Seeing Life As a Dream


Seeing Life As a Dream
The wise people see life as a dream. You should see the whole past as a dream. Dreams are nothing but memories of impressions. It is all gone. And this (the present) will become a dream. It will be gone.
Similarly, if you think about it, you will live day after day, day after day, for another 50 years on this planet, and then you will wake up and say, ‘Oh, it is like a dream, it is all gone’. Correct!
And it is knowledge that turns every nightmare into a sweet dream.
=======================
We are tiny and sweet; delightful like sesame seeds with jaggery. So stay small and sweet and you will truly become big. And if you think you are very big and important in any field or aspect then the downfall will begin.
=======================
Makar Sankranti is an occasion for spreading sweetness around you through expression and thought. The traditional exchange of til gur (a mixture of sesame seeds and Jaggery) is symbolic of that. May everyone retain this spirit of sweetness throughout the year.
=======================
Q: Please suggest some easy way to acquire wealth (Laxmi).
Guruji: Hard work and confidence. Self-confidence, sankalpa and diligence should go together.
======================
Q: What is the purpose of having Til Gud (Sesame seed and Jaggery) on Makar sankranti?
Guruji: Makar Sankranti is being celebrated in India. ‘Til gud gyaani gode gode bola’ (Take sesame and jiggery and speak sweetly). The message of Makar Sankranti is that we should consider ourselves insignificant like the sesame seed. Do not consider yourself a very important person. Consider yourself like the sesame seed. Look at the sesame seed - it is black on the outside and white inside. Nowadays, it is the reverse. People are black from inside, but look fair on the outside. Not that! We need purity inside too, purity within. We are insignificant like the sesame seed, and sweet as jaggery (gud). Do not forget this message. So what are we? We are the sesame seed as well as the jaggery.
I want that in every village of this country, a wave of spirituality should arise. In every village, satsang should happen, people should do kirtan, bhajan and meditation. A wonderful atmosphere will spread. So, all of you take this pledge - people in groups of ten should go from village to village and do kirtan there, have them do meditation, and transform the atmosphere there.
Om Namah Shivay
