Re: Let there be darkness!

 

 

Pujay shri balaji,

 

I always read yr comments, they are very interesting, now since u mentioned

about Ketu -

chhaya graha - moksha karaka - why is that some time person feels - Jagat

Mithia -

although around march /april I had question about the situation in which I am

passing through as it is Ketu Maha dasha -

while number of our respected brothers and sisters did mentioned about M / K .

and i had said that I will let every one know my experience during this period .

Hence as soon as I went through yr comments - i feel writing again -

It is true that all the time I feel like doing prayers and materialistice

world is becoming worthless - when in past I mmentioned that I do not feel

taking any food - it so happened that one of our brother advised me do not give

up - because u may feel weak -

But belive me or not even water and juice is sufficient for me and I am always

full of energy -

In fact some days i sleep on 3/4 hours.

As I pray Mother Kundlini - the thing which is happening within my-self is

very hard to describe

do u know any person from whom I can get a further guidance.

Sorry I should give u my birth details as well in case if u feel going deeper

in the chart.

Almost all religions attach special value to light. Jyotish

itself concerns light, and the fact that it is the eye of the

Veda Purusha strengthens the connection.

 

However, while light is important to most religions, greater

still is liberation. And when we study the concept of liberation

from the Jyotish angle, it throws up a few surprises.

 

For one thing, the Moksha Karaka, Ketu, is a "chaya graha" or a

shadowy planet. Sani, the Vairagya Karaka, is also considered a

planet of darkness.

 

Spirituality is considered lightness by most religions and

materialism is held to be darkness, and so perhaps Rahu being a

chaya graha is apt, since materialism and darkness seem to be

appropriately mixed. However, applying "Sani Vad Rahu," we find

that this need not be always true. Rahu the heretic is capable

of providing spiritual knowledge to some, so even this cannot be

held up as a general rule.

 

What of the givers of the light? Surya is symbolic of the ego.

Though representing the soul, he also represents kings, power,

pelf, and the trappings thereof. His ego therefore blinds him,

makes him seek power and shun equality (Surya attains Neechatva

in Tula because he, being a king, dislikes the concept of

equality represented by the scales). He is, in effect, in

darkness because his own light blinds him!

 

Chandra, who lightens up our lives at night most of the time

except when conjunct Surya, is the mind and represents the

fickleness thereof.

 

Thus, the so-called givers of light are themselves not beyond

scrutiny, and the planets of darkness sometimes serve to

illuminate!

 

In this context, one should consider a line from the Purusha

Suktam, which says, "Chandraama manaso jatash chakshoh Suryo

ajayata," proclaiming that the Moon came from His mind, and the

Sun from His eyes.

 

Chandra, who represents the mind, merely reflects the light of

Surya. We see the light of Chandra and know that we are seeing

the reflected light of Surya. This much we know from science.

 

From a spiritual point of view, we have to realize that, just as

Chandra reminds us of Surya by reflecting his light, the mind

should remind us about the soul.

 

But, alas, the mind is weak. It relies on the sense organs. It

needs the eyes to tell it that there is light, being incapable

of perceiving light for itself. Therefore, the mind, dwelling

upon the light seen by the eyes, forgets that the light of the

soul is far greater that the light seen by the eyes.

 

This is where the karakas of darkness, like Ketu, Sani, and even

Rahu perhaps, come in. They overcome Surya and Chandra, thus

negating the idea that light is what the eye sees. Then in the

darkness, the mind can realize that the light of the soul is

greater.

 

The mind then perceives the soul, and just as Chandra's

reflected light reminds us of Surya, similarly the soul reminds

the mind of the Super Soul, the Supreme Being.

 

In this context, Ketu, when conjunct Surya during an eclipse,

robs the latter of his pride - light - and makes him realize

that, more than light and ego, he, Surya, actually represents

the soul. In this context, one could be permitted to interpret

"Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya" could indicate the light of the soul

that illuminates the mind when the light that the eye sees is

withheld.

 

The light that all the religions refer to concerns not the light

that the eye perceives. It concerns the light of the mind. And

the mind stands illuminated when the eye perceives darkness,

because the mind has to then look inward, not outward.

 

So, let there be darkness - so that the mind, no longer being

capable of relying on the eye for direction, seeks to understand

the soul, and then slowly seeks refuge in the Super Soul!
