The Many Dangers of Prejudice Why would these grahs (planets) come to obstruct us? What have we spoiled for them that they would obstruct us? In reality, the nine grahs within: aagrah, duragrah, matagrah, mithyagrah, hathagrah, kadagrah, satyagrah, parigrah and purvagrah, are the ones that are obstructing us. Based on what you have heard or read about a thing, a circumstance or a person, you bind an opinion for that without even verifying its truth. Gradually it turns into prejudice. Such prejudices give rise to results far worse than those that the planets in the horoscope would. By harboring prejudice, it later results in suspicion. Suspicion is a great weakness; it is destructive to the Self. Dada says, “Let go of the prior judgments, as one is constantly changing.” It is our ardent prayer that by doing Purusharth with jagruti, mahatmas attain a life free of prejudice, through which they can progress towards the state of the absolute Self.
