THE DREAM

Once a man saw in his dream,
that a lion was
chasing him. The man ran to a
tree, climbed
on
to it and sat on a branch. He
looked down
and
saw that the lion was still there
waiting for
him.
The man then looked to his side
where the
branch he was sitting on was
attached to the
tree
and saw that two rats were
circling around
and
eating the branch. One rat was
black and the
other one was white. The branch
will fall on
the
ground very soon.
The man then looked below
again with fear
and
discovered that a big black snake
had come
and
settled directly under him. The
snake opened
its
mouth right under the man so
that he will fall
into
it. The man then looked up to see
if there was
anything that he could hold on
to.
He saw another branch with a
honeycomb.
Drops
of honey were falling from it.
The man
wanted to
taste one of the drops. So, he put
his tongue
out
and tasted one of the falling
drops of honey.
The
honey was amazing in taste. So,
he wanted to
taste another drop and then
another and as a
result, he got lost into the
sweetness of the
honey. He forgot about the two
rats eating
his
branch away, the lion on the
ground and the
snake that is sitting right under
him. Suddenly
when the branch broke he
remembered all
the
dangers woke up from his sleep.
The man couldn’t understand
the dream,so he
went to a scholar to know its
meaning.
The scholar said ” The lion you
saw is your
death.
It always chases you and goes
where ever
you go.
The two rats,one black and one
white, are the
night and the day. Black one is
the night and
the
white one is the day. They circle
around,
coming
one after another, to eat your
time as they
take
you closer to death. The big black
snake with
a
dark mouth is your grave. It’s
there, just
waiting
for you to fall into it.
The honeycomb is this world and
the sweet
drops
of honey are the luxuries of this
world. We
like to
taste a little of the luxuries of
this world and
it’s
very sweet. Then we want to
taste little more
and
then more. Meanwhile, we get
lost into it and
we
forget about our time, we forget
about our
death
and we forget about our
grave.”
Moral: Life is full of attractions
and
distractions.
And death will come to us
without any notice.
So
prepare for it well in advance so
that you
won’t
have to regret later.
Have a blessed day...
