Total Trust in God

The reason why I do not support astrology, is not that the science of astrology is fiction, but because ninety percent of the astrologers are ignorant. They have not really mastered that science. They are in it for a living. They are not Gnanis. They will either flatter you or scare you. Only then will you give them money.

Someone will demand fifty rupees from you for some temple car festival and you will readily give. If someone who is really devout asks you money gently, and honestly, without any coercion, you will not give even five rupees. You will even rebuke him for asking! The world has become such that intimidation rules the game. You insult a genuine person, by not offering him a chair and talking to him outside your gate. If four hooligans surround your car and ask you for charity for the local temple, you immediately give them hundred rupees.

People base their actions on what they face in the world. People must change. And time will come for the change to happen. Till such time, don’t get caught in all these illusions; worship God directly, and travel peacefully on the path your life leads to. Don’t follow anything that does not add to your self-confidence.

Horoscope, astrology, remedies like rings, stones and other talisman will confuse you. Assume you have purchased a ring based on astrological advice. If you lose it, you will be totally upset. Your faith is actually then interlinked with that ring.

Is this necessary? Half a penny worth ring that you purchased off some shop counter. Why should you lose your faith? Better still to hold on to God within us, in daylight or in dream, asleep or awake.

Trust in God Direct. There is nothing else, none else.
