Re: Re: Dreams and spirituality

Hi Sister Rosemary,

Swami Vivekananda said:

"Two things exist in the world — dream and reality. What we call life is a succession of dreams — dream within dream. One dream is called heaven, another earth, another hell, and so on. One dream is called the human body, another the animal body, and so on — all are dreams. The reality is what is called Brahman, that Being who is Existence, Knowledge, Bliss.

He is the Guru — the sage who wants to get rid of all these dreams, to stand aside and know his own nature — who wants to go beyond this self-hypnotism."

Read the whole article here: The Mundaka Upanishad_

-Also- Here is a link for a PICO Search Engine, which deals specifically with
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA. Simply enter the word, 'DREAMS'
into the Search Box and 156 Documents come up.

Enjoy!

My thanks to both Jayanti and Web Admin. Both replies were helpful...

Re: Re: Dreams and spirituality

Dreams regarding spiritual experiences are real. However as Jayanti mentioned it, it is best not to share them with the world.
Obviously you are on the right path, with shraddha and nishtha (faith and single minded devotion)you will progress. However, try not to focus on progress but enjoy the journey. Know whether you get a dream or not, your daily spiritual work and Mother's Blessings will reach you to the shore.

Today is Swamiji's birthday by the English Calender.

Happy Birthday Swamiji
