Dreams Vs Reality

Recommended Posts

Often we say dreams do come true but we always elieve that dreams doesn't come true. The dreams that we see while sleeping. But if we look at history, isn't Dreams are like reality. Through out Guru Sahib times, people had Darshan of Him. Didn't through out times, Guru sahib had vanished the sin's of their Gursikh's?

I don't know but that's what i have read and heard in many Saakhi's. Thou Guru sahib says , this whole world and life is a dream itself. Leaving this aside, if we have a dream from our true heart means, that have no "cleverness" hidden in it, so does that Dream come true? And by keeping in mind, Amrit Vela is to Nitnem not dreams. SO Dreams of amrit vela never gets true?

I am confused and i am sure every one will get confused after reading this post. May be some one can help me to understand this.

From what I have read and understood from Gurbani, dreams are like a disease too. They are an affliction upon the mind

ਜਗੁ ਸੁਪਨਾ ਬਾਜੀ ਬਨੀ ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਖੇਲੁ ਖੇਲਾਇ ॥

The world is a drama, staged in a dream. In a moment, the play is played out.

ਗਿਰੰਬਾਰੀ ਵਡ ਸਾਹਬੀ ਸਭੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਪਨੁ ਥੀਆ

who live in wondrous affluence and rule over mountains, oceans and vast dominions-O Nanak, in the end, all this vanishes like a dream!

ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਵੀਚਾਰੀਐ ਸੁਪਨਾ ਇਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਲੋਇ

Through the Guru's Teachings, they come to understand and see that this world is just a dream.

I don't know if you've ever had a lucid dream - I've had quite a few. A lucid dream is one where you know you are dreaming. This allows you to control your actions in a dream. You can run, you can talk to other people etc. Now imagine a dream world where everybody is in a dream and if you talk to someone, they are dreaming that they are talking to you.

This all gets a bit Matrix-y but maybe the quotes will help?

I don't know about dreams from our heart. A true Brahmgiani never dreams. He never even sleeps.

As for darshan of Guru Ji in our dreams. I don't know what this means. I had a dream a few weeks back of a Mahapurash Ji. I didn't recognise him but the sangat who were in the dream knew him and they knew that he had passed away many years ago. ie the Mahapurash came back to life in my dream.

Don't know if you can call that Darshan.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
