Paradox of the Field of Renunciation (for Amit and all)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Amit,

 

Most us here are not sanyassis. We all have jobs and families to

attend to. As such, we need to balance both the inner and outer life

as you have mentioned. For this type of lifestyle, we are better off

to practice Karma Yoga. According to the Bhagavad Gita, it is more

admirable than being a renunciate.

 

The practice of meditation can help maintain the bliss or silence of

the inner life while in the midst of activity. We should keep our

priorities in mind. That is to maintain that bliss first and the

rest of our activities will follow suit. In other words, we as

individuals have the power to influence the environment through our

bliss. We should not be influenced by the environment to determine

our state of inner being.

 

The pursuit of the higher levels of consiousness gives us the freedom

that humans are inherently entitled to. Unfortunately, most people

today are still ignorant of the human potential. This is the reason

why we see much suffering in forms of war, poverty, drug addiction,

and desperation.

 

We encourage you to maintain your meditation practice. If you do,

you will be rewarded in both material and spiritual matters.

 

Regards,

 

John R.

In your horoscope two combinations will lead to spiritulal life and the

combinations are aspect jupiter to lagna lord jupiter is your eight house lord.

mars aspect on your lagna and mars is lord of 12th house. currently you are

having dasha of jupiter. since lord of first house is placed in second house

the house of money you will have a balanced life you will do good in your

career but at the same time you will be detach from the worldly activities.
