Vastu Shastra considers having milky sap-yielding plants in close proximity especially around the entrance or inside of house inauspicious because they are believed to bring negative energy and financial difficulties. These plants are believed to disrupt the natural flow of positive energy around the house, which can lead to various problems for the dwellers of the house.
This can be corroborated with a scientific logic:
-Sap yielding plants attract pests and insects which may make their way into the house besides spreading to other plants in the vicinity and potentially damaging them.
-The decomposition of fallen leaves and other organic matter from sap yielding plants can affect soil composition and nutrient levels. While this can be beneficial in some cases, it might also lead to nutrient imbalances if not managed properly.
-Large sap yielding trees can have extensive root systems that compete with other plants for water and nutrients, potentially affecting the growth of nearby vegetation.
-Sap yielding plants often require regular maintenance, such as pruning and cleaning up sap spills, which can be time-consuming and labor intensive.
-Some sap yielding plants can produce irritant substances that may cause skin allergies or irritation upon contact.
-The root systems of large sap-yielding trees can sometimes damage foundations, sidewalks, or underground pipes if planted too close to structures. This can lead to costly repairs and maintenance.
-Significant sap drips can create a mess on driveways, patios, and outdoor furniture. The sticky residue can attract dust, insects, and other debris, leading to unsightly stains and increased cleaning efforts.

After being acquainted with Vastu Shastra and its principles almost two decades ago and exploring, studying, practicing and applying in everyday life since then, I am now able to postulate that there are typically three types of Vastu:
1. Mega Vastu - applicable for establishing, cities, towns, villages and communities. Its scope is massive and require large scale operation. This is practically unchangeable. e.g. lay of land plot, streets, etc.
2. Macro Vastu - applicable for construction of dwellings, apartments and complexes. This has medium level operation. This can be customized to comply with Vastu principles at the time of construction. The lay of land, orientation and streets are, however, fixed and cannot be changed. Requires significant amount of reinvestment if needed to be altered post construction in order to make it Vastu compliant. e.g room arrangements, doors, windows, plantations, etc.
3. Micro Vastu - applicable to daily life, highly customizable, dictates for cleanliness and routine personal etiquette. Requires minimal effort and investment. e.g. placement of objects, artifacts, sound, shadows and shades.

Universe is composed of matter and everything in it has its own unique vibrations or frequencies. This concept is explored in scientific and philosophical domains. In physics, the concept of vibrations can be related to the behavior of particles at the quantum level where everything is in constant motion and has a specific frequency. In metaphysical sense, it is these vibrations that influence our energy and well-being. For example, feeling good and elated all of a sudden without any obvious reason when you get to a place or environment or just being around someone that you know or even with someone you never met or interacted before. This is due to a manifestation or outburst of positive vibe and energy that just got amplified when your innate vibrations matched to that specific surrounding or individual. Similarly you feel low and depressed when you get to another place or meet another individual. There was possibly a discord of whose frequencies. Each individual is different and may feel exactly the opposite in above cases. Another example is when you suddenly feel sick, fatigued, numbness or tingling in hands when you step a spot or environment. There is possibly a tunnel, sewers, geological faults below or nearby that caused a geopathic stress. This disturbance may also affect animals and they change their behavior suddenly without a known reason.

Ancient hindu scripture "Bhagavad Gita" emphasizes selfless action and detachment from outcomes as central to the concept of karma. However, it is not very wrong to say consequences in life are the results of actions or karma. Good karma results in good and bad karma in bad consequences. If doing good karma doest give good results then it is either due to your destiny, luck or something else. That "something else" could be due to a disruption in the flow of positive energies when essential elements are in dissonance. Vastu Shastra can help in bringing balance between those five essential elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Ether (Space). Applying vastu principles in everyday life may not essentially make anyone rich or prosperous, cure illness or rid all obstacles and difficulties overnight, but it is worth trying. Afterall, it dictates for a mesdy and clutter free living space around your homes or offices.
