Satsang can any one guide on this

Satsang can any one guide on this

Om Sai Ram
Dear Kartikiyer ji,
Well, there are two different ways that this could be explained--
The first one is that we all agree that we see dreams in the night while we are sleeping but we also agree that we all do not remember everything that we see when we wake up in the morning and thus are able to continue with our daily so called 'real lives' that we beleive it to be without having any confusions. Since we just sometimes remember bits and pieces of one dream that was over whelming to us, the fact is that it can not make us rule out the possibility of whether indeed we do have a continuity of our dreams in our sleeping state just like our lives continue normally when we wake up in the morning.So the fact remains, everything is maya- what we experience during our waking state and what we see during our sleeping state.Nothing is real-its all maya.The only thing that is real is ur soul which is waiting for you to realize that all what u see around you is maya and to come out of it and only then u will be able to see something that is actually real and that is the great power -- the bright light---God ,who created this universe and something to fascinate all of us which is nothing but MAYA...
Another logical explaination could also be this --
We all know that what ever we see in our dreams during the sleeping state is representing our so called real lives. The feelings and emotions that for some reason remain supressed in our normal day to day life -are experienced in our sleeping state. King Janaka dreampt that he was a beggar and was alone in a jungle, he had lost his mind and was hungry for food ---- Well, this could be interpreted as his hunger for spiritual knowledge .In the path of spiritual knowledge , are'nt we all alone loosing our minds with what is right and what is wrong - what is real and what is unreal--- our desires pull us one way and temptations attract us making us do things which only a mad person can do .. If u go to think of it -we all are in a jungle-it is just that we are trying to save ourselves not from tigers ,lions and other wild animals instead we are all trying to be away from the wild beast which actually are nothing but bad temptations like greed ,ego ,selfishness ,pride , cheating and the list goes on and on.. King Janaka dreampt that he saw some men washing dishes and vessels after a feast which they shared and that he ran towards them seeking some crumbs,some little quantity of rice scraped from the vessels ,that he was about to eat but a bird swooped it out of his grasp and so he was left hungry ,angry and in pain--- this could be interpreted as:: the men whom he met who were washing dishes after a feast were the learned men in his court whom he gained spiritual knowledge from and who had the pleasure of being with the king and getting a royal treatment. The learned men did share a little knowledge with the king which were the crumbs but maya swooped it all when the king went to sleep. The pain and grief of the king were nothing but his disappointments in the path of gaining spiritual knowledge.
In the end , it is just God what is real and the rest is all a dream.A dream that sometimes we see when we are sleeping and sometimes we see when we are awake.
Allaah Maalik!
