Meditation - The Only Remedy

As an Astrologer, I am regularly being asked about remedies & gemstones and I can't blame people for asking it as everyone wants to live a better life and there is a perception that remedies/gemstones can make our life better. But only thing is that you are asking a wrong person.

I have stated my views very clearly here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/remexp as to why I don't follow or recommend any remedies. In this post, I will just add few more reasons.

1. I feel when this world or life is created by God and God is perfect then our lives are also perfect. A perfect God cannot create an imperfect life. It reminds me of a story - "A Master used to tell his disciples that Life is Perfect. One day a disciple got fed-up and asked the Master, do you see this hunch-back I am carrying with me since childhood? Can you still say that my life is perfect?

Master replied, it is the most perfect hunch-back I have seen in my life."

So, life is perfect with all its imperfections.

2. Then if we accept that remedies overpower planetary impacts then we are actually saying that remedies are more powerful than astrology itself.

3. Now, understand that most of the remedies are based on doing some worship or giving some charity. Worship and Charity are indications that someone is going towards spirituality and leaving materialism. But our worships and charities are actually done to achieve materialistic goals. We are doing this worship or doing that charity to actually get something in return. In my considered view, this person is bargaining with God or even trying to bribe the God. I don't see any spirituality in such worships or charities or remedies. This person is more materialist than before when he was not doing any remedy.

4. But if someone is really interested in the most effective remedy then it is only one, i.e. Meditation. Normally people ask what will happen through meditation? Well, actually nothing. Meditation can't solve any of your problem but you may stop treating it as a problem. It may not give you any answer to your questions but you may not find any question after that.

5. Reminds me of Sufi Fakir Bayazid who used to live on charity given by people and the day he doesn't get any charity, he used to thank God for giving him opportunity to fast. Just like when Socrates was given punishment to death by poisoning and one the given date/time he asked the authorities why none brought poison so far? why so much delay in following God's wish? So, this is what happens with meditation. A person comes to total acceptance or surrender to God's wish.

6. Now, anyone who has done meditation for sometime then he will know that 1st experience is always facing all your negative memories of life which run in front of his mind like a movie continuously. Person would have to cross this initial hurdle. He has to accept that whatever happened in life was his destiny and only way he can improve now in life is through awareness, the by-product of meditation. This initial phase, struggle or war with your own past is the most difficult but person needs to cross this barrier if he wants to live a better life in future.

7. Normally people tell me that what they can do for the better life of their kids and they are ready to do anything? Well, if it is really so then get yourself and your kids in to Meditation ASAP. The biggest advantage a child has is that he doesn't have any negative memory. Actually, he has no memory at all. A child of 4-5 years of age won't remember the events of morning in evening. In such a case, meditation is easier and more effective on a child as he doesn't need to cross the initial barrier. He can directly step on to second stage.

8. But the problem is that a child will do only that he sees his parents doing. So, if you want your child to meditate then you have to meditate 1st and then one day child will follow. Children are most acute observers. They copy what they see. If they see their parents meditating, they will meditate. If they see their parents fighting or cursing at each other then parents may not have to wait for long before their kids start doing the same.

So, this is the only remedy I have, i.e. Meditation.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
