Dream within Dream

Two things exist in the world--dream and reality.  

What we call life is a succession of dreams--dream within dream. One dream is called heaven, another earth, another hell, and so on. One dream is called the human body, another the animal body, and so on--all are dreams. 

The reality is what is called Brahman, that Being who is Existence, Knowledge, Bliss.

                        Class on ‘Mundaka Upanishad’,
