Structure of an Atom

Most of us believe that an atom is a dense basic building component which makes up all matter. Interestingly the largest portion of an atom is just plain space or vacuum. The atom is anything but dense and compact. The position of the electrons and sub atomic particles like protons and neutrons cannot be accurately determined. There are uncertainty and probability equations such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle which govern sub atomic particles.

This goes on to confirm the relevance of the first element in Vaastu called Space or Ether - the nothingness in which all of us exist. It is the most predominant element and the toughest to describe. Nothing in nature is perfect as the position of no particle can be accurately determined. Which leads me to believe that astrology and other prediction methods work on principles of probability rather than facts. They are governed by the belief that every person works and lives according to a pattern. This pattern is taken into account in order to predict an accurate future. This however could be inaccurate if drastic changes in patterns occur.

I am constantly reminded of one mythological story of a lady Savitri who is married to a man called Satyavan. Savitri is an extremely pious individual and she believed that only good begets a person who does good. However, she realised that her husband Satyavan had to die as per destiny at a young age. The story goes that when the lord of death comes to her house to take away her husband she challenges the lord of death with a series of questions. She protests that if she has done all good how can she be made to suffer. How can she live happily without society scorning her if her husband dies. How would she answer a persons claims that good does not beget good. She follows the lord of death and continues to question him till the point that the lord of death grants her a boon (other than giving Satyavan's life back) if she would return. She asks for her father to be blessed with more children. The god happy that he had solved the issue keeps travelling with Satyavan's soul. Savitri kept following the lord of death and he once again grants her a boon if she would return. She asks him to return her in -laws kingdom and riches back. The god of death proceeds once again. When the god of death looks back again after some time, Savitri was still following him. The god finally says I grant you one last boon - take it and return. Savitri asks for many sons and pleaded that Satyavan should be their father. The death god realizes that he was not going to win this one and makes an exception to let her husband live.

The story was about the power we all have on our destiny. The lord of death did not anticipate the change in Savitri's pattern of behaviour - by challenging the death of her husband. Savitiri changed her destiny based on a major shift and change in her behaviour pattern.
