrong identity, etc.). The scriptures conclude that, deluded by doubts and superstitions, most of us (over 99.9 percent) deal throughout our life with this Maya only! [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]iqhI guxI sMswru BRim suqw suiqAw rYix ivhwxI[/font]: The world is asleep in the three-qualitied Maya and doubt ([i]Bharam[/i]); it passes the night of its life sleeping (sggs 920). [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jn nwnk kotn mY koaU Bjnu rwm ko pwvY[/font][i]: [/i]O servant Nanak, amongst millions there is hardly any mortal, who attains God's meditation (sggs 219). [/list]There are many systems of forecasting like astrology, numerology, tarot cards, drawing and reading of horoscope, reading of face, palmistry, palm-leaf manuscripts, and so on. The Gurbani rejects such practice. It's nothing but acting in false ego or Maya; for all calculations are in the three modes of material nature — [i]Taamas[/i], [i]Raajas[/i] and [i]Saatav[/i]. Those who practice these systems pullulate nowadays both in India and in the West in a futile hope of satisfying their unending lust, greed and selfishness. Since Maya is false, all such practices are false as well. We are urged by the Gurbani not to approve or believe in such Mayaic indulgence. [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]pMifq pVdy joqkI nw bUJih bIcwrw[/font]: The Pandits and the astrologers study their books, but they do not understand inner inquiry (sggs 970). [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]gix gix joqku kWfI kInI]pVY suxwvY qqu n cInI[/font]: Calculating and counting, the astrologer draws the hroscope. He studies it and announces it, but he does not understand Reality (sggs 904). [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]haumY sBw gxq hY gxqY nau suKu nwih[/font]: All accounting is in egotism. In this accounting, there is no Peace (sggs 36). [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]saux sgun bIcwrxy nauN gRh bwrh rwis vIcwrw]kwmx tUxy AausIAW kx sohI pwswr pwswrw[/font]: Saoun sagan beechaarane naou grah baarah raasi veechaaraa. kkaaman toone aouseeaaan kan sohee paasaar paasaaraa: The life led in the light of omens, the nine planets, the twelve signs of the zodiac; Incantations, magic divination by lines and by the voice is all futile (Bhai Gurdaas, Vaar: 5 Pauree:9). [/list]Reactionary [i]Kaarmic[/i] actions performed in material consciousness create [i]Vaasnaas[/i]: the undigested desires, psychological conditionings, latent memories, innate tendencies, inherent inclinations, self-limitations, dispositions, obstinate clinging to a fancy or deluded imagination, memories or subtle impressions of the past existing in our bosom. In turn — since [i]Vaasnaas[/i] produce thoughts and thoughts produce actions — these Vaasnaas seek their exhaustion through further causative or fruitive actions. For which, man moves from one field of activities to another within the span of his life; creating unending barrage of more [i]Vaasnaas[/i] in the process. The system of [i]Jotish[/i] is based on the premise that man's these tendencies are recorded under the astrological signs in which he is born. In other words, as indicated by the [i]Jotish[/i], the man takes birth through an astrological conglomeration of signs, also called astrological chart. By reading the astrological charts, [i]Jotishees[/i] (astrologists) pretend to predict the future events of one's present incarnation. Card readers, palm readers, face readers, etc., pretend to do the same. The truth of the matter is that the planets or the lines in one's palm or face do not cause the events in an individual's life to which he reacts either positively or negatively. It is our false ego or unenlightened existence that causes us to react, and does not let us stick to the Truth. Thus, all actions result from our mental drawbacks — desires and fears. The infallible Law of [i]Karma[/i] ([i]Hukam[/i]) holds everyone responsible for what he is or going to be. We harvest exactly what we sow. [color=#000000]If there is a cause, there is an effect. If there is a [i]Karma[/i] or activity (cause), there is a reaction or result (effect). This is the [i]Kaarmic[/i] principle that brings back the results of one's actions to him, to be worked out later. There is no escape from this Divine Law.[/color] [list] [*][color=#000000][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jyhw bIjY so luxY mQY jo iliKAwsu[/font]: As the man plants so does he reap; his destiny is recorded on his forehead (sggs 134).[/color] [*][color=#000000][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jyvyhy krm kmwvdw qyvyhy Plqy[/font]: One obtains fruits according to the deeds which he does (sggs 317).[/color] [/list]However, a thief, a crook, a liar, a criminal, a materialist ([i]Manmukh[/i]), a Maya-ridden ([i]Mayadhaaree[/i]) or an ego-man always thinks that he can circumvent the system! Likewise, those who practice or believe in [i]Jotish[/i], etc., also think that they can not only predict the good and bad events in one's future, but, by maneuvering the planetary influence through some paid prescribed actions or rituals, they can also remedy the negative situations or their effects! [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]piV piV pMifq joqkI Qky ByKI Brim Bulwey[/font]: The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers read and read until they grow weary, while the fanatics are deluded by doubt (sggs 68).

They give instructions to others, and then walk away, but they deal in Maya themselves. Speaking falsehood, they wander around the world, while those who remain true to the Shabad are excellent and exalted. There are so many Pandits and astrologers who ponder over the Vedas. They glorify their disputes and arguments, and in these controversies they continue coming and going. Without the Guru, they are not released from their karma, although they speak and listen and preach and explain (sggs 56). [/list]Before the final marriage vows are spoken, or before taking a journey, or before starting a new business, and so on, many pay dearly to [i]Jotishees[/i] to judge astrological compatibility of their undertaking. This is one example of how a conditioned, corrupt, materialist or a doubt-ridden mind functions. Under the influence of body-bound inclinations arising from emotional attachment to vanishing worldly objects, one loses his reasoning and discriminating intellect ([i]Viveka Budhi[/i]), and end up not knowing Real from unreal. [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]lY BwiV kry vIAwhu]kiF kwglu dsy rwhu]suix vyKhu lokw eyhu ivfwxu]min AMDw nwau sujwxu[/font]: He ([i]Jotashee[/i]) takes payment for performing marriages; reading their horoscopes, he shows them the way. Hear, and see, O people, this wondrous thing. He is mentally blind, and yet his name is wisdom! (sggs 471).

Who are they trying to teach? Deep within, they are stained with the filth of emotional attachment to Maya; they deal in Maya alone. They love to deal in Maya in this world; coming and going, they suffer in pain. The worm of poison is addicted to poison; it is immersed in manure. He does what is pre-ordained for him; no one can erase his destiny. O Nanak, attuned to the Naam, lasting peace is found; the ignorant fools die screaming (sggs 570-571). [/list]Who is likely to worry about good and bad omens? By thinking and worrying about auspicious ([i]Shubh[/i] or [i]Sagun[/i]) and inauspicious([i]Apsagun[/i] or [i]Ashubh[/i]) omens, one falls victim to fear and anxiety. According to the scriptures, those who worry about [i]Shubh[/i] or [i]Ashubh[/i] are devoid of the Divine Name. As the Gurbani says: they do not have the understanding of the sublime essence of the Divine ( S[i]habad, Naam [/i]or Word). Only an Illumined Being is above and beyond the influence of [i]Shubh[/i] and [i]Ashubh[/i] ([i]Sagan[/i] and [i]Apsagan[/i]), thus immune from their adverse effects, temptation or spell. [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]sgun Apsgun iqs kau lgih ijsu cIiq n AwvY[/font]: Good omens and bad omens affect those who do not keep the Lord in the mind (sggs 401).

Eradicate egoism and duality, and your glory will be glorious. ||1|| Pause || The angels, humans and silent sages long for this devotional worship, but without the True Guru, it cannot be attained. The Pandits and the astrologers read their books, but they do not understand (sggs 425). [/list][i]Jotish[/i] or any reactionary [i]Karma[/i] can never release man's personality from its misapprehensions. It's the unbroken contemplation on the Divine Essence that can set one free from the dualistic principle of Maya such as [i]Shubh[/i] and [i]Ashubh[/i]. So long the ego-mind entertains its fancies (mental "filth"), one subjects himself to be cheated by [i]Jotishees[/i], bogus [i]Sants[/i] or [i]Saadhus[/i], mentally blind religious scholars, deluded priests or [i]Bhaais[/i], and so on. [list] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]piV piV pMifq joqkI vwd krih bIcwru]miq buiD BvI n buJeI AMqir loB ivkwru]lK caurwsIh Brmdy BRim BRim hoie KuAwru]pUrib iliKAw kmwvxw koie n mytxhwru[/font]:After all their reading, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers argue and debate. Their intellect and understanding are perverted; they just don’t understand. They are filled with greed and corruption. Through 8.4 million incarnations they wander lost and confused; through all their wandering and roaming, they are ruined. They act according to their pre-ordained destiny, which no one can erase (sggs 27). [/list]Baabaa Nanak spent all his life trying to set us free from doubts, [i]Karamkaands[/i] (worldly entanglements), unmeaning rituals and superstitions. He taught us to live by the [i]Hukam[/i] (Divine Law), and, thereby, take the life as it presents itself to us. He urged us to live a Divine Life as a Spiritual Being. A spiritual Being is always fearless. Because the Self, our Spiritual Nature, is not a bundle of fear and temptations; it's instead a Blissful-Conscious-Existance. Only upon Realizing this Truth, the moss of doubt ([i]Bharam[/i]) will leave us alone. [list] [*][color=#000000][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jn nwnk ibnu Awpw cInY imtY n BRm kI kweI[/font]: O servant Nanak, without knowing one’s own Self, the moss of doubt is not removed (sggs 684).[/color] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]gxqY pRBU n pweIAY dUjY BrmIqw[/font]: God cannot be obtained by counting; the mortal wanders in doubt (sggs 510). [/list]Among the millions of species of living beings (animals, birds, insects and worms), the human being alone is privileged to have the choice of action. No other sentient has this rare capacity and freedom to act. Along with the choice of action, the human being has been also endowed with the power to think and then act. However, in bondage, ignorance and greed we misuse or abuse this capacity and freedom and then blame some outside agency such as God, fate or destiny for [i]Shubh[/i] and [i]Ashubh[/i] omens. Thus, it's not the fault of Spiritual Masters or the scriptures if we keep falling back into the same "filth" of doubt, again and again. [list] [*][color=#000000][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]ddY dosu n dyaU iksY dosu krMmw AwpixAw[/font]: Dadda: Do not blame anyone else; blame instead your own actions (sggs 433).[/color] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jyhI suriq qyhw iqn rwhu[/font]: As is your awareness, so is your way (sggs 25). [*][color=#000000][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jYsw syvY qYso hoie[/font]: As you think, so you become (sggs 224).[/color] [*][font=GurbaniAkharHeavy]jyhI mnsw kir lwgY qyhw Plu pwey[/font]: As is the mentality, so is the meed (sggs 116). [/list][color=#000000]Our deluded mind is the culprit. If we want to end our misapprehensions once and forever, then the Gurbani's advice is to continuously read the "horoscope" of the mind. This may lead us to a question: since mind is nothing but thoughts-stuff, how can one go about reading its horoscope? [/color][color=#000000]What is that tool which can help us read the mind's horoscope? [/color] [color=#000000]The Gurbani has given us a very simple tool for this purpose! Every moment, there is a Spiritual and psychological battle going on between the Soul and the blind sense-infatuated mind under the delusive influence of the false ego. We can invoke this God given power of introspection to review the battle of the day in our mind in order to determine who won the battle - the good or the evil. As scriptures tell us, "good" being that which expresses truth and virtue and attracts the consciousness to God; and "evil" being ignorance and delusion, repels the consciousness from God. Thus, we, the material beings, can realize the All-auspicious within, here and now, only if we side with "goodness" and win the battle between the good and evil inclinations that guide our activities on the external bodily field of action. Maintaining continuos contemplation and association of the [i]Sat[/i] (Truth) within and without are sure aids to transcend the fancies of [/color][i]Shubh[/i] and [i]Ashubh[/i].
