Was I Fated to get divorced ? Fate versus free will.

 

Introduction:

‘ Was I fated to get divorced?  Why did i have to go through all this? Could I have prevented any of this?? “  These are some of the most common questions i get asked as an astrologer from people in different spheres of life.

So it begs the critical question “  IS EVERYTHING FATED OR CAN WE PREVENT ANYTHING USING OUR OWN FREE WILL ?? “

This is also a very old , often discussed and debated philosophical question of ‘ FATE VERSUS FREE WILL”.

Understanding fate and free will:

1. Fate (Naseeb):

It is the indomitable IRON HAND that rules your life . Fate determines where you are born , your physique , your prospects in life and death.

For people who only believe in Fate ,  FATE RULES AND DETERMINES EVERYTHING FROM YOUR BIRTH TO YOUR DEATH.

One of the common indicators of your fate is your birth chart or kundali. The birth chart of kundalini is simply a map of the heavens at the date and time of your birth.

It is simply a device to measure or indicate the role fate plays in your life - good or bad.

    2.  Free will:

Free will is the faculty of the brain and the mind used to chart ones own course in life.

It dominantly consists of how you think , your attitude , your perceptions and MOST IMPORTANTLY DECISION MAKING !

People who believe in free will decry fate as an excuse of the weak!  Generally speaking free will people think of astrology an unnecessary crutch or means of escapism used to justify being lazy or incompetent!

Philosophical connections between fate  and free will:

There are many philosophical and spiritual dictums/ doctrines  that tend to point to the connections between the fate and free will.

Here are 2 of my favourites:

1. Karmanusarini budhhi:

Simply stated it means that your Karma will determine your buddha or intellect. Karma you have   is the extension of your fate .

Hence your fate determines your buddhi  or FREE WILL . Which ultimately means your fate will determine how you think , people you meet  , your education etc.

    2.   Buddhi karmanusarini:

Simply stated it means that your Buddhi will determine your karma or FATE.

Hence a person who thinks better or acts better WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE BETTER FATE!

SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH ?

You  may accuse me of playing with words and trying to confuse you .

Thats not the case because this is a very serious and important subject matter that requires deep introspection and warrants AN OPEN MIND!

Examples:

One of the easiest ways to understand complex subjects is to simplify them via real life examples.

I shall be presenting 4 real life cases i have seen, that have suffered a  similar  outcome in one sphere of life.

1. Individual  A wanted to marry individual B :

A wanted to marry B .  He consulted an astrologer before  deciding . The astrologer said NO. 

A said ‘ I don't believe in astrology and these pandits ‘.  

A got married to B . 

 After 2 years , A  got a divorce.

2.   Individual G wanted to marry individual H :

G wanted to marry H.  But G was a strong believer in astrology and he consulted 3 astrologers:

First astrologer told G  - YES you can proceed.

Second astrologer told G - NO you will get divorced.

Third astrologer told G - NO you are not fated to get married.

G was madly in love with H . He got married with H.

After 1,  year G got a divorce.

3.    Individual S wanted to marry individual T :

S wanted to marry T . The families of both S and T recommended seeing some astrologer to check the match.

S and T both refused. They had full faith in their love and companionship.

S and T took a divorce, 5 years after marriage.

4.    Individual M wanted to marry individual F :

M wanted to marry F inspite of grave opposition from his/her own family . The family was convinced that the marriage would not last. But M was adamant and did not heed to family pressure and proceeded to marry F.

M took divorce 3 months after marriage.

Understanding the above examples:

The above mentioned examples should help us understand  the difficult and complicated concepts of fate vs free will.

My questions:

1. Could any 1 one of these divorces be prevented?

    2.  Were they all fated to get divorced?

I request you all to think deeply and send me your thoughts on nikhhar2498@gmail.com

I shall be discussing all these cases in great detail in my next post.

Conclusion:

The inner workings of the fate mechanism is very intricate and not so simple to understand.

However we must venture to examine this fine balance of fate and free will that rules our lives and the lives of those around us.

Please pen your thoughts on this subject to nikhhar2498@gmail.com.

I shall be eagerly waiting to hear from you !!
