Dream #10

I can’t keep track of the dream #, so I’m starting with 10 and hopefully will remember the #s henceforth.  So this was my dream a few days ago.  I’m in an older person’s house, like Ranjini or it could also be Padma and we are doing a Puja with the Varalakshmi vratam Mukam.  I’m sitting in front of kumbam and I realize I don’t have my mukam with me.  I’m thinking “Shit, I forgot.  I hope Vittal remembers to get the Mukam”.  Vittal walks in a few minutes later and says he had no idea he was supposed to get it.  Then it seems like it is another poojai with Ambal and this time, the poojai is over and I look at the small altar.  There’s kumkumam all over it, but no vigraham.  I was so puzzled – where did Ambal go?

40 – Dazed and confused

Making bad choices and then beating myself up with the guilt.  If you have to depend on lack of choices to keep you from making the wrong choice, then you actually haven’t grown much, have you?

There are days when I feel I’m far away from the divine.  I’m surprised today’s one such.  The beautiful upanishad, Bhagavan’s talk, temple etc., and all swallowed by one bad choice.  The mouth is desperate for a truffle.  I’ll need to quell it too. 

Watching a lousy movie, Derailed.  Why am I watching it?  I’m sick of enquiring into myself.
