The role of personal behavior and choices in jyotish (for Mary and Das)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Mary, Das and all:

 

Personal behaviour is actually the manifested form of our thinking.

To change the behaviour, one needs to change the thinking process.

However, our thinking is produced by the mind which is a mechanical

system that is subjected to the various impulses of Nature (the

gunas).

 

As David Frawley observes, our thinking or thoughts are materials

akin to rocks. Thought is matter and as such is conditioned. That

is, it imposes limitation on a person's perspective. This is the

reason why thought when processed into dogma can become lethal.

Thus, we see the wars, religious clashes and suicide bombers that we

see today in Iraq and elsewhere in the world.

 

Therefore, thought as a basis for changing behaviour is not the

answer to the world problems. The answer to changing behaviour is

the eradication of thoughts! In other words, we need to stay close

to our true Self. The rishis of the past have referred to this as

bliss consciousness, Nothingness, or Emptiness. As such, we can be

nourished by the fountain of creation, the power of the divine.

 

Regards,

 

John R.
