Does Ketu Eclipses the Sun ? Guru Purnima thought: and ...

[Guest guest]

OM Rum Rameshvara Namaha,

 

Dear Sanjayji,

I ponder what you have written and offer some thoughts there of:

you wrote:

" Thought#02: What happens after a person realises his true nature?

Realises that he is veriably that atma and that the atma has

manifested due to desires? He has a few options -

1. He ignores all pain and suffering and works diligently towards

the fulfillment of those desires. [Atmesvara gati]

2. He gives up those desires and continues to exist in his new state.

[Mukti -freedom from the bondage of (the present) desire]

3. He gives up desires and seeks escape from this cycle of rebirth.

[Moksa - freedom from the bondage of rebirth]

4. He gives up desires and seeks union with the penultimate source

from where his real self appeared. [Param padam] "

 

I would suggest that the Sadhu may do the the following:

1. THe realized soul filled with HIM, does the work for HIM.

2. NO thought deed or action is done outside doing ones Dharma.

This Dharma is that which fulfills the sadhu's goal and HIS

goal at the same time.

3. This Sadhu lives in Bliss and Sat-Chit-Ananda.

4. This Sadhu has burned up the 3 gunas - as a seed is roasted

no longer is given to sprout - so his actions are no longer

binding.

5. This individual takes on cosmic status and can now pursue full

knowledge and the cosmic status of his SELF.

 

Pranams,

the Moon is in the latitude as the orbital plane of the earth where

the intersection points are the nodes (Rahu & Ketu). It is this Rahu

that is said to cause the eclipse. Simiarly, the Rahu of our lives

is our own desires and sice Rahu is a node of the Moon (mana), the

desires are the creation of the mind. It is the coming together or

conjunction of the atma (Sun), mana (Moon) and desires (Rahu) that

causes an eclipse or birth itself.

> Just as the brilliance of the Sun is really not diminished during

an eclipse, but not visible from the viewpoint of this earth due to

the shadow, similarly the power of true cognition remains suspended

during the course of life just as it does when a person is asleep

and is unaware of what transpires during his sleeping state. It is

only when one awakens that you realise the world around you. In a

similar way, the atma (self) exists in all purity even though unseen

due to the veil of the maya. And just as a person awakening and

realising that he was asleep and dreaming, similarly, spiritual

awakening causes the person to recognise his true self (atma) and

this is self realisation. Simultaneously he realises that the

previous state was that of ignorance and was untrue in all respects.

> Obeisances to Sri Dakshinamurthy (Siva the teacher), Who (in real

life) is the form of the Guru enabling us to cross over these myriad

dreamy states and finally awaken and realise our true nature, the

eternal truth. That we are spiritual beings (called Atma) having a

material (sareera) experience (mana).

Conjunction ?

> AS I understand, Sun as karaka for first house and body will be

effected adversely due to this conjunction with malefic

Ketu.However, on the level of the Soul, this is a Spiritual

Conjunction, causing SIVA YOGA, making the native go after

spirituality and self realization with all the strenghth of the soul.

What planets cause Solar Eclipse and what does it result to in a

natives' chart.
