Dadashri : Dreams are all tubers (complexes). Dream is
karma bound by two types of bodies. It is not karma bound by
three types of bodies. Therefore only two bodies experience it.
Questioner : Can one bind karmas while dreaming?
Dadashri : No, dreams are an effect only. Karmas cannot

In a dream, the causal body and subtle body are at work.
The relative self (pratishthit atma) is the seer of the dream and
the pure Self (shuddhatma) is the Knower and Seer of the
relative self. The higher the number of obscuring veils of karma

dream is seen with more clarity. Some people claim they never

them because of their dense karmic veils.

capable of doing everything even in a dream, but you should
know how to ask. Many of my mahatmas see Dada every day
in their dreams. The scriptures say :
“The One (Gnani) who is seen even once in a dream
Will shatter all illusions of the mind”

an end to all illusions of the mind.
The dreams you see during sleep involve two bodies. The
Gnani asks if you believe the dream of the two bodies to be
real? No. Similarly, for the Gnani even the dream of three bodies
is not real. For the Gnani even the wakeful state of the three
