CHANGE YOUR HABITS – CHANGE YOUR LUCK: II
Good Luck follows good habits. As discussed in the previous post, actions produce merit and demerit in the form of habits (saṃskāras) to repeat similar actions in the future. You can, of course, use your free will to break off from your bad habits and improve your karma. This in turn will unlock the benefic outcomes of the planets and thus change your luck. So, let us see how changing some more of your habits can actually enhance your luck: Do not keep plants in the house if you cannot care for them personally. Plants should be treated with great tenderness and care. When you personally water the plants, you are actually doing remedies for Sun, Moon and Mercury. This is also a therapeutic remedy for depression and anxiety. Are you not getting a desirable job or a deserving promotion in spite of being qualified or eligible? Do you sleep late in the night? If so, change your habit soon. Sleep early and try to wake up before sunrise. If possible, spend some time gazing at the rising sun. You shall soon have some good news. Are you facing problems from your adversaries and competitors? Stop throwing around your shoes and slippers. Wash your socks daily. Arrange your footwear in a proper manner and place. Always refill your salt container every Friday. Also, sweep the floor with rock salt mixed water. You will not only be able to clear your pending dues and debts, but also be able to improve your status as well. Keep all income or earned cash untouched for at least 24 hours when you get it. This will help to reduce your extravagant and wasteful expenditures. Avoid taking a loan from anyone on Tuesday of any month. You may otherwise have to face difficulties in repaying that loan increases. Avoid giving a loan on Wednesday of any month. Otherwise, it is very likely that either there will be an inordinate delay in getting the repayment or the amount will never come back to you. Here is a very good habit you should adopt to improve your financial condition. Regularly donate a small percentage of your income to the needed people – preferably on a Thursday. It doesn’t matter whether it is 1% or 10% – as long as you wish to help the underprivileged. If you are facing financial problems or repeated failures due to Rahu, break a coconut every Saturday. Women may instead offer coconut in the temple. To read ‘CHANGE YOUR HABITS TO CHANGE YOUR LUCK – PART I’, click HERE.
CHANGE YOUR HABITS – CHANGE YOUR LUCK
Astrology is based on the concept of Karma. Our thoughts, our actions and our habits constitute our Karma; thereby they shape our Destiny. Destiny or fate is nothing but the reciprocal force of our own actions performed in past lives. Any change in our outlook, habits or actions will obviously affect our luck correspondingly. Yogaśāstra states that actions produce merit and demerit in the form of habits (saṃskāras) to repeat similar actions in the future. You can, of course, use your free will to break off from your bad habits and improve your karma. This in turn will unlock the benefic outcomes of the planets and thus change your luck. So, let us see how changing some of your habits can actually enhance your luck: If you have the habit of spitting around, immediately give up this habit! It would adversely affect your prestige and status in society. Do you have the habit of throwing your clothes around or leaving your bed undone? Beware, this spoils your Rahu and Saturn. This can cause instability and chaos in your life. It would be best that you assemble your bed yourself on waking up. Are you angered or irritated very quickly or without reason? Always wash your feet well; especially after returning home. You will soon experience clarity of thoughts and peace of mind. Some people have the habit of shaking their legs or tapping their feet while sitting. Please avoid this habit. This is a sign of bad Rahu and can create health and wealth problems and create unnecessary hurdles. Never hurt dogs. Do not kick them. In fact, feed them if you can. This will prove to be an effective remedy for malefic Saturn and Ketu. Do you get success only for a temporary period? Are your hard efforts not rewarded adequately? Never leave your plate on the dining table after eating. This will improve the beneficial effects of Moon and Saturn. You shall also experience mental peace. Always offer a glass of water to anyone who comes to your house – be it your guest or a service provider. This will improve your Rahu and all Rahu related problems will slowly be solved. Whenever you return home from work or otherwise, always remember to buy something for the family. It could be as simple as fruits or candies for children. Make this a habit and you will soon find wealth and prosperity increasing steadily. Do not speak loudly or harshly and never use abusive language. This habit will hurt you more than anyone else. Saturn and Rahu will start giving your malefic results. To read ‘CHANGE YOUR HABITS TO CHANGE YOUR LUCK – PART II’, click HERE.
