Many examples could be cited to show that vaastu, if followed in constructing one’s house, office or business place, one could be happy and prosperous. A question arises whether one can achieve everything in life by simply leaving in a house built as per vaastu. The answer is ‘No’ because Vaastu has its own limitations. Just because one has a house as per Vaastu, one cannot become a top celebrity. Nevertheless, if a plot is good as per Vaastu and a house is also built according to the Shastra, one may achieve many of the following:

- One may have health and happiness.
- Children may come up in life.
- One may succeed in getting good promotions, if in service.
- One may make good money, if in business.
- One may attain position and power, if in politics.
One may get the benefits as enumerated above, as per the degree of perfection in following Vaastu. If one can satisfy 70 to 75% of Vaastu, he should be very happy. It is interesting to note that some fortunate people have been living in good houses built as per vaastu, without knowing even elementary principles of the subject.
Construction of a house or a work place following Vaastu principles cent percent is not possible, because of the levels in and around the plot, shape of the plot, number of roads and direction of the roads abutting the plots. Hence one has to work with the available plot and construct the house or office to suit one’s requirements under the given circumstances to provide maximum benefit to the inmates of the house. An architect bestowed with the knowledge of Vaastu designs the building, striking a balance between the two depending upon the importance of one or the other as the case may be.
