Zen monk, Bokoju woke up one morning and immediately called his chief disciple, telling him, "Listen, I have had a dream. Can you analyze it for me?”
The disciple said, ”Wait! I will bring a little water. First wash your face.”
He brought a pot full of water and helped the master wash his face and hands. While he was doing that another disciple was passing by. The master said, ”Listen, I had this dream. Will you analyze it for me?”
He said, ”Just wait... it is better I bring a cup of tea for you” – and he brought him a cup of tea.
The master had a good belly laugh. He said, ”If you had analyzed my dream I would have beaten you and thrown you out!”
What changes is 'mitthya' (very akin to myth) & what always remains unchanged is 'satya' (truth). Analysis of existence is futile therefore. Still, while I am in dream I live the dream! When awake the another dream starts!!
