     Dream …this word has multiple meanings/ and so has multiple implications

1 dream is one of the 4 states of consciousness. wake, dream, sleep, turia

2 dream also means to imagine / formulate a target, a plan a course of action, to actualize, some times unrealistic or impossible , a futuristic extrapolation, overcoming the limitations of the waking state

3 day dream is semi conscious, mind trying to relax while still active on a task, a part of attention getting passive, a person driving a vehicle, may cause accident in while in day dreaming

4 dream also a synonym for unreal, mithya ,

5 dream can be a creative design exercise for a engg solution, designers see a problem and perceive different solutions , brain storm, without limitations, and select a possible earthly solution, thus invent some zig fixture tool

6 dream is a canvas for the artist to create the best of beauty / patterns / colours without really using the paper and pencils brushes, prior to actual creation

7 dream is a process to create shapes out of the mind, that serving as a universal molding material,

8 dream's closest meaning is that happens when we sleep , itis essentially a biological purification process that clears the debris in the mind, while that sweeping is taking place, all the components of the dirt assume different patterns/shape/ get connected as a sequence of events linking them to gether at random, with meaning/ without meaning , even absurd/ foolish/ holy/unholy, not having a time frame nor a fixed geo identity ,

9 dream is a reality at its own level, abstract , unclear, changing, melting, vanishing, all ripples of mind in the ocean of consciousness, it is a changing feeble unstable reality , now existing now disappearing

10 dream is like, factory owner , arranging for a cleaning. clearing/ scrapping task, on a holiday when staff is not there,

11 sleep is like , the closing down the factory on holiday , only watch man being there

12  waking is like the factory is full of activity , staff busy in their duty

13  death is like the factory is closed for ever, the owner absconding

14 turia is like the factory totally non existing for a few minutes, only the owner standing alone

15 uses and applications of dream in its multiple meanings, multiple roles are countless, most useful to most useless

16 realized man dreams?sleeps?

yes, but he witnesses the dream and sleep , and can at will continue / stop that process, and wake up if wants

17 dream is a natures gift , so all is welcome what ever happens in the dream, , since it is essentially a cleaning process we need not bother on pure /impure dreams , we do not care to see each particle/ of dust while cleaning , one gets up refreshed after dream

18, sleep is darkness, nothing exists, not even the sense of darkness, it's just not perceivable as long as one is asleep ..however it is a reality of it's own ,it is also a nature's gift , and body requires it as much as the hunger is felt for food, food is nourishing, sleep too is nourishing, one gets recharged. but sleep is known as sleep only when one comes out of it,

19 dream also a is a reality ,it is a loka, swapna loka, with all its inhabitants, man moving conversing interacting , reacting with them, involved in the processes that are happening in that loka, never he feels it is a dream , dream is known as dream only when one comes out of it

20, wake is a reality , it is a loka, bhooloka, all life processes done in wake, but dream and sleep supplementing it , man is 100 percent in trust in its existence, strives hard every moment to earn money, name fame, wants to win, wants to do a lot , never he doubts its existence , wake is known as wake only when one comes out of it

21 turia is a reality, it's the other world, paramdham, unmanifest , one exists as no body , but as pure awareness, nothing other than himself , fully alert , much more alert than the wake, he comes to know that this is the truth of existence , his existence in reality is just awareness nothing less nothing more.

after this experience is gained, his three states gain the needed refinement , he knowing that he is only an actor in the drama of the universe, and he does his role all the more perfectly , though knowing it a mithya, he is untouched unmoved by the success failure , joy sorrow, yet doing his best, he is now established in the reality firmly , and makes his journey masterfully , knowledgeably , every step guided by the light of the turia , here his wake dream sleep all will be rewarding , blissful, a rich life free from any lacks

22 it may be noted that whether sleep dream wake, nothing can be discounted nor discarded as mithya or useless, each has its role , but fullest significance of every moment can be known only with the experience of turia , hence all wise teachers have emphasized the utter need of turia experience, turia being the unmanifest basis for all the manifest universe, once this is mastered one rises to be the master of the universe, and its all lokas

23 for some few dream is a divinity. it's an ideal, probably unreachable, such a dream may take the shape of one's ista, may even come alive , either in dream while sleeping, or actually on earth plane, like vittal standing at the door of the devotee

24, for some few dream is love affair, with one glimpse of the beloved , with just a casual encounter, one's beloved having entered the heart of the lover, yet playing hide and seek, , while on earth plane both remaining away at far distant places,

it's a way of conquering time and space, and seeking the union rather attaining the ''virtual'' union with the ''dream girl '' [or ''dream boy '',]] all filled with sweetness and joy

25 dream is one's privilege, it is one's own '' reality '', beyond the belief / unbelief of others, some discarding as an absurd, since not all can comprehend. the life it self is a surd ,which can not be deciphered by the best brains .

for saints it's a wall- less existence , they reach the right souls in so many ways, dream is one way

26 saint poet potana .. ala vaikunta purambulo---and he could not write further , left ....

and god came probably in dream or in real plane, when he came back, he found the poem completed with precision and beauty ...in dream mind is able to further explore the creativity, and can write what could not be written in the wake

27, tightness/ compactly mind of the waking state gets loosened and space is created, new discoveries will be possible, those discoveries may/ may not be valid in the wake , like suddenly one gets a dream that says at one location gold deposits exists, and the whole govt machinery starts digging and finds no gold but public criticism

28 but the adventure of '' the alchemist '' dreaming for gold leads him in to the inner world, where he becomes the richest alchemist , seeing richness every where . he did pursue a dream / a desire and reached an entirely different world

29 dream can be a vision, for future , company ceo s, they create a vision document , and it becomes the mission for the whole unit , and drives the aspirations and ambitions of every employee from top to bottom , they meticulously plan the detail strategy and implement all the practical steps needed , on the earth plane and achieve unimaginable heights

30 pioneers are dreamers, they are visionaries, they go to any extent risking/ sacrificing their life , till they reach the success , their efforts benefit man kind immensely

31 Lyrical ballads were written by coloridge in dream it seems...........while one is immersed in a theme, in a task, in a trade, in a profession, unknowingly one slips into a reverie

32  reverie is  a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream... this happens since the task is now becoming automatic, as if done by the subconscious, requiring not much attention or care , and one enjoys the luxury of unspent/reserve attention to do its own chosen spinning, that is how the folk songs originate, even some times the construction labour start sing- song talks, flirting with each other, ......result is just increased joy

and language loses its rigidity of grammar / syntax, becomes colloquial, vernacular, with local idioms and slang and musical tones set in

33  it is worth noting that Coleridge and words worth valued more their natural flow than the conventional rigidity of poetry rules , and their works stood the test of times , it all proves the mind going into a dream state, has its peculiarity and associated benefit of a sort of ‘’release’’

34 ''Wordsworth and Coleridge set out to overturn what they considered the priggish, learned and highly sculpted forms of 18th century English poetry and bring poetry within the reach of the average person by writing the verses using normal, everyday language. They place an emphasis on the vitality of the living voice that the poor use to express their reality. Using this language also helps assert the universality of human emotions. Even the title of the collection recalls rustic forms of art – the word "lyrical" links the poems with the ancient rustic bards and lends an air of spontaneity, while "ballads" are an oral mode of storytelling used by the common people.''...wikipedia

35 dream experiences range from earthly to heavenly, encountering higher beings , visions seen, voices heard, presence felt....all are one's personal, nothing to do with others approval , these are true to oneself , and oneself interpretes understands by his own ability/ limitations rightly / wrongly .only thing is that such things happen , atheist theist agnostic sees it differently , scientist sees it with logic ,

 36 one's ''self referral'' existence is unconditional, undependent on any object or person, it's most valuable unmatha state , ''that limitless state'' 
love marriages some times fail, since the lover does not find ''the beloved'' in the spouse, one sees the earthly and become disappointed / disgusted 
dream is a dream , and ground reality is different

37 good movies takes one into a dream , the viewer identifying himself with the hero/heroine and living the theme of the movie , forgetting his presence in the theater in that 3 hours, comes out exhilarated, .. so are good novels ,/ prabhanda kaavyaas , paintings, sculpture, music , dance

38 dream while asleep, , or day dream or virtual dream created by the kavi, like the episode of ''varudhini pravaraakhya''has connection with navarasas, funny enjoyable dreams with hasya, srungara, remorseful karuna, nightmarish bheebhatsa, dreadful bhayanak,,

39 where the waking state does not permit , or does not approve, the system finds an escape route , ie dream where exist no bars, it can be like a private rave party, or wild circus, or like a penance in a cave in the mountain, or a jungle, where individual is free, even to do a puja or tapasya or sport with gods, which is not possible in the waking state, yet desire persisting, hence , in dream all is permitted , promethian unbounded

40 quality of dream depends on the purity of the body mind nervous system, if one is pure, beautiful divine dreams of devalok are possible, good persons would like to be good in dream also, like pravara, they swear not to commit sin even in dream , this firm resolve persists in dream also, and acts as a shield against all attractions . however till all the impurities are cleared , some impure dreams may persist, indicative of the cleaning that is happening , so nothing to worry on impure dreams

41 when one had the glimpse of Truth, it makes him to express the ''chunks of that truth'' , ie darshanas, / cognitions,/ insights,/ richas, in a number of ways , in a number of communication mediums, hence ekam sath vipra bahudaa vadanthi, in their lang or slang , as per their feel , they create and create, each a unique product , yet with a sheen of unity

42 even when one is fed up with dreams'..........yet god continues the cleaning operation , sleep is his anesthesia, let the process happen ,but to accelerate the cleaning intensive practice of meditation helps

43 nidra bhangam, should not happen,, one should not ''walk miles and miles before i sleep,'', .sleep deprivation is to be avoided ...a sleeping individual should not be disturbed , ....adequate sleep and in the process adequate dreaming is to be allowed .....yukthaahaara vihaarasya

44 i had a funniest dream, .......in this dream ..i was enlightened in a different way ...a funny revelation occurred .''.ie, in temple do not stand in front of god, , since if you stand in front , god and you , duality exists ...instead, enter the garbha gudi, and stand behind the statue, where you see only the black, blank, back side without the roopa , and i stood for a while accordingly and i found merged with the statue, ..i disappeared..''........this is blasphemy in the waking state, but dream is a dream

45  ‘’i dont dream, i cant dream’’ …one cannot .at will , since ‘’will’’ is asleep , dream happens or does not happen as per the system requirement, duration of dream too … stomach upset or any such signals indicate that either system is getting strained beyond elastic limit, crossing/violating swadharma, so some regulatory action may be required….or… nature is carrying repair/rejuvenation, ….best to allow

It to happen.

A dreamless deep sleep indicates good health and purity

More profound is the ability of Witnessing the sleep and dream, ie when one is deep asleep or in a dream, one comes to know that he is sleeping, or dreaming, he can hear his snoring/ watch his breath , he can continue /discontinue the dream/sleep and wake up as per will , here will is not asleep

That means he has conquered sleep, ie he has attained mastery over one of the 4 survival instincts of nature , …nidra, aahara, bhaya maithuna

While On earth plane , Even in waking state, one unconsciously enters in a reverie, even ethereal , mind in silent dialog with internal ista devatha or with one’s beloved

Creative individuals writers/ poets /artists  create their dream consciously and wantedly driven by the inclination of imagination/ and dwell in that virtual world like kalidas, and give expression to their visit and visions

46  dream experiences may be similar with different individuals, but may / may not be for the same reasons/ causes, comparing may not be advisable.  Analysis of dreams may be /may not be precise.  One’s own feel / conclusion is authentic , and valid for oneself, since dream is a very very personal matter , it is in fact an affair with god, in surrenderful-ness

 For a growing star performer,, praise misleads,

praise may be a well considered assessment, or just casual formality, or just not to displease, not to pick quarrel, just for mutual good, 

truth is though not pleasing some times, appears as criticism ''king going naked'' helps the king and others to wake up, praise is an intoxication, a veil, an obstruction for growth, one remains alpa santoshi 

But i find some masters , and some master bloggers look only for 

praise, head count, not the content of heads, 

they resent criticism, feel leg-pulling,

if a different angle of truth is shown by a stray reader , not liked by their limited grasp

brand him as ''absurd, ''egoist,''vagabond, ''useless, ''stone, ''arrogant,'' impudent'

they remain immune for suggestions for improvement, 

assuming that their merit is assessed by praises

they go in the same grove, no growth, though time is passing, 

though innumerable suggestions pour in into their every blog 

i find real growth is missing 

but only praise for them is growing 

like in the story 

''some monkeys around a glow worm , assuming that is fire, 
and trying hard to light the fire, 
to basking themselves in the cold around it , 
and when a rabit who tells the truth that it is not fire, 
they hound it and kill it ''

 Attention is the most valuable possession

attention has two characteristics, outward and inward
outward attention is branching, splitting, widening, , expanding, thinning, weakening,
inward attention is collecting, uniting ,contracting, thickening, strengthening ,
both are natural attributes , having their application as appropriate
--
With appropriate training, one can do multitasking
Multi-processing simultaneous is the ability of the outward, catering to different needs at a time
i may be typing, but i am listening to music too now---
---
I said attention is power , it is the ability to canalizing the energy
eg awareness is split in playing tabala to two hands, and the energy is delivered in strong or weak doses on both tabala and baaya and at different times in laya, like thali and khali, with more and with less strong strokes
one learns this splitting of attention ,and in the time frame and gives the various types of thaals, and in madhya laya, druth laya etc
here he is not uniform or strong in the beam of attention but divides splits breaks, at will weakens it, strengthens it , and with speed .
when zakeer hussain accompanies a sitar, his ears are receiving, his hands are delivering , some times eyes are at the audience, some times at sitar player, some times closed .
here you see the master artist
he is the expert in handling attention , to weaken or strengthen hence the relevance of my word weakening
eg
if he is weakening at thali, then his performance is dull
if he is strengthening at khaali , he is wrong also
so the art is nothing but mastery over attention
and life is art
1 tasks becomes too taxing, since exhausted / weakened by over-spending,
so ,'' stand at ease '' is the intelligent command to get it back again
2 the one who has connected with his source can perform without relenting with the same enthusiasm, here the fountain is open, so spending is replenished continuously, hence the joy riders and pilots even workaholics persist in hours of performance
3 mastery over attention makes the activity self driven automatic, effortless, untiring
hence the relevance of the dictum ''karma sukaushalam
4 on a painting'/drawing/ any art, value is proportional to the attention given to the detail and the perspective
career growth is dependent on more attentive contribution than just attendance signing
5 relevant are two phrases
pay attention=spending of our wealth
seek attention=earning from others wealth
and such other phrases
and so we thank for considered responses
We must understand this subject nicely
art of life is art of handling attention
the more one learns this ''know how '', on the ways and nature of attention, the more powerful one becomes .
1 the one strong beam of attention from individual being
branches and goes out thru all organs of perception and action ,
and also from every particle of body, like an aura
in fact it goes out like the rays from a burning wood , in different quantities from its surface , some in large beams in one direction, and some in small feeble beams, and some with least strong beam in other directions
in all beings maximum attention goes out thru eyes
that is
why sarvendriaanam nayanam pradhanam
and the beams of lower intensity goes thru limbs, senses, skin, hair, nails
in the hair, and nails it is the least intense , weak
the moment one looks at the star, first the attention goes to the star in instant
[[correct me, it may be faster than light, since it is all pervasive ?? ]
and then the signal enters instantly thru eyes
so it is both ways , to and fro, in and out going
1 spending of attention must be economical , should not be wasted
2 once attention is spent one becomes exhausted and tired
3 hence for economizing , closing the eyes now and then , when not using , helps
4 for recharging one must go inward
5 hence all our traditions have been to close the eyes, do some meditation, get the system charged and come out to spend again
5.1 i surmise , but pl confirm, in doing folded hands namasthe, we just reduce the outflow,
to reduce thru feet we wear some wooden/leather footwear, paduka,
6 games for children are to develop multi tasking, by learning handling of awareness thru all limbs
7dance is an expression of mastery over attention
this is my comprehensive blog on attention
and thanks for your kind strong ''attention

Star' performer

giving the best classical renderings well articulated

with melodious ,mellifluous voice,

in perfect sync with accompanying tabala, fiddle ,

and all the nice instruments and players

he was a well acknowledged pandit,

with  a very good record of performance

his concerts were thronged by huge listeners

with taste for good music 

 

and also there was an intelligent student of music attending these concerts,

with an alert ear, listening and enjoying with great relish, mostly in just silence

though there was occasional applause from the rest.

 

Amidst the silence, when all audience were lulled into ‘sleep’,

probably by the singer singing probably in some ‘dream’, so to say,

and went into----- apashruthi,--- but ---never noticed by others,----

this man suddenly, unexpected, used to say

 

‘wah wah, kyabath hai, bahooth khoob’

 

and audience, as if an uncontrollable involuntary response, used to shower thunders of claps, knowing not what exactly was the enthralling beauty that made this one fellow to burst into such loud praise

 

and the singer, becoming aware of  the inadvertent apashruthi that happened,

but flabbergasted with the undeserved applause,

used to go red in face,

not knowing whether to chide this fellow for such mischief,

or to thank him for pointing out the flaw, in an intelligent manner, and helping to improve the performance,

not knowing whether he is pulling the legs, or stretching helping hands

Art and science are two together

 Art and science are two together

Ultimate of science is to become ''all knowing '', omniscient

ultimate of art is to become '' all capable'', omnipotent

-----art n science together both for joy 

Misery is due to ignorance
gyani is always happy 

YogaratovA bhogaratovA
sangaratovA sanghavihiinaH|
yadat brahmani ramate chettam
nandati nadati nandatyeva||

Art n science together for producing maximum happiness with minimum energy , without wasting , 

for doing less accomplishing more 

Science is to know 
art is to create
 

Best creation happens in bliss
anando brahma
 

''a science is an investigation by means of repeatable experiment to gain useful and testable knowledge'' ----maharishi 
''a science is a systematized body of knowledge ''-------usual definition
knowledge has innumerable branches , each branch with gross and subtle levels
 

All for generating joy ultimately 

Krishna is expert in 64 arts

gita is a great artistic creation, as well as a great science of life 

he presented a comprehensive vision of science technology and art in simplest words 

science is to be ''yogastha'', ie to be come knowledgeable

technology is to ''kuru karmani '' ie to device ways and means of doing the work

art is to ''karma sukaushalam'' , to be performing skillfully , with total mastery on science technology and art of life

Deeper the ocean, stronger, higher and wilder is the rise of the wave 

Basis for every artistic creation is the thorough understanding of laws of nature , ie science 

A musical composition is created, 
but expressed thru a musical instruments like sitar tampura tabala etc which are designed and created with best knowledge of science on relevant materials and processes of design and manufacture , finishing, tuning, upkeep, repair maintenance
 

Basis for every artistic creation is the thorough understanding of laws of nature , ie science 

Science is a march knowing laws from gross to subtle and beyond , it is essentially inward march
art is a march creating master pieces of art , using the basic raw material , ie laws of nature
 

Art of music is a technique of healing 
ie music therapy , gandharva veda details
 

Gandharva veda is the scientific structure of the art of music producing the most beneficial effects on the individual and environ and the universe, , defining the time and raagas scientifically

God is a great scientist and a great artist of life , master of universe, jagannath 

Science is analysis
art is synthesis

Spirituality is both science and art 

By realizing the Supreme Reality , it is possible to synthesize science, art, culture, religion and spirituality for the common goal of universal joy and well being

By knowing the ultimate science, one can create a universe of his choice 
artists dwell in their created art universe

We must know science of being 
then possible to cultivate art of living
 

Sa re ga ma is science of music
a raaga is artistic out put
 

In the ultimate zoom out level , all will be superbly ok and beautiful 
hence arjun was asked to view situation in the ultimate zoom out, ie vishva roop , total perspective
..

Science is factual on the cause and effect
superstition is assumption on the cause and effect
 

Connoisseur is a provocateur
wisdom =knowledge+intelligence
knowledge without intelligence misleads 
intelligence is the basic quality of existence exemplified by the order and purpose of change
 

Naishkarmyam is the best karma

''Similarities between art and science''
--rather complementarily, prakrithi and purusha
art is creation prakrithi, science is knowledge, purusha
 

''of beauty and creativity...''
beauty has a lot of science behind it , principles of aesthetics , saundarya shashthra 
creativity sprouts from knowledge , inner knowledge 
deeper the artist, more creative he is , more beautiful his creation 
more of ''sathyam shivam sundaram''
 

''.even science creates some objects for the benefit or convenience of humanity.''
--every impulse of creation, artistic/ technological is towards producing more and more joy , towards, ultimate bliss
 

Music is a art medium 
but it gas the detailed sangeeth shastra behind it 
every art has a science basis
 

''but it is the limitless human artistic mind'' sees some insights, some inner beauty, inner chunk of knowledge , and wants to share the findings and the joy of discoveries with one and all , and so '' creates wonders using some science.'' creates/ selects a medium to express the mysteries experienced in the known /unknown language/idiom , and tries to do it with the best of his abilities yet , he may succeed in giving just a glimpse/ a lead of the vision , since the abstract experiences can not be expressed fully /clearly by any means, these must be experienced directly
however such leads/ suggestions may click that rare experiences in a few lucky receivers 
and they reach the source of that mystery within , like the givers inner source
some blogs take one to their own inner depths 
for some others it's just a casual reading

In various matters of life there remains a combination of science and art

----since, human personality is a total package 
consisting of all the infinite components,
each individual is a scientist, an artist, a seer, a poet , a dancer, a singer, a god, a devil, a dr jekil, a mr hide ---all coexisting , but some get activated , some remain dormant as per occasion, context, need, cause etc

Also for the same inputs, different individuals respond in different ways

for example, if one hears a song, a recitation of a poem, audience responds differently , some become fans, some just listen and forget
also, for the same inputs, the same individual responds differently depending on the situation/ internal or external conditions 
for example if a movie is seen, first time it will be exciting , likable, but if seen again it may not be that appealing
 

And when a song is heard, an individual responds in multi-modes, 
the scientist in him sees the sa re ga ma aspect of it and nodes at the precision displayed
the poet in him looks at the lyric/ the bhava /meaning and says wah 
the mystique in him enjoys the song , forgetting the earthly plane for a while 
the critic / the intellectual in him evaluates the song / rates/ classifies/ appraises

all these processes happen in a synthesized manner, some aspects dominating, some other aspects subdued
there will not be a situation when art alone is seen or science alone is appreciated, 
it is a contextual mixed response

The scientist in us 
after reaching the goal truth, [vedanta ] , ie sathyam
awakens the artist in us, 
who starts creating sub-truths,ie ,the veda / vedic richas, 
ie the retail packages of knowledge ,and contextual creations,

ie upanishads, upakhyanas, kaavyaas , ,udanthas, puranas,
prabandhas, epics, dramas, stories, novels, essays, literature, 
sculpture, paintings,
,gods, temples, structures, customs, systems, traditions, 

along with goodies, necessities, comforts luxuries
---all to bring heavenly existence on earth , in detail, 
purposeful, useful, need based, result oriented, 
creates a new civilization , obsoleting the worn out , 
updating the times to the present moment
 

The scientist Einstein tearing off the veil of jagath mithya
peeped into the field of brahma sathyam , 
unifying the matter and energy with his equation E=m c squared 
the artist tagore created master pieces, by stretching his existence beyond the visible, local, mundane 
blessed are the scientists and artists, they did inherit the heavens
 

Science reveals truth, uncovering layer by layer progressively , it says ''pot is mud'' 
it removes all illusions, it frees 

art hides truth, art is maya ,it says ''there is no mud, it is a beautiful, colorful , round pot ,, ''
in the charm of shape, size, color, texture, design, embellishment of the pot , the truth of mud is obscured/covered/

science says what is actual truth
art distorts , deshapes, flattens, enlarges, elongates, paints, and hides what is there actually 
art shows some thing that is not there
it creates a illusion
it deludes, lures, deceives, entices, enslaves, binds, limits in time space frame
 

"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth." - Pablo Picasso

Allegory

Allegory is what,how,why,when

Allegory is a device used to present an idea, principle or meaning, which can be presented in literary form, such as a poem or novel, in musical form, such as composition or lyric, or in visual form, such as in painting or drawing. It is also seen in scriptural passage. Allegory communicates its message by means ofsymbolic figures, actions or symbolic representation. Allegory is generally treated as a figure of rhetoric; a rhetorical allegory is a demonstrative form of representation conveying meaning other than the words that are spoken.
As a literary device, an allegory in its most general sense is an extended metaphor. As an artistic device, an allegory is a visual symbolic representation. An example of a simple visual allegory is the image of thegrim reaper. Viewers understand that the image of the grim reaper is a symbolic representation of death-----.   wikipedia 

it's the human ingeniousness which invents media to communicate abstract in more perceivable with all kinds of real life icons, images, experiences .

spirituality can be taught that way , a saint a seer , a enlightened soul coming down to the earth level, trying to share his findings in known lang and idiom .

parabrahma that is why takes a form , like teen moorthis, and creates the world of devi devathas , lokas higher and then lower to communicate own glory in countless ways, to countless levels of the souls highest to the lowest

First , direct flight, jet plane super fast, nonstop forward journey to the ultimate destination , without any kind of chain pulling, refueling, accidents, or chakkars in the sky, and reaching the lap of paramathma, in shortest time-----thru guru krupa----and then 

on the return journey --oh, ah, ---what a great wonderous encounters---, pause here, no problem, skip no problem

And this return journey is the life of real enjoyment --all with body, senses, mind, subtle mind--
all the grossest to the subtlest creation at every station, every step, every moment , the stop overs are great, enjoyable, all a feast, all a festival

Here are the lokas, all the devathas, kinnera kimpurushas, gandharvas, rishis, apsarasas, all singing, dancing, ever care free,
talk to them, play with them see their dance listen to their song , acquire their boons enjoy their mahimas

Here comes the relevance of allegory
a kind of multi media performance, created by the ones who did the direct flight, and who paused at each station on the return journey

they created their darshanas, kaavyaas, prabhandas, romantics epics drama poetry song dance even drawings paintings pictures, sculptures, statues , moorthis, temples, gopuras, thheeraths, gardens, brindavans,

They all invited the higher beings to stay and live a midst our lives , in our bodies , in our minds , in our souls , in our living, in our cultures customs traditions, literature philosophies episodes , our sayings in our walk in our talk

And glorified the mundane into a happy heaven

but
caution
first nonstop direct flight is a must
if one stops on the way he lost his track, he lost his opportunity he lost his life.
distractions , confusion, chaos, meaninglessness, helplessness.

but the same stations , on the return journey is lovely enjoyment , bliss unending, all mastery no thing to worry or care

so this point to be noted by all serious souls

we are all 100 per cent responsible

we are all 100 per cent responsible for how our life turns 

we are all 100 per cent responsible for how our life turns out.

we should not pass the buck on god, fate, circumstances, or on any other nice title conveniently, cunningly,

1  we are entities in the organisation of god, ie, in the universe, with well defined powers, duties, responsibilities,, and with infinite options moment to moment, and associated rewards punishments, yet with unlimited scope to rise to higher levels,
to the topmost level even, all thru our alert, wise, timely actions , with alacrity, with a working life of 100 years.

some rise. some stay stuck, some commit mistakes,
and what happens to us as consequence is due to our own actions

2  some vehicle hits, though we are safe in driving, though we are not involved,earth quake may kill us. rain does not come, sunami, floods, disasters occur
however ,here too we are responsible to what happens to us, and every where 
since, 
we did not learn and know how to do the right action at the right rime, so that all these can be predicted, so we could escape, so that all these bad happennings are prevented, and do not happen at all 
 
but ignorance of law is no excuse

3  one falls in the water, dies--he did not learn
other falls in the water, swims, survives, even enjoys a dip in water
---he is a master, over water 

4 we are meant to be masters by learning the art of becoming the master, and command the universe at will

5 our traditions taught this wisdom, to enable us to become master, not to be a football at the situations and circumstances, just being a helpless creature 

we lost that great education, hence we try to pass the buck cleverly on all externals , fate, god, colleague, neighbor, govt, god 
for all our own deficiencies
