Quotes by Rishi Vidyadhar ji

• There are 12 nakshatras and 9 planets, so a person can be affected in 108 ways by them. Understand that each combination is like a folder with some of your past impressions stored in it and there is one folder called "AS U WISH".

By Sahaj we delete the impressions and the folders start getting empty so whatever folder has to open at whatever time of life according to planetary configurations open up. With Sahaj either the impressions are negligible or wiped out. So the planetary config has no or minimum effect on you. And there is one key to unlock the "AS U WISH " folder - "INCREASE UR SATTVA.... more you increase it more you can access it.

• Your efforts should be to become effortless - when you are completely in the present moment the things you have to do in the next moment come to you in this moment.
