dreams

Ik oankar satnaam sat gurparsaad||

Dandauth bandhna to one and all,

 

Dear Sangat of the Guru ji,

 

since Dassan Dass ji told us a couple of weeks ago that our dreams also form part of our record of deeds (KARNI) we have beomce more aware of our behaviour in dreams.

Now after doing simran with guru's kirpa, we lie back and fall asleep.  We had a couple of inspiring dreams of Baba Ji last week.  In one dream we were sitting outdoors on a chair next to a young sant with a colourful turban.  Everyone was in chairs and the sangat was asking questions and the young sant ji was giving answers.   The surroundings were like a tropical island.   We then asked the Sant ji "how does one go into SAT SAMADHI" and the Sant ji opened his mouth and really beautiful kirtan bagan pouring out, "peevoh pahul khandey dhar" ..drink the holy water of the double edged sword.   (We realised that this was the shabad that was playing on our ipod by Sri Nagar Wale whilst we were in this dream state).  Then the Sant Ji added, "Do dandauth to the Sants".   At which we got up and did dandauth to them.  As we were walking away from the sangat we saw the face of Baba ji in the body and dress of an old style Nihang - blue round turban, short blue tunic only upto the thighs, and long white boxer shorst (kachera) over the knees.  He had avery strong and lean muscualr body and was observing the Sant ji and his disciples.  We went to do dandauth bandhna to Baba Ji as the Nihang and he held us back.  Not sure why.

 

A few days later, after doing simran again and going into dream state, we were once again on thee beautiful tropical island.  This time we saw Baba ji's face but wearing a saffron turban of a Sadhu, sitting on the grass by a peaceful lake.  He was giving discourse on the HIRDHA - the heart centre and the 10-20 or so disciples were listening intently.  We were aware that there was some larger religiuos organisation using the island as their base, but Baba ji was doing teaching of Truth to the ones who were ready for it.

 

All we can say is that in Gurbani it says that God is "jogee andhar jogeea, bhogee andher bhogeea"  meaning  God is the Yogi inside the Yogi, God is the Enjoyer inside the one who is enjoying.   So Baba Ji is the Sant inside all Sants no matter what they look like on the outside - nihang, sadhu and so on.

 

Other dreams we are having is the realisation that the 5 thieves are back to test us.  One night we felt we had lost our camera and spent the whole night looking for it = MOH MAYA - fear of losing worldly possessions.  This morning we felt we were surrounded by three or four young attractive women and one of them lunged forward and started kissing us.  We felt our Kaam dhoot rising and body getting excited, but we didn't indulge in kaam.

 

We say some things out of LOBH (greed) and we also say things with KRODH (anger) in thw family.

 

Which leaves HAUMAI, this keeps telling us that its ok to relax, to chill out, to take it easy from doing seva, to take it easy from getting up at amritvela and to watch more tv as itts good to take a break.  But we know we are slipping back down from GOD'S GRACE back into MAYA.  So we pray to Guru ji last night before sleeping "we dont want maya, we have been running around in maya circles and thoughts like these for a long time, we dont want to slip back into it Guruji.  Mohi na visaro ji ma jun tera ..please dont forget about me Lord, I am your servant."   Then we lay down next to our wife and put our palm on the centre of her back and just relaxed,  didnt formally pray for anything or want anythin to happen, but we were thinking that our wifes Nana (granddad deceased) loved her alot and cherished her and cared for her, and thinking of that love it reminded us of how much God loves our wife and cherishes her.  Then our wife started laughing and couldnt stop, saying "what are you doing?"  and we replied we are not doing anything at all. And she kept laughing for another 5 minutes.  Then she turned over and we put our palm over her belly button and she started laughing again "saying what are you doing!!".  We said we are not doing anything ji."  then she was quiet and said that she could feel stirring inside her tummy area.   We said to her that God does it all.  Santa kay karaj aap kholoiaa har kam karavana ayaaa ram ..God does the tasks of the Sant, God Himself comes to do it.  And she replied "are you a Sant now"  and we replied "we are just lost in five thieves, but god still does everything."

 

So we are still far from the stage of doing Satnaam Satnaam in our dreams and we know the dhoots wont bother us at all if we only say SatNaam.   The solution to that is to keep doing the ardas Dassan Dass ji gave us on the website and to keep on praying ot God-Guru all day and to do satnaam simran all day whenever we can.  So it foes so deep, that when we dream we behave the same way.

 

Please forgive us for all our mistakes.

 

Dust of your feet
