Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I wanted to share this in addition to story of Narada which has posted on this subject: A few months back I happened to turn on TV and watched a movie called " The Truman Show " starring Jim Carrey. In this movie Truman (Jim Carrey) lives in a place with his wife and mother and friends. He has lived in the same place from his birth for 30 years. He gets a desire to cross the sea and explore other countries. He plans to leave the city and go to Fiji islands. When he tries to leave the place he gradually encounters strange circumstances which prevent him from going out of his city. Finally he realizes that he has been an actor of the show " The Truman Show " . From his birth, he has been living in life size studio including the city and sea. Everyone in the city he is living is an actor and they are not real. He is the only person who is person living naturally without realizing that he is the main character in this show. All the cameras are hidden from him and his life is being telecast live on TV 24 hours a day. The director who had designed the show receives lot of appreciation for such a brilliant show. Everyone of his city has been actors: his neighbors, his friends, his office and even his mother and wife are actors. He also realizes that one time when he wanted to cross the seas, they created a storm to create a fear in him about seas and his father is " killed " , which was all dramatized. At the end of movie, he comes to know of the truth and manages to escape the camera. End of movie he comes out of the studio to live his real life. Though the movie looks a little ridiculous, this movie made me think. We are all actors in this world which is being directed by God. If we think in this manner, we will realize the necessity to play our role in a detached manner. If we start taking things little less seriously, we will be able to play our role in this great drama of life. When I get too emotional or too upset, I recollect this simple idea and I can regain control on my emotions. - Kishore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 I had a Maya dream the other night. It was an epic dream in which first I seemed to be living an entire life, from school days to old age; then I realized it was actually a movie in which I was playing both the male and female parts; then I sat down to watch the movie and realized it was my Guru who was playing all the parts, both the good and the bad. _______ Get your free @ address at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Dear Kendra You have the most weirdest dreams : ) Swami Vivekananda has said that it is quite possible that the earliest spiritual awakening may have come via dreams! You may be on the right track. jay - " Kendra Crossen Burroughs " <kcburroughs <Ramakrishna > Thursday, March 07, 2002 01:15 Re: [sri Ramakrishna] Re: Maya.... > I had a Maya dream the other night. > It was an epic dream in which first I seemed to be living an entire life, from > school days to old age; then I realized it was actually a movie in which I was > playing both the male and female parts; then I sat down to watch the movie and > realized it was my Guru who was playing all the parts, both the good and the > bad. > > > > _______ > > Get your free @ address at > > > > > Sri Ramakrishnaye Namah > Vivekananda Centre London > http://www.vivekananda.co.uk > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
