THERE was a wood-cutler who was highly spiritual. One day he was dreaming a

happy dream;but being suddenly awakened by someone, he exclaimed with

annoyance: " Why did you awaken me? I was a king and the father of seven

children.My children were all receiving education in various sciences. I was

seated on the throne and ruling

over my country. Why did you destroy so happy and delightful a state? " The

man replied: " Oh! It was only a dream. What does it matter? "

 

The wood-cutter said: " Get away, you fool! You do not understand that my

being a king was, as real as my wood-cutting. If it be true that I am a

wood-cutter,then it is equally true that I was a king. "

 

According to Vedanta the waking state is no more real than the dream state.
