Debate / Argument

I never like to debate or argue with anybody as everybody has their own views, beliefs, and faiths. I don't like to change their views or criticize their beliefs. But still, some people try to drag me into it as soon as they come to know that I am an Astrologer. I would like to share one such experience in this post.

I visited a Music Teacher (Keyboard player) to know about the admission procedure for my son. During our conversation, he came to know about my profession and asked the questions to influence me about his faith.

The conversation is as follows:

Music Teacher's Q: You are a well educated person and an MBA Professional, how can you believe in Astrology?

My Ans. Since, I am an educated person and a Professional, I believe Astrology. My education taught me to respect sastras, vedas, and vedangas. Astrology is one of the Vedanga and I believe it.

Music Teacher's Q: How can the planets influence people on earth?

My Ans. Doesn't Moon influence the Sea level causing high tides on Full Moon and New Moon days. You can observe the psychologically ill persons on these days as there will be a lot of variations in their behaviour. Likewise, all planets show their influence on us.

Music Teacher's Q: Astrology cannot be seen, it is fake?

My Ans. Astrology cannot be seen, it can be felt.

Music Teacher's Q: In my religion, we don't believe Astrology. we believe in God.

My Question: Ok, show me your God as you believe his existence.

He answered me, His God is a spirit and cannot be seen.

I concluded the conversation and told him, you have never seen your God and still believe him. You think that your belief is right. Likewise, everybody has their own beliefs. You don't have the right to question the other people about their beliefs and faiths.

Every Religion says, ''Trust God"

I respect all religions & living beings. Above all, I am a Human Being.
