Buddha said, “Change is the eternal law of nature.” So why do some people say that everything is predetermined? You could say there was nothing like fatalism in Buddha’s philosophy, and Buddha didn’t say anything about astrology. In fact, Buddha’s Middle Path answers most of our questions. Our lives aren’t entirely dependent on luck or fate, because we humans have been given a strong consciousness, yet that same nature has also imposed many limitations. The path lies somewhere in the middle, and our lives are between both fate and action (karma).
Today, I’ll talk about astrology. When we visit most astrologers, we go in a distressed state, just like we go to a doctor. And with our fearful minds, astrologers scare us even more, making us weaker. Stay away from all those astrologers who frighten you. Remember, there’s a difference between giving a warning and scaring someone.
Astrology is a precious heritage of India’s Vedic tradition, and it should be used to make people fearless and guide them on a spiritual path. That’s why I started giving astrological advice, so people can move away from fear and understand the right things. I hope you’ll keep this in mind when we talk about astrology in our next blog.
