Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Dear All Reason for this posting: I keep seeing anti-wealth insinuations on the List, of & on. Some astrologers take pride in negating the importance of our duty to earn & accumulate wealth. This biases client-communication, potentially leading to harmful guilt-trips, in turn leading to harmful behaviour in various fields of life, triggered by this subconscious guilt-trip. Given that in most of India, our well-meaning parents keep telling our children not to think of money but learning, in the growing up years, this astro-buttressing of an already-formed deep-rooted guilt-trip, is dangerous. Correct attitude: Ref Pt Rath's story: 1 of the Trinity (I forget which) assured Indra (king of Gods) that the Asuras would eventually lose all the wealth they've gained, as they were carrying Lakshmi (Ve) on their heads while carousing around victoriously. And that Her rightful place was on the thighs (= Sg= Jp). Note another meaning of same story= partner (Ve) to be cared for on one's lap. Remedy: Pt Rath instructs that a reading is incomplete without advising remedies. So: 1. Donate without keeping back: Atleast once/ week, take the 1st note/ coin from your wallet to give the 1st beggar u meet. DONT decide the denomination (too big/ small), who to give (their perceived need, eg only to the handicapped), what to give (eg biscuits to children versus money: that can be additional, & different from this exercise). Dont rationalise anything, eg this money would go to their mafia-protectors anyway. Such rationalisations would TIE up the otherwise-undiluted act of giving to your SELF 2. Respect Lakshmi: Have realistic expectations of the amounts you actually need to earn to sustain responsibilities you have consciously vowed to undertake, & that to be kept for emergencies, family's future, etc. And unaffected by others' expectations of the same. 3. Respect the helpers of Lakshmi: a) give your Best to the Source of your income (= Jp= Ve's exaltator), with minimal expectations (Ref Gita: delinking of effort-reward equation). b) beware when u get too much too suddenly (= Mc= Ve's debilitator). Ref the Gita again: delinking of reward to effort equation. c) invest wisely (= stable Ta & balanced Li) keeping in mind the "Respect Lakshmi" para above. Use the help of Ve's friends, ie Mc's skills, St's discipline. Note Lakshmi's vehicle= the wise owl who sees (at night) ahead (which others dont), ie speculates (literally translated from the Latin speculare, as "see ahead").
