I am though an athiest, but with the past time I spent in this world, there is a realization of cyclicity in everything.
There are good times and bad times one has to face. Sometimes, there is a time when we get entangled in uninvited problems.. even get dragged into them and there is no way to escape. There is some sort of weakness and recessiveness that takes us deeper and deeper into a negative and failed character. It may even cost our health, life or precisely make us see the worst of this world. After that, a time comes, when we reach our peak of life in performance, career etc., and no one can touch us. May be, that is the time we actually relish the bad times gone by. Again, as we grow, the circle of life increases in diameter, and we keep going back to the bad times in cyclicity, but with lesser acuteness, like a larger circle as lesser momentum. This goes on in the entire life, like a vertical pendulum (dropping is positive, climbing back is negative time of life).
I believe.... there is some relationship in cyclicity of the planets and stars which with their movements cause occult changes in our body/brain all the time.. and hence all this happens.. Yes we are a heap full of minerals running inside us, and these magnetic circles affect our nature, health and prosperity.
I am quite amazed, which a panditji told me between the age of 12- 15 yrs. It has been happening as he predicted lot of major events from his patra, telling planet positions for me. He tried lot of prayers, yagyas, angoothis to resolve during my hard times... but nothing ever changed and I had crossed all barriers on my own (the time when I did become an atheist).
However, he did realize during his resolving efforts (yagyas etc.), that not much of the prayers were being answered (actually nothing).. and he did say that these planets and stars have to pay you back later if they do not answer these prayers!
He passed away a couple of years back, and I do feel that I lost a legacy to know more about the rest of my life.
In conclusion, we need to live on our own, always doing the best. Bad times do come always, but we should face them undettered, as a part of life and be positive for the positive to come in future. We should always resolve the most difficult first, without wasting any time. We should not leave things for God to resolve.. as what mishap is happening is to be resolved, and should work as we want!
