Dr. Sharma shares a deeply motivating and empowering couplet that challenges the fatalistic view of astrology.
Many people believe that because their planetary placements are bad, they are doomed to suffer. Dr. Sharma completely rejects this. He acknowledges that life will bring massive storms ("kitne ho toofan")βrepresenting bad transits, dashas, and hardships.
However, he urges the native to never let their internal fire, hope, and willpower extinguish ("bujhne na de andar ke diye"). He reminds them that the Divine ("Rab") did not just give them a pre-written destiny; He gave them hands, intellect, and free will to take action and rewrite their own story ("khud ki kahani likhne ke liye"). Karma always supersedes destiny.
