Part 2
The time of birth is the
co-ordinating point at which the Fate links itself with the planetary system.
Although the planets by themselves do not bring human destiny, they indicate as
to what the destiny holds and the sequence in which the events would follow.
Hindu astrology analyses and interprets the consequences of Fate or Destiny, by
study of the planetary position at the time of birth as well as the transitory
influences.
As an analogy, Fate or
Destiny could be compar5ed to a delayed action detonation. If the time-control”
could be compared to the past action of man, the detonation indicates the result
offered by destiny.
Man is entirely free to
act and his movements are in no way restricted by the existence of time-device.
Fate has no control over the activities of man nor does it hinder his actions.
If the scope for action is limited, it is because of the circumstances in which
he is placed and also due to his weaknesses. Consequently, there is precious
little a man can do in spite of freedom enjoyed by him and the advantage of
foreknowledge of the coming event. For instance, he cannot possibly reach the
time-control unit and disengage the trigger. Man cannot influence the planetary
movements. In life also, man cannot run away from his environment.
Under the circumstances,
any action man may take will have to be, by necessity, defensive in nature.
Being forewarned, he may remain alert at least and try to keep away and succeed
or at least avoid what otherwise would be a fatal hit. Persons of great
spiritual development are successful in this regard. In the ordinary man,
freewill is not very strong with the result, he will have to resort to other
protective measures.
In Hindu astrology, this
aspect has been dealt with under Remedial Astrology, in great detail. It
prescribes remedial measures to suit specific types of effects to be warded
off, and also defines the conditions under which it would be effective.
Indiscriminate recourse to such remedial measures are, however, likely to cause
more harm than good. It would have the same effect as using a glass shield in
lieu of crushproof glass shield prescribed, due to ignorance of the difference
between the two. Therefore, any remedial measures should be taken under the
guidance of a learned and experience astrologer only.
Knowledge of astrology
reveals to the man, the strength and composition of Fate, makes him realize
that it is inevitable and prepares him to face it with patience, guides him in
taking protective measures, prompts him to use his freewill wisely and modify
the future and thus make this life purposeful. 253.
