Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look at the world straight in the eye.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

Self in dream less sleep
Self in Dreamless Sleep
When a man is asleep, with senses withdrawn and serene and sees no dream-that is the Self. This is immortal, fearless. This is Brahman. Then Indra went away satisfied in heart. But even before he had reached the gods, he saw this difficulty: In truth it (i.e. the self in dreamless sleep) does not know itself as 'I am it,' nor these other creatures. It has therefore reached in dreamless sleep utter annihilation, as it were. I do not see any good in this. He returned with fuel in hand. To him Prajapati said: Well, Indra, you went away satisfied in heart; now for what purpose have you come back? He (Indra) said: Venerable Sir, in truth it (i.e. the self in dreamless sleep) does not know itself as 'I am it,' nor these other creatures. It has therefore reached utter annihilation, as it were. I do not see any good in this. So it is, Indra, replied Prajapati. I shall explain the Self further to you and nothing else. Live with me another five years. Indra lived with Prajapati another five years. This made in all one hundred and one years. Therefore people say that Indra lived with Prajapati as a brahmacharin one hundred and one years. - Chandogya Upanishad VIII, XI,1 - 3

dream in the sense
We dream with our eyes open. It is why our ancestors said life is like that of a dream . Notice every thing comes and goes like dreams : our posessions, and whatever we do is being done unconsciously out of habit. We are being unaware of our every moment and our breath.

dreams you nt to realize
The power of the word is real whether or not you are conscious of it. Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Behind every word flows energy.-Sonia Choquette
