None in the world thinks that what he/she has done or is doing is right or wrong. We always choose to do the best in a given situation of a given environment. A woman who aborts the child doesn’t think she was wrong, but the Christian missionaries say it is a sin. If a self-proclaimed saint gets angry and yells at his disciples, he says he is helping his disciples grow, where in the scripture says anger is bad. And if a married man sleeps outside marriage, he says – men are genetically engineered so, but the wives mind that a lot. And if a woman sleeps outside marriage, she says she didn’t get enough attention from her husband, while the society says she is wrong.

With so many contradictions & difference of perceptions the very concept of good and bad actions get sublimated and everything gets complied into a mere concept of relativity – what one finds right might be wrong for someone else, and what one finds wrong might be right for someone else, and believe me no mortals have any authority to give anyone a clear cut guideline about what is a right action and what is a wrong action. Pray to God. Follow your instinct and also the inner light you are born with - things will be taken care of….

Out of my many clients, I have few interesting clients who are gays, lesbians, swingers and swappers. To be honest my job isn’t to make them feel bad about whatever is giving them momentary pleasure or happiness. And whichever path you choose – to go behind money, to go behind power, to go behind woman or to go behind God – there are struggles, there are ups and downs, there are dejections and there are happiness.

Never ever think that enlightened people are always happy – they are unhappy too, they fall down too, and they get dejected too. But then they choose to go on with a smiling face just to escape being called a hypocrite. If you are born a mortal, you will remain a mortal all through.

From my meager knowledge of spirituality I can vouch that there is no difference between a drunk womanizer and a holy saint – they are one the same! Just that the drunk womanizer tries to find happiness in booze and woman, while the Holy Saint tries to find happiness in the concept of God - end of the day both try to seek happiness one way of the other!

It should be in the year 2003 I met a couple who seemed to be completely happy about their marriage. They were good looking, they were rich, and they had wonderful jobs on hand. I checked the guy’s chart, and found an astrological combination that was completely opposite to what I was seeing. He had massive affliction for marriage – a combination to the extent of physical separation from spouse. I asked him – don’t you have any problems in your marriage, and he said not at all - we love each other, we are good friends, and we are happy that we met each other.

This particular case was a challenge to me. The question kept popping up in my mind day in and day out for almost 3 months – how come they are having a good marital life in spite of his chart being so bad for marriage?

My doubts got cleared when the guy opened up one day – saying you are right in a way Kennedi. I said what happened? And he replied that – they never had sex after marriage. I asked why? And he replied - his wife is a lesbian!
