' A dream within a dream '...


This life is all a dream,
a dream within a dream.
We dream this world,
we dream that we die
and take birth in another body.

And in this birth we dream
that we have dreams.
All kinds of pleasures and suffering
alternate in these dreams,
but a moment comes when waking up happens.

In this moment,
which we call realizing the Self,
there is the understanding that
all the births, all the deaths,
all the sufferings and all the pleasures
were unreal dreams
that have finally come to an end.
