Dream in mdh - Nov-2015
is detachment correct, people are affected and impacted unless I am attached I wont feel like praying
Swami answered in his own unique style

1. What is Detachment ? Detachment is from me and mine, ahamkaram and mamakaram. This is the basis for spirituality. If there is no peace within you, how can you spread love. U have to be detached from you and yours. You should be filled with love and peace.

2. Now that you have become detached and are in equipoise, second step is to get attached to the whole world and make it personal. Because you see yourself in everyone you treat their pain as yours. All worlds issue is yours. U have to feel it, feel the love and take it up. This type of attachment is devoid of Me and Mine hence its for the benefit of the whole world.

3. Swami kissed me on the cheeks repeatedly and I got extremely happy and shivering with excitement that the lord of the universe is kissing me. I am emotionally elevated high. Now to reach the divine you must be brimming with that much love and feeling and emotion and make it personal. Now with that  love, you ask Swami for help. Swami will now intervene and help.

After teaching the lesson I was waiting to talk but there was nothing left to talk to swami. I am going to be kicked out of the room cause lesson is over, so swami was saying If you are not doing my work, why are you still here. do you have any questions ? dream over.
If i did not have anything to do for him then I dont need to interact with him or waste spending time with him, his time is precious.

I didn't realize at the time that I was being given this heavy workload for my own good, to keep me near Bhagavan. After living like this for some time, I began to feel that I had too much to do and that my life was being wasted.

One day Bhagavan Ramanar looked at me intently and said, 'It looks as if you are still hankering after meditation'. I replied, 'I have no time. All I have is endless work in the kitchen.'

Bhagavan responded, with deep feeling, 'Your hands may do the work but your mind can remain still. You are that which never moves. Realize that and you will find work is not a strain.

But as long as you think that you are the body and that the work is done by you, you will feel your life to be an endless toil. In fact, it is the mind that toils, not the body. Even if your body
keeps quiet, will your mind keep quiet too? Even in sleep the mind is busy with its dreams.'

'Yes, Swami,' I replied, 'It is as natural for you to know that you are not your body as it is for us to think that we are the body. I had a dream recently in which you were explaining this very point. I was dreaming that I was working in the kitchen and that you were having your bath in your usual place behind the bamboo-mat partition. ‘You asked, "Who is it?" and I replied, "Who shall I say I am?"

Then you answered, "Exactly so. You are nothing of which something can be said."

That was my dream, and it was all quite clear. Why can't I continuously remember while I am awake that I am not the body?'

'Because you haven't yet had enough of it,' he replied with a smile.

Nov-2015. I wake up in the astral plane. I see my brother falling down the mountain i catch him and teach him how not to fall. I fly around but then I realize its boring to fly, every place is the same , its all created by the mind. I sit there and call upon higher beings to catch my consciousness and to connect. I get a warm fuzzy feeling in my anahata (heart) chakra. I let the warm feeling develop i focus on that and i am connected to a divine being. I dont understand the instructions cause its not words but we stay connected for sometime. I am not able to focus as usual am distracted but this time out of fear, as i have been warned a few times by Bobby i try not to invoke evil spirits so I just lay there , break the connection with the higher being and wake up into the physical world.

Later on that day I call Kiran uncle and he explains to me that the divine being trying to communicate always happens through heart chakra and not to be afraid. So am waiting for the next time i come in contact like this.

It does happen another time in Dec-2015 when i wake up in the astral body and connect to a divine being by opening my heart chakra. But nothing really seems to happen. I wake up in the physical world again.

Jan-9th morning could be around 5AM dream.
I was in standing outside my office, i saw swami there walking. I was like why is he here suddenly i am thrilled but not devotional but more like excited, i see lot of people lined up and crowded. swami is walking between like darshan times and i am crowd controlling. swami is standing and talking to some devotee addresses them and moves forward, several devotees talk to swami. Since this is in the 4th dimension I can feel swami talking to them with full faith i know it but at the sametime hes least attached to the person when he moves away. when he was near and trying to sovle the problem he is emotional, applying, completely involved in answering questions and guiding but the moment he steps away to walk he has forgotten that problem and that person. That is detachment. since whoever stops swami and asks questions i thought i wil also stop him, from behind i am folowing and crowd controlling so i call out to swami, swami first ignores me and then finally looks sternly at me, as if telling me this is not the place or time to ask questions. I get the hint i dont trouble him anymore. Now i dont have any questions to ask cause i know swami is only answering other poeple. My mind is more silent now, i start watching swami more closely , apart from the detachment lesson there was something else that was happening. Whatever swami was trying to say people are not ready to listen. they have their own agenda, their own lessons, their own issues, some are crying some are craving, they are not in a state to understand what swami has come to say or what swami had to come to give. because of them putting a limit on this swami is not able to show his glory so they are missing out on this. after walking sometime swami is tired so he goes into a room i follow him and he lies down to sleep and immdtly starts snoring. I am thinking swami is a "cheater" "thief" how sulkily hes pretending to sleep, cause otherwise people wont go. so i lock the door and tell people inside the room to just leave immdtly so swami can take rest. eveyrone is gone its only me and swami in the room as i lock i look outside the room i realize there is absolutely no difference between me and others standing outside but the only reason am inside is because am not bothering him with "my"problems. The more problems I share the less he listens to me because i am putting a limit on what he has come to give. Now that i dont bug him hes keeping me with him in his infinite grace i am even sharing the room with him. When i say "i dont bug him" what i mean is i dont have external worldly desires (at that moment) or issues of the mind. Atleast at that moment he made me like tht to teach me a lesson. I am stil thinking swami is such a cheat but how beautifuly he cheats people so he brings them peace and joy , hes not least bit angry that they are not listening to his atma vichara discussions but at the same time he patiently waits for them to forget their worldy confusions and surrender. Yet, hes teaching them in a fashion that is suited only for them. Then while snoring his hand comes out and signals me to lie down and sleep. I realize i am tired even thogh this is one moment of my life where i am alone with swami i cannot ask anthing cause if i ask then i wil be thrown out of the room too cause the reason am here is becauyse of the silencing of the mind. If i ask him anything what does it mean, i let the mind ask, i bring focus to the mind so i decide to lie down and sleep. Suddenly after soooo much i become deeply emoitnal and devotional that i am alone with the lord of the universe sleeping, i finally pray to him cupping my 2 hands i realize this is surreal this cannot happen i am in the 4th dimension i knew it this is all his play. so i wake up in 4th dimension and i start travelling. Then i tell myself what is the need to travel when the lord is right here wtih me so i stop flying out of the body and stay with him. i do have all the signals telling me i am awake, my body undergoes an earthquake experience every cell is vibrating i have woken up in the next plane but i am not doing anything to take advantage of it cause i just want to be with swami. i wake up into the physical world and open my eyes and dreams over, the 4th plane is over too.
