Lion in the shade may mean the Guru resting in Brahman casting a benevolent glance at the disciple

Much more wonderful that you saw the live image during meditation.

 

The tree stands for the immutable Self granting the shade of bliss

The Lion represents the Spiritual Guru resting in the shade of the bliss of

the Self

 

Shrubs and bushes represent nature manifested

And, you represent the individual soul manifested

 

It also means that one must not consume the grass of sense-objects

And, approach the Guru, by taking an 180 degree inward turn towards the Self

 

Since the Lion was barely looking at you, you must allow the glance to

penetrate and possess your being.

If this happens a few more time, the encounter with the Guru may happen in

the physical circumstances.

Keep up the longing and aspiration to meet the Spiritual Guru

Actually, Hety! You are like the tree in Christa's dream

And, I am like the lion resting in your shade.

Although, I am not a spiritual master!

 

Thanks and kind regards
