The things we experience in dreams disappear when we wake up. During sleep, we are not aware of the world at all. Though the body is in the bedroom, you dream that you are busy shopping on Mount Road, Madras! At that time, you completely forget your room. So what is in the waking state is absent in the dream. Therefore, when you look at all this from the divine state, everything is ephemeral in nature. When you come towards the hostel at dusk after the Bhajans, say the boy in the front row sees a rope and shouts, “Snake! Snake!”, fear overtakes all. Fear makes everyone step back. But was it a snake? No. The thought that it was a snake caused the fear. A boy looked at it with a lit torch and found that it was only a rope! Where did the fear come from, where did it go? It came from the illusion of the snake, and the knowledge that it is not a snake removed it. In the same way, all that is here before you is Brahman (Divinity), out of your ignorance, you have the illusion that it is jagat (world). And out of that illusion, difficulties, worries and such emotions enter you. When the torch of jnana (knowledge) lights up the world, you realise it is not jagat, but Sarvam Vishnu Mayam (it is permeated by Lord Vishnu). And once you recognise this truth, the illusion, fear and sorrow vanish.
