29) Astrology:-
Astrology does not contradict the spiritual knowledge. Astronomy is science dealing with physical planets in the space, which are in the visible-imaginable domain only. Astrology deals with invisible-imaginable domain and explains about the deities of these nine planets representing the nine executive forces of God in the administration of the world. You shall not say that the deity of moon is not found on landing on the planet of moon. The deity is the owner and planet is his house. The house is not the owner and if you visit the house, its owner need not be necessarily seen in the house. The deity of any planet, called as ‘Graha’, meaning that it catches the soul existing anywhere in exact scheduled time as decided by the constitution of God and passes on the fruit of its good or bad deed to it. The deities of planets are exactly the unimaginable powers of unimaginable God only. The unimaginable power of the deity of the planet is a stepping stone to identify the unimaginable God behind it. Astrologers shall propagate the theism and devotion to God among the human beings. Instead of this, astrologers feel as if different from God and spiritual knowledge offering immediate solutions for the worldly problems and exploit people for their earnings. Astrology ends in spiritual knowledge and the astrologer must lead the human being to God in course of time.
30) Suicide:-
Suicide is the greatest sin and the Veda says that a human being committing suicide will go to the world of permanent darkness called as ‘Asurya’. The brain of the person committing suicide is filled with endless ignorance only. The human being must recognize the ultimate aim of this human birth. Such ultimate aim is to get the grace of God by pleasing Him with devotion and service. Forgetting this main aim, a problem in the side line, which is worldly life, is provoking this foolish human being to commit suicide! The best simile is that a student is admitted into college and his ultimate aim is to study well, pass the examination and get the certificate with distinction. The student is admitted in to the hostel of the college for boarding and lodging. There was a problem in the hostel and the foolish student commits suicide, unable to solve this secondary problem of lesser importance. Such people are those, who get problems in financial side. Some gold medalists in the field of ignorance commit suicide for problems of least importance also! The student has no problem in the college or in the hostel. One day, he has gone to see the first released cinema and couldn’t get a ticket on the first day itself. After all, he can see the same cinema on the next day also. But, he commits suicide for not getting ticket on the first day itself. Such people are those, who get problems of failure of love towards a specific soul! Hence, spiritual knowledge must be made a compulsory subject in education to remind the ultimate aim of this human life, which is very rare for a soul and can be even considered as having no chance again!
31) The Theory of Deeds:-
The theory of deeds is complicated unless you carefully analyse it with lot of patience. It is a three dimensional net work involving several factors as said in the Gita (Gahanaa karmano gatih). Without understanding the background of a soul due to your limited capacity of knowledge, you confuse yourself and others, ending in criticizing the God. A person harmed you and he is not punished by God, for which, you scold God! i) The person, who harmed you, might have been harmed by you in the previous birth and as per the divine constitution, he is harming you in retort in this birth. How can you expect God to punish him? ii) The person, who harmed you, might have committed a fresh sin in this birth. He is not punished by God immediately in this birth, for which also, you scold God. God might be giving him some time to realise and reform himself. If he is not reformed in the given time, God will punish him terribly. You need not worry that the delay is not tolerable. Even if you take revenge for his sin, are you compensated? iii) If you have patience to have tolerance for the damage done by a person to you and if the person damaged you freshly in this birth, you are immediately compensated by God. iv) If you take revenge on your enemy, without tolerance, without leaving the enquiry to God and took the law in to your hand, you are not compensated by God and moreover you will be punished again for the crime of taking the law into your hand. If you suffer with revenge in your heart without harming the enemy, that itself is your punishment for such revengeful attitude and in this case also, no compensation comes from God. Hence, the best path of the best spiritual scholar is to leave to God to arrive at the judgement and let God take His own justified time for His reaction. Being a party, you are not supposed to act as judge in your own case! Don’t bother about the injustice winning in the administration of God since God is the first person to be worried if your worry is correct!
