Dear Friend,

Your Life Line is the best line in your hand and hence despite all odds you will still live a good life healthwise and will cross your problems whatever they maybe and come out well health wise. The problem lies in your Heart Line and Head Line. There is a sort of island on head line from 26/27 to 40/41. As the head line goes from 26/27 to 40/41 the pressure on your mind decreases. Since you are very whimsical, moody, highly sentimental, due to the unbroken girdle of venus cum second heart line you have to be very cautious in matters of the heart while dealing with others.

Friction with someone whom you love or trust will result in monetary loss and also lots of pressure on your mind and it might drive you to extremes. If your head line has blood colour Pink nothing to worry. Red colour blood on that line will result in something drastic. This is because someone you trust will deceive you. You have two influence lines in your hand (right palm) and they almost start at 20/21 and the prominent one ends at 43/44 so I would advise you take caution during that period i.e. 43/44 not to trust anyone on their words or deception is certain and it might result in anything extreme.

What is not in our Hands is in HIS hands. I was reading a book on The Path to Meditation. I know it is not easy to follow what the Great OSHO has written but if you read the Chapters posted on "The Path to Meditation from Chapter no.30 to 40 you will find that "You and your Body are two different thing. We identify ourselves with our body and hence when our body is hurt we are hurt. If you stop this identity no matter what happens to your body you will never feel hurt at all. Try to IMAGINE this exercise: You are Dead. Your relatives and friends and family get together. You observe everyone crying, expressing sorrow, talking about you. Observe every incident carefully. They take your body to the pyre to be burnt. They set your body on fire. Watch the smoke go up and the body disappear. After imagining all this you will realise you are different and your body is different for you do not identiy with your body. The more you imagine this exercise your identity with your body will be broken and then when there is no pain, no loss etc. etc. felt by you where is the question of you remaining unhappy." I am not able to express this correctly. You have to read that carefully and you will certainly start experiencing joy.

What you cannot stop or correct leave it to HIM and remember HIM with full faith and complete surrender. See the results for yourself.

God Bless You.

Pravin Kumar

P.S. Just read Chapter No.32 in Meditation Mind Control Subject: The Path to Meditation Chapter No.32. Reproducing some of it over here.
Hope you will be inspired by it.

When Alexander was returning from India he wanted to take a sannyasin back with him so that he could show people in Greece what an Indian sannyasin looks like. There were many sannyasins who were ready and eager to go. Who wouldn't want to go when Alexander was inviting and greeting them with royal honours? But Alexander did not want to take just anyone who was eager, because one who was eager would not be a true sannyasin. He was looking for a sannyasin who had some authenticity.

When he was crossing the border regions, he found out about one particular sannyasin. People told him, "There is a sannyasin who lives on the bank of the river in the forest. You should take him with you."

He went there. First he sent his soldiers to bring the sannyasin to him. The soldiers went to the sannyasin and said, "You are fortunate. Thousands of other sannyasins have begged Alexander to take them but he did not choose any of them. Now the great Alexander has showered his favor on you and he wants you to go with him. You will be taken to Greece in royal style."

The sannyasin said, "Nobody has the power or the courage to force a sannyasin to go anywhere. "

The soldiers were shocked. They were the soldiers of the mighty Alexander, and a naked sannyasin  dared to talk to them like this? They said, "Don't say that again, or you will lose your life."

But the sannyasin said, "Nobody can take away a life that I have already dropped on my own. Go and tell your Alexaner that his power may conquer everything, but it cannot conquer those who have already conquered themselves."

Alexander was amazed. The words were strange, but significant too because he felt that he had found the sannyasin that he had been searching for. Alexander himself went, naked sword in hand, and he told the sannyasin, "If you don't come, I will cut off your head."

And the sannyasin answered, "Do it. And just as you will see that you have cut the head off this body, I also will see that the head has been cut off the body. I will also see it, I will also be watching this happening. But you will not be able to kill me, because I am the watcher." And he went on, "I also will see that the head has been cut off -- so don't be under the wrong impression that you can hurt me in some way. I am beyond the point where anyone can hurt me."

This is why Krishna has said, "That which fire cannot burn, which an arrow cannot pierce, which a sword cannot cut, that is-ness, that being is within us. The integrated being which fire cannot burn and an arrow cannot penetrate is within us."

The awareness of that being and the dropping of the identification with the body, the dropping of the feeling that you are the body, is bodilessness. But you will have to do something to drop the identification. You will have to learn how to drop it. And the more pure the body is, the more easy it will be to drop the identification with the body. The more the body is in a state of purity, the more quickly you can become aware that you are not the body. This is why body purity is the basis and bodilessness is its ultimate fruit.

How can you learnt hat you are not the body? You will have to experience it. If standing, sitting, sleeping and waking you try to remember, if there is a little right-mindfulness, if there is a little awareness of the functions of the body, you will have taken the first step towards creating emptiness.

When you are walking along a path, look deeply inside yourself and you will see that there is someone in there who is not walking. You are walking, your hands and feet are moving, but there is something within you which is not walking at all, which is just watching you walk.

When you have some pain in your hand or foot, when you have hurt your foot, then look inside with awarenesss -- are you hurt, or is it that your body is hurt and you are getting identified with the pain? When there is some pain in the  body become aware if the pain is happening to you or whether you are simply witnessing the pain, whether you are a witness to the pain.

When you feel hungry, look with awareness to see if you are hungry, or your body is hungry and you are simply witnessing this. And when there is happiness, also watch and feel where this happiness is actually happening.

With all that is happening in your life, while you are standing, sitting, walking, sleeping and walking, what needs to be remembered is to be aware to make a constant effort to see where things are actuallly happening. Are they actuallly happening to you or are you just a witness?

Your habit of identification is deep. You may even start to cry while you are watching a movie or a play, you may start to laugh. When the lights in the theater come on you secretly wipe away your tears so that nobody sees them. You cried, you became identified with the movie. You became identified with the hero, the character -- something painful may have happened to him, and you identified with this pain and started to cry.

A mind which thinks that whatever is happening to the body is happening to you is in misery and pain.  And there is onlly one cause for all your misery , and that is your identification with the body. And there is also only one cause for happiness,  and that is that your identification with the body breaks and you become aware that you are not the body.

For that, right - rememberance is needed. Right rememberance of the activities of the body, right-awareness, right-observation of the activities of the body are needed. It is a process: bodilessness will happen through right-observation of the body.

It is necessary to observe the body. When you go to bed at night, it is important to be aware that your body is going to bed, not you. And in the morning when you get out of bed, it is important to be aware that your body is getting out of bed, not you. It was not you that has slept, it was only your body that slept. When you eat, be aware that your body is eating, and when you wear clothes be aware that the clothes only cover the body, not you. Then when somebody hurts you, with this awareness you will be able to remember that the body is being hurt, not you. In this way, with constant reminders, at some point there will be an explosion and the identification will be broken.

Do you know that when you are dreaming you are not aware of your body? And do you know that when you are in deep sleep you remain unaware of your body? Do you remember your face? The deeper you go within yourself, the more you forget your body. In a dream you are not aware of your body; and in very deep sleep, in a state of unconsciousness, you are not aware of the body at all. When consciousness starts returning, your identification with the body gradually starts to return. In the morning, when you suddenly wake up, look inside, and you will clearly be able to see that your identification with the body is also waking up.

There is an experiment to break this identification with the body. If you go on doing it once or twice a month, it will help you to break the identification. Now try to uderstand this experiment.

Relax the body in the same way as we did for the night meditation: by making the room dark, giving suggestions to each chakra, relaxing the body, and entering into meditation. When the body is relaxed -- when your breathing has become relaxed and your being has becomes silent -- feel as if you have died. And become aware within yourself, since you are dead, which of your loved ones are gathering around you. Watch their images gathering around you -- what they do, which of them cries, who screams, who grieves -- watch them with great clarity; they will be visible to you.

Then see that all the people from the neighborhood, the locality, as well as all your loved onces have gathered and tied your dead body onto the bier. Watch that also. See the people carrying the bier, and let it reach the cremation ground; then let them put it on the funeral pyre.

Watch all this. All this is imagination, but if you experiment with all this in your imagination you will be able to see it very clearly. And then see that they have put your dead body on the funeral pyre; the flames have risen and your dead body has disappeared.

When your imagination reaches the point where the dead body has disappeared and the smoke has risen into the sky, the flames have disappeared into the air and only ashes are left, immediatelly, with total awareness, look inside yourself at what is happening. At that moment you will suddenly find that you are not the body; at that moment the identification will be totally broken.
