| When you take to yoga, horoscope does not hold good, because another
force enters into play. After that, the predictions are only true as far
as you carry with you parts of your ancient life into the new one. This
is a well known fact. At least to know what is going to happen may induce one to react and to stand against these limitations and break them. I would say in such cases, "This will not happen". Why should I submit to what is imposed by these vital forces? If the divine is in me, I am the master of my destiny. Sri Aurobindo (ca. winter 1928) in a letter reported by Champaklal in "Champaklal speaks", section "Correspondence" pages 243-244 ******************************************************************* Horoscopes have no importance for those who take up yoga, because the influence that works through yoga is much more powerful than the influence of the stars. The Mother in CWM vol 15 "Words of The Mother", section "Religion and Occultism", page 39 both published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Pondicherry diffusion by SABDA |
