Mother Saci’s Dream - very interesting!

Posted by dinesh

Mother Saci's Dream

Last night during in my dream I saw You and Nityananda. Both of You were five year old boys, fighting and running around the house. Then I saw both of You enter the Deity room and come out with the Deities of Krsna and Balarama in Your hands. Nitayananda held Krsna in His hands, and You had Balarama. I clearly saw all four of You fighting. I heard You saying, 'who are You two Pretenders? Get out of here. This house, these rooms, this milk, sandesa, yogurt, and everything else in this house belong to Us.' Then Nityananda said, 'those days are gone when You used to steal the butter and yogurt. The power of the cowherd boys is finished. Now the rule of the brahmanas is in force. Now You must recognize Us and give up accepting the offerings. If You don't give up, then we will beat You up!' Then both Krsna and Balarama replied, 'Don't blame Us. We're going to bind up both of You pretenders right now.'Then Balarama challenged Nityananda in an angry mood, 'If You play mischief with Us then I swear You will have to answer to Me.' Nityananda then replied 'I'm not afraid of You or Your Krsna. My Lord is Gaurachandra Visvambhara.' Then all four of You began quarrelling amongst Yourselves and stealing food from each other. I saw each of You snaching food right from the others' hand, and eat it. Then I saw how You all began taking the food right from each others' mouths and put it in Your own mouth. Then Nityananda called out to me, 'Mother, please give Me some rice to eat. I'm feeling hungry.' Then, at that moment I awoke from my dream and could understand nothing of the meaning.

Exponential Suffering

Posted by dinesh

We are burdened by the sufferings caused by our own material desires that cause so much turbulence or agitation in our minds. And to execute the plan to fulfill the desire of one single person, one has to undergo so much of hardships. When we expand ourselves with family members, the resulting desires are not just multiplied by the number of our family but increased exponentially and so does the suffering or the hardships one has to undergo in the process of fulfilling the desires.

Those who have entered into the forest of family life already know the dangers of the family life and the manifold sufferings that are imposed for the struggle for existence. Jada Bharata instructs King Rahugana in Srimad Bhagavatam that,

"In this forest there are plunderers (the six senses) as well as carnivorous animals like jackals, wolves and lions (wife, children and other relatives) who are always anxious to suck the blood from the head of the family. The forest plunderers and the carnivorous blood-sucking animals combine to exploit the energy of a man within this material world. In this forest there is also a black hole, covered by grass, into which one may fall. Coming into the forest and being captivated by so many material attractions, one identifies himself with this material world, society, friendship, love and family.

Having lost the path and not knowing where to go, being harassed by animals and birds, one is also victimized by many desires. Thus one works very hard within the forest and wanders here and there. He becomes captivated by temporary happiness and becomes aggrieved by so-called distress. Actually one simply suffers in the forest from so-called happiness and distress. Sometimes he is attacked by a snake (deep sleep), and due to the snakebite he loses consciousness and becomes puzzled and bewildered about discharging his duties. Sometimes he is attracted by women other than his wife, and thus be thinks he enjoys extramarital love with another woman. He is attacked by various diseases, by lamentation and by summer and winter. Thus one within the forest of the material world suffers the pains of material existence.

Expecting to become happy, the living entity changes his position from one place to another, but actually a materialistic person within the material world is never happy. Being constantly engaged in materialistic activities, he is always disturbed. He forgets that one day he has to die. Although he suffers severely, being illusioned by the material energy, he still hankers after material happiness. In this way he completely forgets his relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
