Superstitious awe of astrology makes one an automaton, slavishly dependent on mechanical guidance.
The wise man defeats his planets. Which is to say, his past. By transferring his allegiance from the creation to the Creator.
The more he realizes his unity with Spirit, the less he can be dominated by matter.
The soul is ever-free; it is deathless because birthless. It cannot be regimented by stars.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames.
Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine.
Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
The ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic consciousness is intimately linked with breath mastery.
This is India's unique and deathless contribution to the world's treasury of knowledge.
The life force, which is ordinarily absorbed in maintaining the heart-pump, must be freed for higher activities by a method of calming and stilling the ceaseless demands of the breath.

Ordinary love is selfish, darkly rooted in desires and satisfactions.
Divine love is without condition, without boundary, without change.
The flux of the human heart is gone forever at the transfixing touch of pure love.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
In shallow men the fish of little thoughts cause much commotion.
In oceanic minds the whales of inspiration make hardly a ruffle.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Pain and pleasure are transitory.
Endure all dualities with calmness.
While trying at the same time to remove their hold.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Imagination is the door through which disease as well as healing enters.
Disbelieve in the reality of sickness even when you are ill.
The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Do not confuse understanding with a larger vocabulary.
Sacred writings are beneficial in stimulating desire for inward realization.
If one stanza at a time is slowly assimilated.
Continual intellectual study results in vanity and the false satisfaction of an undigested knowledge.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Remember that finding God will mean the funeral of all sorrows.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Many teachers will tell you to believe.
Then they put out your eyes of reason and instruct you to follow only their logic.
But I want you to keep your eyes of reason open.
In addition, I will open in you another eye, the eye of wisdom.

A child is born on that day, and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual Karma.
His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future result.
But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom - These are few.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
When this love.
The heavenly gift of nature, appears in the heart.
It removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state.
And invigorating the vital powers.
Expels all foreign matters.
The germs of diseases by natural ways. (perspiration and so forth).
It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind.
And enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Keen intelligence is two-edged.
It may be used constructively or destructively like a knife.
Either to cut the boil of ignorance, or to decapitate one's self.
Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability of spiritual law.

Good manners without sincerity are like a beautiful dead lady.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
The vanished lives of all are filled with many shames. Therefore do not judge.

Babaji's spiritual state is beyond human comprehension.
The dwarfed vision of men cannot pierce to his transcendental star.
One attempts in vain even to picture the avatar's attainment.
It is inconceivable.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Beings with unredeemed earthly karma are not permitted after astral death to go to the high causal sphere of cosmic ideas.
But must shuttle to and fro from the physical and astral worlds.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
Tender inner weaknesses, revolting at mild touches of censure.
Are like diseased parts of the body, recoiling before even delicate handling.
🙏🌟✨️🌸🌿
