Aptavani-1
Dadashri : Dreams are all tubers (complexes). Dream is karma bound by two types of bodies. It is not karma bound by three types of bodies. Therefore only two bodies experience it.
bodies is nothing but a dream. It is illusion (ignorance of one's Real Self) that makes people believe the dream of three bodies as real
Questioner : Can one bind karmas while dreaming?
Dadashri : No, dreams are an effect only. Karmas cannot be bound during dreams because the ego remains inactive.
In a dream, the causal body and subtle body are at work. The relative self (pratishthit atma) is the seer of the dream and the pure Self (shuddhatma) is the Knower and Seer of the relative self. The higher the number of obscuring veils of karma one has, the less one sees. As the veils become thinner, the dream is seen with more clarity. Some people claim they never dream. But they do have dreams; they simply cannot recollect them because of their dense karmic veils.
What exhilaration a pauper feels when he becomes a king in his dream?! But the moment he wakes up, he finds himself where he was before. Similarly this worldly life is a dream. As soon as one wakes up from this worldly dream, one has no cause for exhilaration. Everything remains as it is. After one departs from this worldly life, everything that belongs here remains here; nothing accompanies the one who leaves from
here.
The worldly life is the dream of open eyes and the other is a dream of closed eyes. Both are effective. The only difference is that in the wakeful state, egoism is present.
One man told me that he cried for two hours during a dream but when I appeared in his dream, it soothed him and everything subsided. He felt as light as a flower. You gain abundantly more by seeing 'Dada' in your dreams and asking for His assistance than by seeing Him in person. This Dada is capable of doing everything even in a dream, but you should know how to ask. Many of my mahatmas see Dada every day in their dreams. The scriptures say: "The One (Gnani) who is seen even once in a dream
Will shatter all illusions of the mind"
The darshan of a Gnani Purush, even in a dream, will put an end to all illusions of the mind.
The dreams you see during sleep involve two bodies. The Gnani asks if you believe the dream of the two bodies to be real? No. Similarly, for the Gnani even the dream of three bodies is not real. For the Gnani even the wakeful state of the three
You can have thousands of dreams at night but they leave no effect on you when you wake up because during sleep you remain only as the Seer (drashta) of dreams and the ego is not operative there. The Gnani Purush remains the Knower and Seer of the passing circumstances even during the wakeful state. He is aware of the changes in the circumstances every samay (the minutest fraction of time which cannot be divided further). There is no trace of egoism in the Gnani, and therefore, even in a wakeful state he finds everything to be a dream. The Gnani Purush always remains the Knower and the Seer of everything.
Fear
Every living creature in this universe is troubled by fear. Fear is inherent in every living being but the intensity of fear is within normal limits. They feel fear only when the circumstances of fear arise. Humans, however suffer from viprit (wrong) fear. Viprit means in a single situation of fear, one will see or imagine hundreds more. It is also viprit fear to see fear where there is
