Y.C.Shukla

Once Lord Buddha was sitting with a rope in his hand . His disciples were curious to know what he would do with that rope . He tied 3 knots in that rope and then asked his disciples ” Is it the same rope now ?”.  A disciple said ” Though externally it appears changed due to 3 knots but internally , it remains the same rope .” 

Then Lord Buddha said that he wanted to open up those 3 knots and for that he started pulling rope from both ends . After failing to untie the rope, he asked again ” Can these knots be opened by pulling from both the ends ?” 

The disciple said  ” No, No , that will further tighten the knots !”

Lord Buddha asked the disciple way to untie those knots . 

The disciple said ” To untie these knots , I will have to see how these knots were tied and then only we can untie them .”

Lord Buddha said ” That is the fact which people do not understand ! People want to solve their problems without knowing how the problem was created . They want instant solutions , without going deeper into their behaviour and want to untie the knots by pulling both ends forcefully , which only worsens the problem. ”

   Astrology helps in understanding how the problem was created . Every problem we face has two dimensions : At seed level and then at environment level . If these two do not match then crop would not grow . For seed , we need to know the horoscope and for environment , we need to know habits and working environment of a person.  

  Swami Sivananda tells sequence from Karma to Destiny in above image :       Action→Tendency →Habit→Character→Destiny

And this destiny map is available like company’s annual balance sheet via our Birth Chart . If we want to change this destiny for better , we need to know current accumulation , habits , character which a birth chart clearly explains and then we need to change our actions & habits so that we can change our destiny .

That is why I do not recommend quick short cut remedies and recommend behaviour modification after looking at your chart to change destiny , similar to doctor recommending lifestyle changes based on your medical test report .
