Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 “It is all right. Why not? If one accepts the theory of karma, one will have to accept the theory of astrology and horoscope also.” Source: DAY BY DAY WITH BHAGAVAN From the Diary of A. DEVARAJA MUDALIAR 20th September, 1948 Questioner: “Swami! According to astrological science,predictions are made about coming events, taking into account the influence of the stars. Is that true?” Bhagavan: “So long as you have the feeling of egoism all that is true. When that egoism gets destroyed all that is untrue.” Questioner: “Does it mean that astrology won’t be true in the case of those whose egoism is destroyed?” Bhagavan: “Who is there to say it won’t be true? There will be seeing only if there is one who sees. In the case of those whose egoism is destroyed, even if they appear to see they do not really see. The window is open. Questioner: “You say that what is to happen will happen and what is not to happen will not happen; if that is so, why should it be said that good deeds must be done?” Bhagavan: “If something good is done, it results in happiness. Hence people say good deeds must be done.” Questioner: “Yes. That is why elders say that sorrow is adventitious.” Bhagavan: “That is so. Sorrow is adventitious. It is only happiness that is natural. Every living being desires happiness because his natural state is the embodiment of happiness. All sadhanas (spiritual efforts) are for overcoming adventitious sorrow.
