Hello all,

 

Maybe there is symbolism everywhere. Like in the following song

which is absolutely lovely......

 

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

 

There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

 

There's a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook

There's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

 

There's a feeling I get

When I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who standing looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

 

And it's whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.

 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the may queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

 

Your head is humming and it won't go

In case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How ev'rything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

 

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Dear Vinitaji,

It is beautiful!! But I think -

" we should build the stair way the heaven we know " rather

than " buying the stairway to heaven " ;)

Thanks for giving us that very good song. :) Yes, I too think that

it is symbolic and there is hidden meaning inside. :)

I join hands with Nalini to say " WOW " :)

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Shreenadh,

 

I agree with u 100 per cent!!!!! We should BUILD our stairway....

(Can't think of how one could be " buying " a stairway to

heaven....though i thought i could understand a little bit why " all

that glitters is gold " ).

 

Love,

 

Vinita

Dear Vinita ji,

That is interesting. :)

> i thought i could understand a little bit why " all

> that glitters is gold "

I don't think 'all that glitters is gold'. But for sure, if some

thing is gold, even if it does not glitter, it is valuable for

sure. ;)

Let us chip away the impurities, and refine the knowledge of

astrology as Mihira states in the opening verse of Brihat

samhita, " Like melted gold " let our knowledge become pure, refined,

and let us be bold in upholding the truth we find. If not worthy let

it evaporate into thin air - and we are happy. :) Let us joyously

enjoy the exercise.

" we should build the stair way to the heaven we know "

Two things are pre-requisites here.

1) We should know how to build the stair way.

For this we first need to collect the raw material. As for as

astrology is concerned our stair way is a logical one, and the raw

material is the knowledge inputs and thoughts by the ancient Rishis.

In short the whole available knowledge about astrology.

2) We should know the heaven before hand!

This means that, instead of believing or disbelieving in a

subject, naturally the TRUST should develop. We never believe in Sun,

but we TRUST because we know that it is a reality. Yes, but this

comes from experience and daily interaction. If we have seen somebody

using the tool of astrology is a very effective manner producing

astonishing results, or if we ourselves were able to do that then

only that trust originates/forms. (For people in Kerala, I think

still that chance remains, I think. Anybody who has seen a good Deva

Prasna in Temples of Kerala where 3 to 10 astrologers interact each

other discussing the various aspects of astrology will agree to this

I hope)

But yes, there are big gaps in between - Between the accepted

knowledge of science and the system of astrology. Plus, the

astrological system itself is now in a corrupted state.

So what we should try to do is to bridge this gap using the logical

stairway we build using the raw materials collected form the ancient

classics. Yes, since we have to bridge it to the knowledge today, we

would have to have the systematic idea of the current knowledge as

well. :)

I hope you would agree. ;)

Let us join hands in this search, in this effort, in this sincere

research for reestablishing the value of an ancient thought system,

the holistic approach - and its child, astrology. It is not

everything and perfect in all ways – but, yes, for sure there is

something worthy. And even if it is a lone piece of real gold, among

thousand junk superstitions, (things that glitters), let us give it

its true credit, to enjoy the impartial happiness. :)

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Shreenadh!

 

I simply loved that!!!

 

For me too all that glitters (has the light of God reflected on it)

is gold and is worth pursuing.The stairway we can build, or buy,

that is not material......non material? :););)

 

Love,

 

Vinita

Dear Vinita, Sreenadh ji,

Meta physical and spiritual I would say!!

As long as the stairway is strong fundamenatlly, it would serve the

purpose it is built for with *investing* our all into it, like

srenadh ji said, else it would crumble ignomiously.
