Why Vaastu knowledge is not enough to get it all ?

Everything is Energy. A cliché that everyone quotes and yet is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. Energy is
not everything. Had it been so, nobody would suffer or be deprived of anything, because cosmic energy
is everywhere. It flows everywhere. Even in assumed-dead rocks.
So yes, “Energy is Everywhere, Everything is not Energy”.
Now the question comes - How do we get that energy in abundance that’s everywhere?
I often get clients who want the best from my Vaastu knowledge and experience to get everything they need and desire. Yet they do halfhearted efforts putting budgets, pre conceived notions ahead of their problems. It should be but logical to realize that ‘the one’ that is stopping them from growing is the same ‘one’ that is stopping them from going ahead and overcoming this last obstacle. Some of my clients also try to bypass all this confusion and even go to the extent of using my own energy reserves to get the desired results in their homes and work places. Yet naïve are their ways and expectations. There are practices by which one can draw energy from a higher source to one's own lower self and fulfill one’s immediate needs. What else do you think you do when you visit a temple, mosque, church or a gurudwara? You draw energy from a higher energy source. And yet that “one” comes back and fails every effort you do to improve your life. So, what is that ‘The One’ that governs our lives and yet remains hidden? Its not God or universal consciousness that we often refer to as ‘the one’ controlling everything.
We will find out. Let’s build a premise first.
Ta**ra, Yoge, Vaastu, Feng Shui and et al, all are great sciences and blessed with secrets that can change your world around. They are so vast that they extend from one end of spectrum to the other, meaning from positive to negative. One will find volumes of how to use and misuse ta***ic energy to acquire anything.
Ta**ra is nothing else but the science of Energy.
So why has universal consciousness given us this knowledge? Why did She allow misuse of Herself and how can we make sure we are not affected negatively? What controls Chaos from manifesting endlessly? God gave free will to each consciousness and allowed the scope of malpractices of this knowledge just to make sure only the deserving get the best. Sounds confusing? How could that be possible?
By making ‘free will’ as the key governing factor of all deeds She made sure results are controlled. We were given each our free will not because God allowed wrong to happen but because there was no other way by which this vast knowledge would only benefit the deserving.
Let me explain in detail.
We have three bodies, broadly speaking. Our Physical body, Energy body and Subtle body. Let us see what our three bodies consists of and when and where does Cosmic Energy come into the picture?
Physical Body – (स्थूल शरीर)
In total, we should know that, we possess 22 faculties which makes us as a whole. Not many of us know that what we call as faculties is not limited to the sensory and physical senses but much more. The 6 senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch and mind; and the 5 feeling faculties of physical pleasure, physical pain, mental joy, mental grief and indifference/equanimity do not alone make up what we call the physical body. There is more to the “Real”. The above merely makes us realize that there is some space of which we are a part of that we can start calling “Real for its experiences”. It is however, only the beginning of our so-called Real World. After these 11 faculties comes the 3 physical faculties of femininity, masculinity and life/ vitality which adds subtly to our sense of reality. It further defines what is that “sense of me” and “how much of me” in each one of us, so we can relate individually to these experiences of the real world. The remaining 8 faculties shape up our complete physical reality. The too rigid call it unreal and mythical, the believers call it spiritual and the half believers call it the mystical. Whereas the real world is all but these 22 faculties.
The remaining 8 faculties include –
Unlimited Energy, Unlimited Memory, Stillness Of Mind, Divine Wisdom, Faith, That Pure Thought To Know The Truth, Gnosis Of Self, The Realized State. These last states and faculties are what we mistakenly and commonly think to be realization of self in the spiritual sense, whereas we have merely discovered our complete physical self only.
This is our wholesome Physical body & world. The Energy body is way beyond it.
And the reason we never meet our spiritual body is because we never discover and explore our complete physical body in this lifetime. And if we don’t even consciously recognize and use our own complete physical self the question of completeness at all levels doesn’t even arise. It’s like purposefully closing eyes and ears and trying to perceive objects in front of us. We may be able to partially perceive the object but its whole experience will never be revealed to us.
Similarly connecting without using all 22 faculties our experiences of this world are incomplete, which is why connections are incomplete, which is why experience is incomplete. So, the 22 faculties are the sources of food for the physical body.
Energy Body – (सूक्ष्म शरीर)
The Energy that runs the physical body is collectively defined as the Energy body. But it is much more than that. Just as the physical body has systems to operate, the Energy body operates on Chakra systems, the Energy Centers that govern the cumulative life energy of the being (प्राण). Without प्राण शक्ति the physical body will die. The source of food for the energy body can be two, one from the physical body, that is the end product of all the intake processes of the physical body. But this energy accumulated by this process is too little and the reason why we get tired at the end of the day or feel drained out. The second source of this energy is Universal Consciousness, the cosmic energy that is much discussed in all metaphysical and occult sciences. When we sleep, we receive this in small quantities. One can get the same energy in abundance via Yoge, meditation, sadhna, practices, etc. Everyone today knows “How to accumulate Cosmic Energy?” It is not a secret anymore. But what only a few realize is “How to use it and what not to do?” Only a few know that even this “Accumulated Energy can harm you manifold”.
Subtle Body – कारण शरीर.
We will not discuss the third body in detail. In short it is “that” which becomes the reason for the existence of the other two bodies. There is a reason why a being exists. If that reason becomes obsolete or absent then the subtle body would have no reason to be there, which is when first the Energy body, then the Physical body will get destroyed. The larger aim of every birth is to know the reason for the existence of one’s subtle body. But that discussion is not important here.
We are here to find out more about Energy.
So, for our physical world we need constant energy that we can either get in limited supply in the physical realm or in abundant supply in the energy realm. Yogis follow the second path. People who only follow कर्मपथ, follow only the first. A person who balances, कर्म, ज्ञान, साधना, भक्ति, सेवा etc follows a holistic approach. Yet it’s not still enough.
No path works unless you know the first principle of energy. And that is “The One” that we spoke about in the beginning that was stopping you from listening wholly to your well-wishers, experts and doing what is required to make your spaces and body ready to receive positive energy.
And that First Principle and The One is nothing else but your – Intention (भाव).
Everything is energy but energy body works on only one principal - Intention.
That's the first principle it always follows. Energy doesn’t and cannot lie, so cannot operate without truth, honesty and what is true, Love. Energy can’t flow positively if fed negativity. It won’t flow.
So, if you seek only results and means are wrong, you want to steal energy, grab it or acquire it then it won’t work ever. In fact, it will follow your intent. An energy acquired by unfair means will follow your intention innocently and give you back the same. It’s not punishment or wrath of God but simply what you fed it with. Because it functions on intention.
If your intentions are malafied, you only reap results that naturally arise from malafied seeds that you sow in the energy world. If your intentions are full of love, sacrifice, inclusiveness and expansion of your consciousness then it will do the same. Give you back the same. So, this is how God controls the free energy use that She has allowed in the wide spectrum of good and bad.
So, no matter how much yoge, meditation, vasstu corrections, puja, archana, dhyan, sadhna you do, if the intention is not pure positive the results will not be pure positive for you. In fact, the more you do these things with negative intentions, the more negatively it will manifest in your life only. And with negative intentions you will not listen to your well-wishers, consultants, experts who are trying to bring you out of your misery by inducing their positive energy.
In the Energy world rule is not that opposites attract, but opposites repel and likes attract.
But on the other hand, if you don’t know these things and just send energy bodies, yours and universally, one purely positive intention of love, healing and offerings then it will acknowledge the same and send it back to you manifold. It will automatically open doors for you and send you people who will only help you.
It’s that simple. But yes, at the same time all these Vaastu practices do work, as they tell you means and ways to increase this flow of "positive" energy in your spaces and expedite the process of giving and receiving. But only when you are ready to receive.
So, the complete secret of energy arts and science is in the word that we use so often and yet don’t mean it nonchalantly - "positive energy". We forget and ignore a basic principle that, when we seek positive energy then everything about it has to be positive only. From intention to thought to actions. Nothing negative will yield positive. The vices, hatred, selfishness, avarice, jealousy, greed, ego, arrogance, all have to be given up first before you seek and summon the cosmic energy. Which is why sadhnas done with negative intentions lead to destruction.
If you want results then first train your heart, mind and soul to be able to carry good intentions at all times. In every thought. A feeling of fair connection with all beings. Not self-centered. Yes, you would have to put yourself in risks, in open waters at the mercy of the universal consciousness, but one can never bypass that step with prudence and logic as “Faith” is your faculty only and that which would have to be completely active when you make yourself available to receive the positive cosmic energy. There is no calculative, secure way to do this. You have to be completely exposed and naked in front of the Universe in the most positive sense. Yes, people laugh at such philosophies and even call such explorers of truth, foolish, but the same people never come to know what these fools got in the end?
So, control “The One” within you, your Intentions. Tame it. Domesticate it. Then what will come to you manifold would be beautiful and everlasting. You will only need a Vaastu practitioner to guide you in resolving your spaces, not your life. Nature will guide you. Your soul will tell you everything, as its your only Guru, and it would be connected to universal consciousness.
But if you only acquire by force and practices then first it will all come to you and then take back manifold. Because it is energy's nature to give and take and give and take the same, iteratively. It keeps happening all the time.
So, start by being kind to others, by understanding their needs, pains. Of all beings large and small around you. All. Because this what you seek resides in all and you can't take from all unless they want to give you from their hearts. You can only connect and exchange when everyone desires you as much as you desire them.
As a result, people who possess spaces that are already aligned with cosmic principles can draw maximum benefits in no time using positive intentions, but may lose out on this opportunity if they try to grab it all.
Similarly, people who possess spaces that are misaligned with cosmic energies in physical sense and flow can get cosmic benefits with positive intentions and can worsen their scene by negativity.
So, Intentions make Emotions, Emotions make Character. Character makes Actions. Actions make Destiny, Destiny makes Future. And “The One” (Intentions) inside you follows your Free Will/ Consciousness (चेतना) all the time.
If you want a good future, then keep your intentions positive all the time. Everything else is a secondary.
I keep telling my clients that my knowledge won’t work for them unless they are ready to change their ways. Yet most fail to grasp the essence and want it all without giving even a positive thought for others. That is where even my immense knowledge and experience of Vaastu fails. Once, one understands this simple truth and follows it against all odds, then as architects we are able to give them spaces that not only arise from their consciousness, and what it seeks, but also reflect their personalities. Even simple spaces with minimalistic interiors become “fulfilled” and generate energies that can never be stopped. But when the Space, User & its consciousness and “all others around” are unattached with positive bonds, then even the most expensive of interiors become worthless and lifeless and bring only sorrows, disease and unhappiness.
So, look around. If your spaces and you are unhappy with each other, or if you are surrounded by confusion, disconnect, conflict and quarrels then first look inside – do you see your intentions to be true? If no, then work on it first. But if you are true and still suffering then that’s the actual time to call a Vaastu consultant and make your spaces aligned with you in every way, because just like you, your spaces are also living organisms that are waiting to be happy forever. . . . . . .
