Anita R, Ms. Bhanu Samykya, Mr. Abhiram, Mr. Hrushikesh and Prof. Annapurna attended this Satsanga and the flashes of spiritual knowledge radiated from Shri Datta Swami are given below in a condensed way.)
[Ms. Noishadha asked:- What about the significance of dreams? I got a dream in which a big serpent on whom God Vishnu was lying was seen by me. I was playing with God Vishnu like a friend. He gave me a big fruit of black berry. What is the significance of this dream?]
Swami Replied:- Dreams are of two types:- i) The worldly thoughts enter the mind and get reflected as some materialized dreams. ii) God enters the dream and gives a message to you and uses the dream as His medium to give His message to you. In the previous birth, you were a devotee of God Krishna. Your devotion with Him was in the form of friendship. Friendship is considered to be the last but one step as said ‘sakhyamātmanivedanam’. After friendship, the next step is total surrender to God. God is reminding you about these two advanced steps since they have continuity with your devotion in your previous birth. Arjuna is said to be the best example for friendship. In friendship, you have a very highly advanced stage of devotion. In friendship, you don’t have any fear for God. You can talk freely with God. God is mentioning about the stage which you have reached in the previous birth and is indicating the next step which is complete surrender to God. You do your life activities based on your total surrender to God. Then, all your efforts are done by God and you need not have any strain for success of any effort.
