Bhagavad Gita

A very simple but profound statement, nay, a revelation! Krishna is speaking not only about himself, but about all, as the same Soul is present in all. If the senses have the power to reveal the infinite world, what should be the inherent power of the Soul, which has gifted the senses their power?

In wakefulness, the perceiving senses and the perceived world seem different. But in dream, which occurs in sleep after obliterating the body, senses and the objects the whole inner creation is of Consciousness alone. A new body, a new world with its infinite variety of objects and distances – all are but inner creations, revealing clearly the creative potential of the mind, Consciousness. Krishna is referring to this power and splendour of the Soul.

Often dream displays past, present and future events. The same Consciousness can equally project the wakeful present, past and future as well.
