Astrology

Life is a whole. If you can perceive this wholeness you will understand astrology, otherwise you will not.

Astrology is basically an investigation of the future. And science is basically an investigation of the past.

if it is in the process of flowering, then it will flower.

the meaning of science is the investigation of the relationship between cause and effect.

when the sun changes its mood even a little, life on Earth is affected. Nothing happens on the sun without something happening on the Earth

A tiny blade of grass has an impact on the sun, and the sun has an impact on the blade of grass. The blade of grass is not so tiny that the sun can say, “I do not care about you,” nor is the sun so big that it can ask, “What can this blade of grass do for me?” Life is interconnected. Here, nothing is big or small; everything is one organic unity.

I said that we are affected by the moon and the stars. Another idea that astrology has is that the moon and the stars are affected by us, because influence goes in both directions. Whenever a man like Buddha is born on the Earth, the moon may not realize that it is because of him that storms are not arising on its surface; that because of Buddha the storms have subsided. The moon is affected and the sun also is moved.
When spots occur on the sun and storms arise, diseases spread across the Earth. When a person like Buddha is born on the Earth, a current of peace flows, the pillar of consciousness grows strong, and the deep beauty of meditation moves over the Earth. And, because everything is joined together, this also makes it difficult for a storm to arise on the sun.

So no one should remain in the fallacy that he is an island: isolated, separate, aloof. Everything is connected to the whole, and everything is all the time affecting others and being affected by others. Even when you pass by a stone lying on the road, it is throwing its vibrations in your direction. The flowers too are throwing out their vibrations. And you are not just passing by, you too are throwing out your vibrations.

For today, just this much: that the universe is a living body, an organic unity. In it, nothing is isolated, all is connected. Whatever is far away is connected to that which is near, nothing is separate.

“You are happy, Nasruddin! What is your secret?”
Nasruddin said, “I have learned to cooperate with the inevitable. After many years of struggling, I have realized something. I have decided that what must be, must be. Now I cooperate with the inevitable, so there is no reason to be miserable. Now I am happy.”
