47. The brain is unable to distinguish. But you are able to distinguish.

How is it that you are able to distinguish as to which is real and which one is dream?

That is due to your awareness. Compared to the dream of the night the imagination during the day has more awareness. Compared to day time imagination, real life has still more awareness.

Having come up to real life, you are able to distinguish that the first two are maya or illusions.

If the awareness increases still further, it will be understood by you that your present living life itself is maya. Even this is a dream only.

What you believe as real life and real world are only not-yet-disturbed dreams. Even this is maya only. This is only a long dream yet to be passed over.

What is the use if the dream at night is beautiful? After you wake up, it will disappear.

In the same way is the maya of real life too. Surpassing even this, there is a heavenly world, which is more illustrative. That is real. That is real as told by great Masters.

Supposing a person begins to cry loudly, being beaten in a dream by a wicked man, if you are near him what will you do?

Will you not wake him up, thinking, 'Poor man, he has become frightened in the dream. If the dream continues, he will suffer....'

The reason: Compared to the sleeping person, your awareness is more. That is why you wake him up.

The enlightened Masters have got thousand times more awareness than an ordinary man.

If they see the struggles and sufferings you undergo by believing this illusory life to be real, the Master's grace will simply overflow. They understand the pitiable state of man.

It is only because the enlightened Masters have understood the 'Falsehood of the reality'; they come for the service of humanity. They awaken the sleeping person.

The dream of real life is still deeper. Even though the Masters wake you up, should you not have the desire to wake up?

Meditate upon these wisdom truths.

You will wake up!
