I dont know how and why? I have developed this fascination for reading. The speaking Tree and Sacred Space columns of Times of India for the last few years. It has almost become an obsession to read thse just like I have my breakfast and dinner. Hats Off to Times fo India for these columns on centre page. The last night I had a peculiar dream. One of my colleagues / friends proessional Acquintance (not so much known) drops into my library / office ...saying "thank you for the invite.... / I said ' oh it is my pleasure.... me, my friend said a colleague of my mine get to the auditorium and get to the podium. Instead of chairs there was a long streatching matress on wwhich we a ere resting .... relaxing. That was a very light and relaxing moment f9or we three or rour we / were convrsing some things which I dont remember now. I dont know whether we were relaxing... or almost e had ... ere lying . There is a sleeping position.... The whole auduience infront of of us and wer were shispering...gossipping. Suddenly my colleague asks me what time the program starts? Then suddenly vwake up. oh is there a program/? My God I forgot..... e need to arrange for it... oh my God the audience is already there in front of us and we really did not do anything. How come the uests of honour did not arrive? Then the dream shatters........... and I keep thinking on te dream..that went by. How come dreams are at times so illogical..... disconnected and meanless. Now this time of the day I have got to write on this when I incidentally happen tro read something.....by Jui Padegar on Aurobindo (TOI, the Speaking Tree 6-9-2010). According to Aurobindo, "There are several realms of consciousness beyond the physical world we live in and that these planes of consciousness are in facct and that these planes of consciousness are in fact the other worlds that are as real as we take our own world to be. When one sleeps the subconscient mind is freed from the shackles of the mind that operates in the physical world, travelling across other those other worlds soaking in the experiences both good and bad..... that are needed for further consciousness evolution of the individual in the dream state.
I end this write up with the words of Marguerite Theophil, .... working with "What is means to seek meaning within the absurd, peace within chaos, light within darkness, joy within sufering without the need to deny the reality of absurdity, chaos darkness and sufering" (The Speaking Tree, Your faithfully with grace, Times of India, 01-10-2010).
