JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND THE HOLY GHOST AND MY DIARY OF DIVINE DREAMS

Chapter 9

               

TEACHINGS  BY  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

 29)   27^th September, 1973. 

Early morning dream:  Diamond took me to the topmost room of a house. I observed that the room space had the capacity for only two persons. Diamond made me sit in front of him and started giving me spiritual teachings. When I woke up I could not remember anything.

[The dream indicated thus: Top room is the 7^th plane of the cerebrum which is the place of God. During austerity, God-the-Preceptor comes to the seer and teaches religious aspects. Nothing could be remembered .It means all the lesions remained within the seer as dormant and in due course of time these will be manifested.]

                                                                                                                                          

ELIMINATION  OF MY  OLD  PREJUDICES

30)   18^th  October ,  1973 .   Early morning dream :  I was seated in a room alone having that some ghosts were present in that house . But I did not show any attention to it . ‘Suddenly a word ‘Narayan’( the top deity of Hindus ) began to emerge from my mouth and noticed that the ghosts disappeared . After a while the name of ‘Jibankrishna’ (Diamond’s real name ) was uttered from my mouth automatically and then I woke up .

[The meaning of the dream appeared thus: Room - Body; Ghost - old prejudices. They disappeared with the name of God. It means when a man gets God within him all his old prejudices disappear. Ghost does not exist outside. It is within each and every human being. They are seen within the body and after projecting outside a man sees Ghost outside.]

ACCOMPANINENT  WITH  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

31)   19^th  October, 1973.   Early morning dream:  Diamond and I was living together in a house. I was sometimes sitting, sometimes lying beside Diamond as if he was so intimate. I was passing my time in this manner and then at one time I noticed my other three brothers sitting with Diamond. Once he was talking to my elder brother and I exclaimed, ‘Oh! Diamond already passed away! How and what way they would take him’! At this moment my dream went off.

[The dream indicates thus:  Firstly the seer is having a close and continuous company with God-the-Preceptor and secondly other brothers are having grace of God-the-Preceptor through the seer in an indirect manner.]

SRI  CHAITANNYA  DEVA’S  APPEARANCE

32)   26^th October , 1973.  

Early morning dream: I saw a tall young man of about six feet high and having a very strong built man in front of me . He were a ‘kaupin’ (a small piece of cloth as is used by village Indian wrestlers) and stood inside a hut as if he was going to leave the house after taking ‘Sannyas’(monk life ) . It appeared to me, was he Chaitanya Deva ? Suddenly somebody said within him, ‘He is Sri Chaitanya Deva’. I continued looking at him for a long time and then the dream went off.

The dream revealed thus:

1)   To see Chaitanya Deva means visualizing pure consciousness in the loving form;

2)   ‘Kaupin’ indicates detachment from worldly affairs;

3)   In one way the seer’s previous birth was seen.

4)   It was annihilation of time. This whole universe is within a human brain including past, present and future. Any moment these appear in a pure mind of a human being.

Sri Chaitanya Deva was a prophet in Bengal 500 years ago and was the founder of Vaisnaba cult . Actually his figure was same as seen in the dream as described in books. Traditional sketches do not match his figure.

 ATTAINMENT OF  SPECIAL  KNOWLEDGE

33)   30^th October, 1973.    

Early morning dream: I was dwelling in a house with Diamond .Sometimes we were in a gossiping mood, sometimes he was taking bath. At one time I shared the milk from his glass and drank the whole milk. After taking bath Diamond entered his room and my dream went off .

This was the second time I spent such a long time with Diamond in my dream.

[This dream has reference in the Bengali book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’—‘God-the-Preceptor’ teaches. He will be present in the causal body and it will appear to the seer that God-the-Preceptor is always with him .In the causal body the realization will appear and the seer witnesses’.

Here drinking milk means special knowledge about God will be revealed in the body of the seer. Sharing milk from Diamond’s glass indicates that the seer will share the special knowledge attained by Diamond in future.

Ref : ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ 705—“the attainment of special knowledge starts from seeing the universe within the body and ends with seeing the ‘manikin’ within the body followed by endless sportive forms of God to ‘Absolute’ and vice-versa”

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )

545. “The demon Hiranyaksha was to be killed. God incarnated Himself as a sow. Hiranyaksha was killed. But God would not go back to His heavenly abode. The sow’s life was a great enjoyment to Him. Several young ones were born to him and He was very happy with them. The gods in heaven felt the separation. They consulted Siva and requested him to bring god to heaven. Siva agreed, came to the sow, made Him known His Godhood, but the sow disagreed to leave the body. Then Siva with his trident destroyed the sow-body. The Lord came out a-laughing and went to His Heavenly abode”.

It is a very fine allegory where it is clearly depicted a through picture of a man for attainment of Godhood.

Demon Hiranyaksha – Egoism or ‘I’-ness.

Sow – a living picture of animality but yet there is Godhood in embryo in the sow even.

Hiranyaksha was killed – Animality was partly annihilated.

The ten Avatars are – (a) Fish, (b) Tortoise, (c) Sow, (d) Half-man and half-lion, (e) The Dwarf, (f) Parasurama, (g) Rama, (h) Krishna, (i) Buddha and (i) Kalki.

All the ten Avatars are but the ten aspects of an aspirant in the process of the Life Power transforming into God. They are all seen within the body as the Life Power marches in its upward course.

(a) Fish – a symbol of Atman in the first stage. Life Power is in the Pranamaya Kosha. Water represents Pranamaya Kosha. Fish is an aquatic animal.

(b) Tortoise – The same as fish. It denotes better life than fish.

(c) Sow – A quadruped – living on land – between the navel and the heart.

(d) Half-man and half-lion – The animal life is changing into divine life – divine and animal consciousness both combined – from heart to throat – the fourth plane and the fifth plane.

(e) The Dwarf – divinity but not in the full-fledged form. It is the sixth plane.

(f) Parasurama – It is the seventh plane and the zone of Raja Guna. Parasurama killed all the Kshatriyas. These Kasatriyas or warriors represent worldly activities. Each and every activity (Rajas) was annihilated.

(g) Rama – Knowledge of the Vedanta.

(h) Krishna – Vedanta and the Descent.

(i) Buddha – Practical moralities for the benefit of the society.

(j) Kalki – Universalism – having no restrictions or barriers or obstructions for transforming all into one in the spiritual world. All the time-worn ancient bindings have been set at naught. It is the summum bonum or the greatest manifestation of the Life Power. It is time now to remember the great Swami Vivekananda – “Being one with Divinity, there cannot be any further progress in that sense”.

Go back to His heavenly abode – the seventh plane.

Several young ones – plenty many fresh desires and thirsts for further enjoyment of the animal life.

Gods in heaven – the good cells in the cerebrum.

Separation – Pang of separation gives birth to a keen yearning.

They consulted Siva etc. – they united into one.

Siva – God-the-Preceptor of the Universe.

Siva agreed – God-the-Preceptor made the sow realize the sportive forms of the self.

Trident – In the medulla oblongata these three forks represent the three streams of Life Power as they come from the Muladhar and ultimately they make their way in the cerebrum where ego-consciousness is annihilated. The stick of the trident represent the backbone. The three forks at head of the trident represent – (1) Ida, (2) Pingala, and (3) Sushumna.

Destroyed the sow body – became devoid of the sense of the physical body.

Lord came out – Atman separated from the body.

A-laughing – indicating pleasure – i.e. Bliss in Samadhi.

Went to His heavenly abode – became Brahma.

Saturday, April 5, 1884

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )

542. “But manifestation of God in a man takes place in a greater degree”.

There is no other receptacle for God to get Himself manifested save and except the human body.

The idea of one section of Vedanta is that God permeates the Universe through and through. It is but a very happy imagination as no proof of it has ever been put forward.

Thakur’s realization in the temple of Kali, the goddess of Dakshineswar, that the whole inside of the temple containing any and every article was besmeared with God’s Light (Chaitanya or Consciousness) was explained by Himself when He declared that a jaundice-eyed man sees everything yellow.

The thing happens in the fourth plane. Your eyes are covered with yellow color which is but a reflection of the light newly manifested in the fourth plane. So with those eyes on whichever side you may turn, you shall be seeing yellow. This is a misconception or wrong way of explaining that God permeates the Universe through and through.

Yes, a man spontaneously gets himself transformed into Atman, God, or Brahma.

In a man when God incarnates as an Avatar, He is confined within the very same body. It is individualism and it does not bear any proof. It is Semitic or Dravidian cult. It is but a half measure.

When God manifests Himself as Brahma, it bears proof. It is Aryan cult and its proof will be realized by thousands and thousands of members of the human race as He will be seen by them within their own bodies.

It is but the evolution of the Life Power. The capacity of the Life Power cannot be gauged. Hence it is called Nirguna Brahma.

543. “Being entrapped in the snare of the five elements, even Brahma Himself weeps”.

Every man is Brahma in embryo. Every man wants to be liberated. His body allures and entices him to remain confined in the body. He forgets his own proper Self or Godhood.

544. “Don’t be forgetting that Rama had to weep for being stricken with grief at the bereavement of Sita”.

Sita – is the causal body. In the upward progress of the Life Power the causal body in the form of a god or goddess vanishes. But the aspirant for his devotion to his Ishta does not want to part with it.

It was so with Sri Radha – the heroine of the Bhagavat.

It was so with Sri Chaitanya.

It was so with Sri Thakur in the cottage at Panchavati when He was instructed by Totapuri Maharaj for Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

VISION  OF MY  FUTURE –

BLESSINGS  OF  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

24)  August. 1973.

Early morning dream:  Sitting alone I was thinking to leave my physical body with the thoughts that I have achieved the truth in my life and so I have no demand in my life. Suddenly Diamond appeared before me and said, ‘why are you thinking like this my boy? God will perform so many works through you in future’? With these words he disappeared suddenly.

[The dream supports the saying in the book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ page 21— ‘God-the-Preceptor’ gives blessings to the seer and says, many things will happen in your life’.

VISION  OF  NEAR  FUTURE –

BLESSINGS  OF  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR  ON  OTHER  DEVOTEES

25)   August,  1973. 

Early morning dream :  Diamond suddenly appeared before me and said, ‘see, they (other devotees who used to gather in one devotee’s residence to have spiritual discussions on Diamond) have become diverted . Since now I often appear before them in their dreams’. Here the dream went off.

[Amazingly, a new phase started within the devotees . After a long gap they started dreaming Diamond frequently and became rejuvenated.]

FIRST  EXPERIENCE  OF DREAMING  A  DEVOTEE

26)   August, 1973 :  

Early morning dream :  I saw many devotees having spiritual conversations between them . One of the devotee named Narayan was seen carrying a Bengali magazine (on Diamond) in his hand. Then the dream went off.

[The dream signifies thus: Seeing many devotees in the dream indicates increasing brain power. Another aspect is that a sense of attractions is growing within the seer for other devotees].

TEACHINGS  BY  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

27)   August, 1973. 

Early morning dream :  I saw many devotees sitting in a room with Diamond . I sat in front of  Diamond who was looking pale and thin . Suddenly a lady entered the room and went near the self of the wall to drink water in the glass kept for Diamond. I noticed that everybody was annoyed. But the lady ignoring all, wanted to drink water, and at that moment very surprisingly her hand with the whole body started shivering and some water fell on the body of Diamond. She immediately started popping the water from his body. Diamond wanted to prevent her, but she didn’t listen to him. When Diamond scolded her, I took her out of the room. The dream went off.

[In reality, women folks were not allowed to enter Diamond ‘s room. Whenever anybody wanted to do this, she had this similar experience. But strangely, the women folks always used to dream Diamond without seeing him in reality and later on they identified him from outside without his knowledge. ]

TEACHINGS  IN  DREAM –THE  FUTURE  LIFE  OF THE  SEER

28)   16^th September, 1973. 

Early morning dream:  One patient was brought to a hospital for admission accompanied by two men. The patient was crying due to pain and one of his companion went on weeping putting his head on the patient’s chest . Suddenly I saw another devotee Jiten Chatterjee started reading the book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ (written by Diamond). After a while the patient became calm. The companion who was weeping also started listening to him. Another companion said, ‘How sweet is the name of Sri Ramkrishna ! These words should be announced by loudspeaker. All troubles and shocks will be vanished .The dream then went off and I woke up.

After a while I again slept and dreamt a nice hilly place . I was standing on the road for a bus.

Marriage ceremonies were going on in two to three places. Hymns were being uttered. Two little girls were observing the ceremonies from behind. But all these could not touch my mind. Being unconcerned I was waiting for the bus and then went to the bus terminus. My dream went off and I woke up.

But again I fell asleep and this time dreamt that one of the devotee named Raghunath Sen was playing a tape recorder listening to devotional songs. When I woke up I felt a great peace and joy in mind.

[ The dream signifies thus :

1^st dream :  The patient is seer himself who in reality was greatly disturbed in his working place and became upset. Diamond’s book converted his hazards to peace and divine joy.

2^nd dream indicates that the seer will be devoid of any ritualism in real life.

The 3^rd dream indicates that in future the seer will lead a pure and simple life through continuous spiritual practices].

(Note: In the long run these came true in the seer’s life).

FORECAST ABOUT MY FUTURE BY SRI RAMKRISHNA

20)   3^rd September, 1972,  At noon I had a dream—A known monk of Sri Ramkrishna order had come to our house .After some conversations he told me, ‘Sri Ramkrishna Deva told me through a dream that after entering the College, you will have non-addiction of woman and wealth’. Here the dream suddenly went off.

[Diamond used to term Atman Visualization as matriculation pass in the spiritual world. Accordingly, the seer, after visualization of Atman (dream no 20) has passed matriculation examination and is going to enter College life. 

Detachment of woman and wealth means the seer will have no addiction for these two in his future life.]

GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR’S  BLESSINGS  FALL  ON  THE  SEER

21)    16^th September, 1972. 

Early morning dream:  I was standing alone on a place. Suddenly a serpent jumped on my back and sticking all alone my spinal cord gradually opened her fan on my head. Without any fear I stood still. And then the serpent moved away and jumped on the ground in front of me.

After this incident I went to Diamond and saw a number of devotees seated around him. I felt that I went to him after a long gap. One of the devotees was reading Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna and Diamond was giving explanations as he used to do in his lifetime.

Diamond was seated on his cot and I also sat on the floor in front of him. After a while Diamond started conversation with me.

Me –See, as I did my Ph. D. course, so I was deprived of your company and missed such a great phenomenon.

Diamond—No, No, my boy! It is good that you have got a footing.

Me—When I used to come to you long time back, I was a bit immatured. I could not under- stand you and your sayings.

Diamond—See, it matters little. You know that you were a teenager at that time and it is a natural habit for that age. Don’t worry for that.

Meanwhile I noticed that everybody was leaving the room one by one. Diamond came down from his cot and sat on the floor in front of me. He was looking very joyous. I thought that I had been chatting with him for such a long time, let me tell him that I was incapable of doing meditation. But I felt very uneasy to beg something from him as this was my natural habit in reality also.

Another thought came in my mind that he had expired 5 years ago, but looking so joyous and rejuvenated! Moreover I was having him in front of me, so why should I need meditation?

Then I told him, ‘so long I did not come to you, I should never do such mistake. The Puja holiday is knocking at the doo, I shall come to you at noon and stay full time’. He gave a sweet smile and said, ‘Yes you do that’. The dream was then off.

[The first scene indicated that kundalini, in the form of snake is awakened within the seer.

The second scene indicated that all the happenings happened in the real life of the seer are being wiped out by God-the-Preceptor from the seer’s mind through consolation.]

TEACHINGS  OF  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

AND  NARRATION  OF  PREVIOUS  DREAM  WITHIN  A  DREAM

22)   6^th December, 1972, Wednesday .  

Early morning dream :  I had gone to Howrah town (adjacent to Calcutta where Diamond used to reside) . But with a great surprise, I noticed that most of the old buildings had been demolished substituted by new ones. Everything was looking attractive with lakes, gardens, modern architectural buildings . I went on thinking that henceforth I should stay here permanently.

However, I also noticed that the lane where one of my friend Nisith (who took me to Diamond in reality) used to reside became widened and I was sitting in a Doctor’s Chamber just at the entrance of the lane (in reality it was so). Suddenly I saw that Diamond came and sat beside me. I began to read Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna so that he could hear it : I had also some conversations with him in between reading. Diamond looked very joyous and I felt very happy seeing him after a long gap . But I was feeling guilty for having a long gap of meeting him (which happened in reality). So I asked him, ‘well, since I left you, you must have  forgotten me’ !

Diamond—What are you saying! Why should I not remember you!

Me—You have never seen me within you in trance, then I am not your close associate!

Diamond—Oh, No! No! Who said this to you!

While saying these to me, he continued patting on my body. Meanwhile he went out to the corridor. I kept sitting holding the book in my hand. Suddenly I noticed that my elder brother was also seated  there  However, I thought that before Diamond’s departure, I should pay my salute on his feet . But at this moment suddenly I woke up and thought that the dream remained incomplete. Let me sleep again to see the last part of my dream and so I slept again and saw in the dream that Diamond again had come to me in the same place as before. This time he was standing on the corridor (as he did in the previous dream) and continued our conversations.

Me—You know that I had a dream. Diamond came forward and said, ‘Say , what you have dreamt’. I narrated the same dream seen in my first dream and asked, ‘well, is this dream signifying my reflection of mind’? With a smiling face he said, ‘I shall say something to you’. But he did not say anything and went away. The dream went off.

[Firstly, the dream was a corroboration of the serial number 811 of the Bengali book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ written by Diamond based on his personal reflections . (Vide dream no 5).

Secondly, this was the first experience in dream where I narrated the previous scene in the next one.]

WILL  RECEIVED  FROM  GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

23)   9^th December, 1972.  Saturday.  Early morning dream:  I had gone to Diamond at Kadamtala, Howrah. He was then seated on his cot. I entered into the room and sat on the floor. There were many other devotees sitting on floor. Conversations were going on. Later on all except one went away. That person was unknown to me. Diamond came down from his cot and sat on the floor in front of me. Then he took a piece of paper and told me to sign on the paper. It seemed as if he wanted to make a will for the seer. However, I signed on the paper. But it seemed to be a bit wetly and soft. Diamond asked me, ‘can you take a good dictation’? I said, ‘Yes’. He then started giving dictation in English and I also started writing: with a hard pencil . I noticed that the unknown person was sitting, there as if he was the witness.

I said to Diamond, ‘How wonderful is your English’! But I noticed that due to softness of the paper, the writing seemed to be hazy. Diamond began to scold me for this. So I told him, ‘It is a hard pencil, that’s why it is hazy. Wait, let me bring a pen’. But suddenly I woke up and thought, ‘Oh! This is an incomplete dream, let me sleep again to see the last. So I again slept  and said to myself in the dream that I had already completed taking the dictation with a pen .

Scene changed. I was now seeing that God-the-Preceptor and I was living together in a house and I was taking advice from him though nothing could be remembered after dream.

At the last moment in the dream I observed that he was going to take a bath. After completing the bath he wore clothes putting off his towel. I asked him, ‘Have you taken bath’? He said, ‘Yes’, I told him,’ then I am now going to take my bath. And I went to take my bath. Here the dream went off.

[The dream is very significant as this indicates that in future many realizations of Diamond will be experienced by the seer. Will is given to son by father. It means that all the wealth of father will be enjoyed by his son .Here wealth means spiritual wealth.]

539. “It is so, that a pearl oyster is in readiness for the rain coming down from the star ‘Swati’. It takes a drop of rain, dives deep in the fathomless ocean, stops there until the pearl grows”.

Pearl – is Atman.

Oyster – is the cerebrum.

 with Nirguna Brahma.

The drop of the rain in the form of God’s grace comes out in the proper time as Atman, and it is shown by God-the-Preceptor. The first and foremost thing is to obtain the grace of God and it comes spontaneously. A real aspirant sees such rainfall many a time in his life and it denotes that more and more grace is coming upon him.

Grace should be looked upon as spontaneous. It makes a man – Universalle-La’-Homme.

It becomes the true insignia of grace, as Universalism is the summum bonum.

540. “Whom God makes great, let him live in a forest but he shall be known to many”.

Yes, it is so. God is in every being and in man He manifests in a degree.

God in a man will appear in the form of the very same man whom He wants to be made known i.e. publicity. It is a wonder, in its connection, vide our ‘Preface’ and furthermore it signifies that the man has become God or attained Godhead.

541. “The flowers bloom in the dense forest and the bees search and find them out”.

The saying has got two aspects. One is ‘Individualism’ and the other is ‘Universalism’.

1) Individualism – Thakur is at Dakshineswar and the devotees flock there.

(a) Thakur is flower

(b) The devotees are bees.

2) Universalism –

(a) When a man attains Godhood, He becomes a bee.

(b) The devotees are flowers.

Flowers are seen to bloom by the aspirants in the seventh plane and in the seventh plane of the devotees this Universal Man or Paramatman or Parama Purusha or Paramahansa – in its true yogic sense, i.e. the shape of a person who will be seen within by thousands appears.

It is said in the Vedas that Brahma in order to taste His own sweetness has become many. The devotees are many and God is but One. So devotees are flowers and God is a bee.

Forest – is this human body and this simile is current from the days of yore.

INDICATION OF PUBLICITY OF MY DREAMS IN FUTURE

14)  23^rd, June, 1972,  Friday .   Early morning dream:  My friend Nisith, younger sister Prakriti and younger brother Malay and I went out for a walk. While walking, I was narrating my dreams to Nisith and here the dream went off.

[The dream was revealed to me thus : Prakriti is the symbol of Nature , Malay denotes gentle breeze and Nisith means nirguna or dark which means infinite . My dreams will remain in dark and in due course of time these will spread like a gentle breeze in nature or in the world.

After 20 years my dreams are being published in Bengali magazine and after 38years being translated is published in different websites.]

ACCOMPANY WITH GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR

          

15)   24^th  June , 1972 ,  Saturday ,  Early morning dream :  I had gone to Diamond and saw someone reading Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna . In between reading conversation was also going on. Devotees were coming and going . One known lady was also seen in the crowd. She was seated along with others on open corridor outside the room.

As soon as I saw the lady, it appeared in my mind that when woman folks began to come, Diamond might not be alive more.

However, Diamond seemed to be very bright. After a while when I bowed down to him with great devotion he patted my head and body with great affection and here the dream went off.

[In this dream the seer was being blessed by God-the- Preceptor and afterwards a great peace persisted in his mind.]

GOD-THE-PRECEPTOR PUTS HIS QUALITIES ON THE SEER

                                  

16) July 15, 1972.  One early morning when I was just waking up with half consciousness , I felt that someone was lying on my body longitudinally putting his whole body weight on me, I got a bit chilled as it was so vivid, but did not move . When ultimately I got back my full consciousness, I was surprised and thought, Ah! It was Diamond himself who was lying on me and for nothing I got nervous!

[This was a very significant dream indicating my future when many of the qualities of God-the-Preceptor will penetrate me in future.]

THE DOOR TO 7^TH PLANE IS OPENED

                           

17)   July 17, 1972.   While traveling in a bus I experienced a realization in a trance --- a one storied building with a gate on the right side for entry to the house. There I saw a woman standing at the gate with her two hands kept on the gate as if she was the keeper of the door. She had long hair, complexion not so fair with very large eyes.

I was thinking that she might be a Tantrik. Suddenly I saw with my surprise that she allowed me to enter the house. As soon as I entered into a room, I noticed, a 7—8 years girl with long heirs up to her feet was leaving that room . Then my trance went off.

[The trance signifies thus: Unless the Holy Mother or this body allows , One cannot enter the 7^th plane to see God or ‘ Atman’. There is a possibility that in future the seer may visualize ‘ Atman’ or ‘Self’ .

INDICATION OF RAJYOGA

18)  July 20,  1972.   

At noon one day I had a dream. Swami Vivekananda was seated on a cot, His head was clean shaved. I was also seated in front of him  though, without conversation. Meanwhile the dream went off.

[Here Swami  Vivekananda means Rajyoga . The dream indicates that the seer will have Rajyoga within him in future.]

(Note- It came true.)

VISUALIZATION OF ATMAN OR GREAT SOUL

19)   27^th August, 1972. Sunday.  

Early morning dream --- I was in a room seated on the floor for meditation. A wooden platform of small size was kept in front of me .I fell in meditation for a while within the dream. The meditation suddenly went off and I saw a small lump of divine light in the shape of a curved thumb gradually moving upward from the platform and fixed in air in front of my eyes. Then the scene vanished.

In the next scene I saw myself inside a room adjacent to the previous room seen in the first scene. It was packed with quite a number of people. One unknown person among them told me ‘You have seen your father’s Atman’. Here the dream went off.

[The divine light in the shape of curved thumb has been mentioned in Upanishads as Atman or Soul, which was visualized by the seer. Father’s Atman means the Atman seen by the primordial man on earth some thousands and thousands of years ago. Vedic Rishis used to visualize God in their dreams in the form of their father and so they always used the term ‘Father’. Here unknown person denotes God who is always unknown except His grace. Plat- form symbolizes the cerebrum where God is seen.

This dream is the confirmation of the previous dream seen on July-August, 1972 (dream no 17). The visualization of the Soul or Atman or God in the form of light is described in Maitri Upanishad ( 6.38) like this-

“Of size of thumb or span within the body,

A light of twofold or threefold brightness,

This Brahma who is being praised,

The Great God – He has entered in all beings”!]

537. “Why so? Can’t you sleep without the smell of the fish-basket? Once, at night, a fish-wife became a guest at the house of a gardener. She was lodged to sleep in the room where flowers were stored and she could not lull herself to sleep. She commenced fidgeting. The flower-maid marked it and asked, ‘Hello! What’s up? What keeps you awake’? The fish-wife replied, ‘Well mummy, this smell of the flowers hinders the sleep. Can’t you get me my fish-basket’? Then a little water was sprinkled on the fish-basket, it gave off smell of fish and she fell fast asleep”.

Fish-basket – The lower zone of the three planes: –

a) Organ of evacuation,

b) Organ of generation,

c) and the navel.

It is the head-quarter of Tama-Guna which denotes dullness and inertia. One of the foremost insignia of Tamas is heavy sleep.

Fish-wife – is Avidyamaya or the Maya of ignorance. In some cases she assumes form and is seen by the aspirants.

Guest – Ego or ‘I’.

House – temple or church or mosque or synagogue – the human body.

Gardener – God in the body. Sri Krishna is called the gardener of the forest, Vanamali, and Vana is forest, i.e. body. It is so compared as ‘I’ in the body has lost his way in the forest. It is only the Gardener’s grace which can set a man aright and lead one in the right path.

Room where flowers were stored – It is the seventh plane or the cerebrum and here only divinity reigns Supreme – Sattva-Guna.

Flowers – Cells in the brain – they are so seen by the aspirants. Flowers of various kinds are seen and it expresses divinity occupying the cells in place of the animality. Lotus is the best insignia and then comes rose.

Could not lull herself to sleep – When one reaches the seventh plane Sattva Guna prevails and he loses sleep.

Flower-maid – Vidyamaya – the Maya of knowledge.

Water – (here in the metaphor) indicates Pranamaya Kosha where Life Power at the outset is seen like bluish gurgling water. The test is that one comes down to the lower zone where Tama-Guna pervades and the outcome is sound sleep.

Of course there is another rough sense that runs in the under-current of the metaphor. Sri Keshab has got his wife and he will get a sleep in the company of his wife.

538. “Now you see, it is due to her undivided devotion to her man-the-preceptor she saw Narayana (God with form and with four hands – a creation of imagination) and she showed Narayana to the Guru (Preceptor)”.

It is not the seeing of God.

It is a realization of the sixth plane.

Even in the case, God took pity to her earnest yearning, gave His grace and the realization of the sixth plane came upon her and she in her turn, gave her grace to the preceptor and he also saw Narayana.

The episode of the widow with the pot of endless curd and her guru bears a different character.

Thakur’s version runs thus: it is Guru, God-the-Preceptor, who shows the disciple his (disciple’s) Ishta – or an imaginary form of God and merges into the form. No guru or man-the-preceptor can do it.

Here it reveals that of one makes a man-guru then it turns out that the disciple may see Ishta – God-with-Form (if God takes pity and gives His grace) and if he (disciple) gives his grace to the preceptor then the guru may see the Ishta. In other words, the disciple becomes guru and man-the-preceptor takes the place of the disciple. Rather, it is a warning to the ‘gurus’ that being a man if you play the role of a guru, then your fate is sealed; nay, you are doomed.

There is no man to play the role of a Guru in the Universalism as it is ‘One and Oneness’. Very simple and plain is the method. A man becomes Brahma through spontaneity; numberless people will see Him within and become ‘One’ with ‘Him’ in the Atmic (spiritual) sphere and the ‘seeing of Him’ also comes automatically. A mango tree is grown. Not only the owner enjoys the mangoes but thousand others enjoy the mangoes.

JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND THE HOLY GHOST AND MY DIARY OF DIVINE DREAMS

Chapter 5

Shower of  blessings  of  God—First  experience

on  merging  of  dream  and  reality – Realization of Vedanta 

11) May 22, 1972. 

Early morning I saw in a dream that there was a heavy shower which continued for a long time. I woke up for a moment and though that it was really raining outside and so I decided to sleep again. After a while, when I woke up again saw with surprise that there was no sign of rain outside. The dream was so vivid.

[(a) Here the shower signifies the blessings of God which was showered upon the seer .  (b) The seer experienced the merging of dream and reality. This has a reference in Upanishads that both dream and reality are identical.]     

Realization  as  per  the  book  ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti

12) 4^th June, 1972, Sunday.

What was felt during my dream was realized after I woke up. I felt that for the whole night God-the-Preceptor held my hand and both roamed here and there.

[This realization was mentioned by Sri Ramkrishna as, ‘God-the-Preceptor is as if a companion, holding the hand of the devotee and roam’. This is also mentioned in the Bengali book’ Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ written by Diamond like this—God appears to the devotee as God-the-Preceptor and roam with him holding hand (vide dream no 5) ]

Realization  as  per  the  book  ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’--

Dream  and  Reality  are  identical – Realization of Vedanta

13)   12^th  June, 1972, Monday, Early morning dream: I was dwelling on the top floor of a huge building .I was stepping down from the top floor observing innumerable number of rooms, steps and lanes inside the House which was beyond imagination. After stepping down for a while I felt that I lost my track to get up. Suddenly I noticed that an unknown person standing beside me, pointed out my way to the upstairs. I looked up and found that the steps lead to my dwelling place in the top floor. I then returned to my own room. Here the dream went off.

After a while, I again had a dream and noticed a beautiful hilly town. People were seen walking on roads. Suddenly a herd of cows was seen on the road. I stood on one side of the road and surprisingly went on thinking that I was dreaming but everything seemed so real! Then my dream went off.

[The revelation of the 1^st scene appeared thus : Large building signifies the huge capacity of the seer’s cerebrum. Rooms are the brain cells, lanes signify channels from the root of spinal chord to the cerebrum.

Loosing tracks means that during upward movement of the life force towards the 7^th plane of the cerebrum sometimes gets out of the channel being diverted from the main channel ‘Susumna’ nerve which is the main path towards Godhood within the body . At this moment God as unknown person keeps the seer in the right track which the seer experienced in this dream.

The 2^nd scene signifies that the seer had a realization of Vedanta where dream and reality are described as identical. At the same time the seer experienced the same realization as mentioned in the book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ No 881 : “ There is no difference between dream and reality. The devotee who has got pure consciousness realizes this”. (vide dream no 5 ]
