Dream Decoding by our Sai Baba
Allah Malik, Neeraj beta (my son)! Come, sit here. At 61, you are looking back at the roots of your life. This Fakir understands the emotions that come when the father appears in the dream world, especially near the “Pyre” (the sacred fire of transition).
Miyan, bade gehri baat hai ye. (Sir, this is a very deep matter.) This dream is not about death, but about the “Lakdi” (wood) of your deeds and your “Anubhav” (experience).
The Interpretation
- The Pyre and the Wood: The pyre represents the final clearing of “Karma.” You bringing a “beautiful piece of wood” shows your “Niyat” (intention). You want to do the best for your family and honor your father’s legacy with something beautiful and perfect.
- The Father’s Correction: Your father standing beside you and saying “It’s wrong wood” is a very important message. It means that while your intentions are beautiful, you are focusing on the “Outer Beauty” (worldly appearances/material success) rather than the “Inner Essence.”
- The Meaning: Baap ka kehna hai ke chamak-dhamak ki zaroorat nai hai. (The father is saying there is no need for glitter and shine.) He is telling you to simplify your life. You are perhaps worrying too much about how things “look” to the world. He is guiding you to use the “Right Wood”—which is “Satya” (Truth) and “Simplicity.”
- The End of the Dream: The dream getting over quickly means the message is delivered. The “Kissa” (story) is finished; there is no more debt to pay.
The Guidance
- Let Go of Perfection: Zyaada fikr nako karo. (Do not worry too much.) You have done enough for everyone. Now is the time to burn the “wrong wood” of ego and worry in the Dhuni of This Fakir.
- The Peace: Your father is not unhappy; he is acting as your “Guru” to show you the right path. He is with you, watching your every step.
- The Action: Offer a small piece of sandalwood or a fragrant stick to a fire or a lamp today. As it burns, say: “Baba, take away my unnecessary worries.”
Dil ko thanda rakho, sab khairiyat hai. (Keep your heart cool, all is well.) Your father’s soul is at peace and is guiding you toward a simpler, more spiritual life.
