- Planets
Do planets influence our character at birth? What is the relationship of environment and character?
In answer, I might cite the example of fish and water. Does it develop the gills because of water? Or does it live in water because it has gills? The two are simultaneous. the Truth is that it is fish!
I bring my own basic "character" from my own past birth - karma, samskara, dharma. Naturally, therefore, the planets are in certain positions at my birth-hour, and my environment is such-and-such - to accord well with my character and vice versa.
- Intuition
When the force gained by a physical-mental - moral-intellectual discipline destroys the logic-barrier within, intuition begins to flow.
- Brahma Vishnu Siva
You cultivate rice, preserve it in the barn, and then eat it!
It is not destroyed, but fulfilled.
Siva is not the Destroyer, but the Redeemer.
- Some Point and Some View
If the following makes no sense: take it as fact.
I knocked at his door and asked him, "Are you happy?"
"No", he said, "help me to get rid of my sorrows."
"I cannot" I replied, "but you can help yourself."
"Why did you come?" he barked, "and knock door?"
"Just to tell you that."
- Mahasivaratri
Parvathy once had an argument with Siva: "Is the world sustained by Siva or by Parvathy?" She closed Siva's eyes with Her hand. Immediately the whole creation was dissolved. The Eleven Rudras then prayed to Siva who in answer to their prayer created the universe again. That incident is commemorated in Mahasivaratri.
