A man went to an astrologer to check his horoscope.After peering at the calculation carefully,the astrologer looked up and said to the anxious inquirer,"Sir, it appears that your future holds horror than scope". The stars,planets and eclipse. The black cats,owls and cows.The fluttering of an eyelid, a bout of hiccups, a dream. In this world, almost is without a meaning or bereft of an interpertation.Many tie lemons and chillis to thier doorways or vehicles to ward off evil spirits. Other wear exotics rings on their fingers and talismans around their necks. Abroad, people avoid walking on cracks in the pavement, or beneath a ladder or acquiring a flat on the 13th floor of a building. And for the heaven's sake don't drop that mirror! If it breaks, it means seven years of bad luck! lolz isnt that rubbish??
Are these superstitions or is their some truth in any of this??In schools we were taught a law which reigns above all the others in the universe, called Murphy's Law. It states categorically, "if anything can go wrong. it will". Sooner or later something goes wrong in almost everbody's life and you may conclude that your misfortunes were due to a tantric casting spells upon you when in fact your bad luck was merely to complex and unforeseenable environmental,social or financial events. I think we create our own mindsets then interpret our own situation in a way that fulfills it.What ever the answer to this conundrum,one thing should be understood clearly: the greatest and the most powerful of 'tantrics' is God. One who has deep and single-minded devotion to god need not fear tantrics or ill omens. Gosh i'v seen people changing their state of mind acc. to their tantrics or astrologer. Even if outwardly it appears some evil force is harming them, themselves understand that what is happening is happening only because of the will of their lord, to whom they have surrerdered themselves .For such devotees,God himself becomes thier surety and security.So if one day you find someone has thrown mung seeds or placed a lemon in front of your doorsteps,thanks the person,collect the seeds together,wash them,boil them, offer them with love to the deity and have a hearty meal. Or else give them to some poor person or donate them at the mondir.Keep your faith in god firm and continue on your way unruffles."The root of all superstitions is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.--Francis Bacon"
