"What is Astrology?" - Sadhguru

  • 0:29 - 0:36
    [Sadhguru] Whats astrology? The position of the planets deciding the course of your life, fundamentally.
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    See, every object has a certain influence on you.
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    Right now, there is a vessel here. This is modern science.
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    Every form has a vibration of its own.
  • 0:49 - 0:55
    The whole existence is a vibration as far as the science is concerned, isnt it? You know this?
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    So, this vessel is a certain kind of vibration.
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    Naturally, its animating a certain field around itself.
  • 1:04 - 1:12
    So, if I allow myself to be too much influenced by this vessel, slowly I will become like this dumb vessel.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    Objects around you can influence you.
  • 1:16 - 1:21
    So, if this vessel can influence you, definitely the huge planets.
  • 1:21 - 1:28
    They must be exerting some kind of influence on you, but this influence is like this.
  • 1:29 - 1:35
    Suppose there is somebody who is mentally imbalanced, do you know on full moon nights
  • 1:35 - 1:42
    and new moon nights, they become more pronounced in their imbalance?
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    You are aware of this? Hmm? You are aware of this?
  • 1:48 - 1:53
    So, full moon nights and new moon nights, do you all go crazy?
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    Yes ma, you do? [laughs]
  • 1:57 - 2:01
    Even the ocean is going crazy on those nights, isnt it? Yes?
  • 2:01 - 2:07
    The ocean is going crazy on full moon nights and new moon nights, but do you go crazy?.
  • 2:07 - 2:14
    No. Many nights, probably you pass without even knowing its full moon or new moon, isnt it?
  • 2:15 - 2:21
    So, compared to that person who gets into an imbalance simply because of the position of the moon,
  • 2:21 - 2:26
    you are little more established, little more in balance
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    that the position of the moon does not influence the course of your life,
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    but for that person, the position of the moon for the sailor
  • 2:33 - 2:38
    and the psychologically imbalanced person, for both of both of them,
  • 2:38 - 2:43
    the course of their life is influenced by the position of the moon, isnt it?
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    But, you are not like that.
  • 2:45 - 2:51
    You are capable of being free from the moon, wherever it is, you can continue what youre doing.
  • 2:52 - 2:58
    Similarly, all the other planets also exert certain types of influences on this planet
  • 2:58 - 3:02
    and all the beings on this planet, but whether you want to be
  • 3:02 - 3:07
    whether you allow them to influence you or you dont allow them to influence you
  • 3:07 - 3:11
    simply depends on how well-established you are within yourself.
  • 3:11 - 3:17
    If you are truly well-established, these planets let them go wherever they want to go,
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    they will not decide the course of your life.
  • 3:21 - 3:27
    Planets means planets and stars means they are inanimate things. Isnt it so? Hmm?
  • 3:27 - 3:33
    Like mud and rock. Should inanimate things decide the course of your life?
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    Should inanimate things decide the destiny of human nature
  • 3:38 - 3:45
    or human nature should decide the destiny of inanimate things? Hmm?
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    Which way should it be?
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    [Audience] Human nature.
  • 3:51 - 3:56
    [Sadhguru] Human nature should decide the course of what happens to the inanimate, isnt it?
  • 3:56 - 4:01
    So, human nature should decide the course of what happens to the inanimate.
  • 4:01 - 4:05
    Inanimate should not decide what happens to me and you, isnt it?
  • 4:05 - 4:10
    But right now, stars and planets are deciding the course of many peoples lives
  • 4:12 - 4:16
    and life is a disaster because of that.
  • 4:18 - 4:24
    Now you want to get married, horoscope should match, isnt it?
  • 4:24 - 4:30
    Horoscopes are all well matched, but how to match these two idiots, tell me.
  • 4:30 - 4:35
    Nobody can match these two idiots unless they are willing to be responsible for their lives
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    and create something out of it.
  • 4:37 - 4:41
    No amount of horoscope matching is going to make the marriage, isnt it?
  • 4:41 - 4:48
    And first of all, you going and asking a third person, Will I live happily with my wife?
  • 4:48 - 4:52
    I think is obscene. [laughter]
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    Isnt it so?
  • 4:56 - 4:59
    Whatever kind of fool I marry, I will live well with this person.
  • 4:59 - 5:02
    This is how you should be, isnt it?
  • 5:03 - 5:12
    [Laughter]
  • 5:14 - 5:17
    They all got the point. [laughter]
  • 5:20 - 5:26
    Now, every step you want to take, you are looking at the stars and looking at the planets.
  • 5:27 - 5:33
    You are so interested in the other planets, that you are making a mess out of this planet.
  • 5:34 - 5:39
    It would be good if you look down at this planet and walk, what you are doing with every step that you take,
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    you would live more sensibly, more intelligently.
  • 5:42 - 5:49
    Looking up at the other planets and walking, you are completely messing up this planet.
  • 5:49 - 5:50
    We must send you there I think.
  • 5:50 - 5:53
    All those people who are looking up, we must send them export them to those places.
  • 5:53 - 5:56
    Let them go and live.
  • 5:56 - 6:00
    Those who are interested in this planet, what happens on this planet,
  • 6:00 - 6:05
    must look at this planet and decide what should happen on this planet, isnt it?
  • 6:05 - 6:11
    Other planets, we will leave it to them. They have a little bit of influence on you.
  • 6:11 - 6:16
    Yes, if you allow them to influence you, but if you
  • 6:16 - 6:26
    see, when you say I am seeking spirituality, what it means is I dont care what my stars are saying.
  • 6:26 - 6:29
    I dont care what my karma is saying.
  • 6:29 - 6:34
    I dont care what anybody has said. I am going to go where I want to go.
  • 6:34 - 6:35
    Thats what it means.
  • 6:35 - 6:37
    When you say I am seeking liberation,
  • 6:37 - 6:43
    it simply means I am going to break loose from every kind of bondage, every kind of influence thats there on me
  • 6:43 - 6:45
    everything that controls me.
  • 6:45 - 6:51
    I am going to go beyond that and become what I want to become. Isnt it so?
  • 6:51 - 6:57
    You say I am on the spiritual path and then you seek astrological help.
  • 6:57 - 7:02
    Its simply ridiculous. Its ridiculous for anybody whether its a physical or spiritual,
  • 7:02 - 7:06
    but especially when you say I am spiritual, it becomes all the more ridiculous
  • 7:06 - 7:13
    because the very fundamentals of spirituality means you are deciding the course of your destiny.
  • 7:13 - 7:17
    Now, I am talking about another kind of science, an inner science,
  • 7:17 - 7:22
    a yogic science through which you can decide the very course of your destiny.
  • 7:22 - 7:27
    To an extent where you even decide in which womb you will be born,
  • 7:27 - 7:32
    even now it is decided by you, but decided unconsciously.
  • 7:32 - 7:37
    What can be decided unconsciously can also be decided consciously, isnt it?
  • 7:39 - 7:45
    Please dont let those inanimate things influence your life.
