A Philosophy of Astrology
Author - Anil Chawla
23 October, 2004
Astrology is a much-maligned branch of knowledge. It has suffered
due to tall claims of astrologers as well as due to sledgehammer approach
of pseudo-scientists. This mini-book attempts to define the first principles
of astrology in a systematic manner. The author is not an astrologer, but
a philosopher, who would like the mini-book to be read by one and all.

LOVE - A DIVINE GIFT TO ONESELF
LOVE WITHOUT MOH
LOVE AND OBSESSION
Anil Chawla
15 November 2002, 24 December 2002 and 30 April 2002
Every form of love is a way of immersing
one's identity into the infinity of the cosmos. The experience is truly divine.
A discussion of the philosophy of love drawing from Jesus, Krishna
and Kabir. Christianity, Hinduism and Sufism converge in this philosophy.
This is a set of two articles. First elaborates on the philosophy of love.
Second article is about moh. Love is giving while moh is holding
and being held. Love gives and lets go, while moh gives with one had and tries
to tie up with the other. Love liberates while moh enslaves. Love has no
expectations while moh is full of expectations. Love does not possess, moh
is based on a sense of possession. Let us learn to love without moh.
The last article of the trilogy compares love and obsession.
Love is a relationship of caring and giving. Obsession is a display of power.
Love is submergence of ego, while obsession involves display of ego.
Confusing obsession with love is like drinking poison when one wants to have
milk.
If you like to read about love, please download the author's trilogy of short stories about love, lust and friendship in man-woman relationship.
