A DREAM

Written by: Prof. Dr. U. Durrani

I had a dream. It is a dream yet more real than this

seeming reality of time boundedness. Maybe, I had a
similar experience when I was 13 or 14: when
childhood is flowering out into the beauty of youth.
Where all is purity and innocence – when love, for the
first time flutters its gentle wings – where love is all
idealism and Platonism.

YES IT IS STRANGE – yet not so strange – that early

after half a century the experience would be repeated –
repeated yes, but with a big difference. In the first
instance, it was the purity and innocence of a solitary
soul –surging like the waves of a great ocean, in search
of a coastline, when it could bow down and pay
homage. In the second instance – the present one, in all
purity and innocence as before, but like a depth which
is beyond the subtlest of emotions.

Now the dream. I was you. Believe me, in body in soul

I was you. And that I will relate in my experience
through your being. Body and soul. I i.e. you are being
married to your spouse. A marriage without any
trappings or ceremonials. Call it a spiritual marriage of
catholic virgins married to Christ. And yet it had all the
realities if the whole being – physical, emotional and
spiritual. Like two forms of light, fusing into one
another. No words no music, can convey the glory and
the ecstasy of this fusion; and this heavenly bliss is
surging even now.
Yes, it seldom happens that a perfect complement in
any ----- destiny – that the earth part in ----is the
complement of the sky part in the other, and the sky
part of the other is the complement of the earth part in
the one.

God bless this Oneness.
