Astrology!! Numerology!! Believable or not?

At Casuarina beach, Monday, 13th April


How much are we affected by this systems, beliefs or traditions?

Do we want numbers or stars to rule us? Or do we want to rule our own life?

Why don’t we question when astrologer says something good about us? And why we are reluctant to believe him when he says something bad is going to happen? Or why we believe him at first place?

Because we allow someone who we think has enough knowledge of these systems to decide our future?

But is the future predictable? If it is, then what is the fun living this life? If I already knew that this will be the path of my life and I have to walk on it, what is the fun living this life? No exploration or adventure? If somebody tells me that, in 2010, I’m going to be rich, what should I do? To work on it, or just to sit thinking that, mate! I’m going to be rich no matter what! Coz, my astronomer says so, or my destiny says so!

What I believe is that there is no greater power than love or God. Then, why do we believe in something (Astrology) about which we don’t know enough?

I guess astrology only works on us, if we want it to work. It means, it is not the astrology, it is our attitude and thinking which works.

What if there was no existence of astrology or Numerology?

How the hell can we or can anyone know the future? How the hell can I know that my marriage with this girl is going to work or not in advance? Why does divorce happen? I’m not married so I don’t have any experience in this regard! But logic says that, marriage only doesn’t work, if we don’t know how to work it out! Those who chose to take divorce don’t know how to find the solution or how to work it out and those whose marriages work know how to work them out if there is any problem.

Which couple doesn’t have any problem? If they say they don’t, they are lying or they are abnormal!

Swami Vivekananda says “If you don’t find a problem in a day, believe that you are going in a wrong direction”. That problem can be small or big or whatever it is. And if not a problem, then a difference of opinion. But where doesn’t the difference of opinion exist? Everywhere.

As it exist everywhere, it solution exists too. Solution – Mutual understanding.
I am not ending this post! Coz this is never ending! I’m just leaving it anywhere- don’t know where!
