Susharma and Susena- a story (asteek vs nasteek)

Vyam Vedvyasaya Namaha

Once two wise bramhins were travelling together .Susena and Susharma were their names . Susena was an atheist did not believe in God believed in his efforts alone. Susharma was asteek but believed only on relying on his luck and was happy with whatever he got without efforts. As they were travelling together both started arguing as to whose is the right path. While they were nearing a village there was a huge Vishnu temple . Susharma started walking such that temple was to his right ( as respect to God) so that he can do a pradikshina of the temple ( circumombulation) he was hurt on his toe profusely bleeding on his way along the temple. But Susena did not believe hence kept walking  keeping Temple on the left . he got a gold ring on his way towards the temple.

Susena made fun of Susarma and said look what you got for your faith, look at my efforts it made me richer? so I am right ” Susharma dejected wanted a clarification from someone wiser . In that kingdom King was a just and wise ruler both went to him to seek the answer. King angrily ordered “these men have no work seems idle tie them in the temple outside the town and let them starve”!

as the night fell both were hungry susarma cried oh God give me some food . Susena laughed said ” idiot use your hands and feet else you will go hungry look i have got something , a bowl full of sweets/kheer” But as he was eating something stuck in his mouth in the darkness he threw those hard thing in the mouth and they fell in the lap of susarma.

Next day King called both of them asked them what happened in the night both related their account susena boasted about his endeavour of filling his stomach through effort. and susarma showed he got some hard pebbles in his lap lo! it was precious stones. King said look at your luck susarma you have become richer . Susena not convinced both continued travel and met a wise sage and realted their account. the sage took them to the village where susarma was hurt . he showed there was a big treasure on the left of the temple guarded by a snake. Susarma at that point had a apamrutyu yoga ( he was supposed to die by the bite of snake) but his instant devotion saved him from imminent death but he got away with minor injury. Susena had a enormous luck to obtain that treasure trove instead beacuse of his irreverance  to GOD got only a ring which he was very happy about, ignorant of his loss.

Secondly in the temple Susena disrespectfully ate the Devi’s offering and susarma kept fast all the night . Susena threw away precious stones thinking as pebbles in the mouth while rejoicing food to fill his belly. yet susarma got the precious stones for his fast.

In all actions done in the right spirit with devotion to GOD is instantaneously rewarded , evils are avoided and benefits are increased manyfolds.Evil people never rejoice .their miseries increase and benefits shrink day by day .

Wise sage could see all this because of his mastery on astrology .only jyotish solves intricate problems of the life & leads to GOD Vision.

in the next post we shall delve deep into how astrology can unravel human goals.
