A Lesson From The Stone..

Here goes the dream description.. Please go through to see what insight it had in store for me  :)

     I spot a cluster of  big rocks situated on a hilly area. The place looks arid. Meanwhile,  a man appearing serene and sagacious walks towards the rocks. He ponders something to himself and after laborious, careful calculation picks up one of the rocks situated a little farther from the bunch of them and sits, assuming meditative posture.

    Once he closes his eyes, the scene changes and I realize that I am seeing the image witnessed by his meditating mind-  The same rock  excluded from the group shows up  with that man standing infront. His eyes are open and the rock blocks the entire view. Serenity vanishes.  Exhibiting frustration on face and voice with louder annoyed pitch, he states , “Oh Rock! Just leave me my way. You are just an instrument, a medium not the goal. A mean not an end or destination. I want to see the light, path to the pinnacle of the state I am intending to reach. Please don’t stand in my way."

A mild tranquil voice emerges out of rock and it responds, “Dear Man, you picked me out of careful examination. Out of my knowledge I have come to know, whenever a person invests his time and attention on something. It means he is interested in that! Anything wrong in that?”

    He suddenly shots his eyes wide open and starts walking away from the rock cursing in an insignificant tone- “What, what should I explain to a stone hard from inside and outside. What it expects?”

     Rock addressing the man in a voice audible to him replies, “Dear Man, I never had any intentions. It is you who came out of intention to meditate. You are right I am just a medium, but remember one who can’t make proper utilization of the mean, instrument reaches nowhere! One who makes out just  stone in the stone is not the man for meditation! He needs real education that can enlighten him to see ‘life’ in every living and non- living “

     Voice becomes feeble and man disappears
