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