Gurunam Singh Shares a Dream

Sat Nam Honorers of the Divine Feminine,

What  a dream I woke to this morning! When I dream with my teacher, or my Guru, or I am in the temple, those are special dreams to me. So here it goes...

I was entering the temple to bow to my Guru when a woman crossed in front of me. She was walking toward the prasad. (Prasad is a sweet that is handed out in gurdwara, temple, services to be eaten. Prasad is the sweet blessing of God filled with every ones prayers.) This woman was a singer of Gods praises. She had devoted her life to singing Gods praises as best she could. She was fully dressed for her Guru, in nice clothes and turban. I was on my way to bow when I noticed my head wasn't even covered. But I wanted to be at the Gurus feet so badly I kept walking. I very quickly realized I had a sweatshirt on and pulled the hood up over my head to show my respects to the extent I could. I laid my head in front of my Guru and the touch was so deep. I began to weep there at the Gurus feet. A line of people started to grow behind me who wanted me to move but I didn't want to move. They started to bow to my right side. I couldn't stop crying. All I could think was how precious every moment was there at the foot of my Guru. That every extra second my head was right there meant worlds and universes and lifetimes. And every second my consciousness seemed to deepen and expand and open so rapidly. So I stayed as many extra seconds as I could. Just a little I began to resent the people in the line behind me. I felt they needed to understand even more how important this moment with the Guru was and a little anger stirred inside me. I finally got up to leave and there was a different beautiful woman. She was looking at me from the side of her eye as she sat reading her prayers just curious to that I couldn't hide my tears, interested in what was going on inside me. The pain and joy of those moments with my Guru are so dear and special to me.. As I walked towards the door to leave I felt a primal depth and at the same time saw so much beauty. I became more perplexed and upset that people didn't hold this time sacred enough or understand it deeply enough. As I left there was a man on the other side of a door talking to someone, not honoring how close he was to the Guru , and he was unconsciously blocking the way out. I felt the master in my body and I just looked at the man without saying a word. Mentally, and very strongly, I told him "Be more respectful of your Guru, pay attention and get out of my way!" He stepped back quickly, almost falling back, and was shocked.

So there is my dream! So blessed. That feeling when bowing happens when I pray in the Gurus presence. Many times in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib the poets speak of the the soul as being the bride and the Guru the Husband Lord. That all our souls, man or woman, serve the Lord of life with the strength, humilty, kindness, care and consciousness of the divine feminine. That is kind of how I see this woman in the dream who devoted her life to singing to God beautifully dressed to see her Guru. Blessed I was again on leaving just to have eye contact with another woman who had concern for me and a curiosity to understand and know me. The Divine feminine wanting to know me and share with me. One woman was a singer and was going straight for the prasad,  receiving the deep blessings and sharing them. Another was reading prayers. It is good to be conscious, attentive and respectful in life. Can't we all benefit from this effort? It is part of why we do yoga or pray/meditate. These women in the dreams seemed like guideposts to me. Ultimately the Guru will take me in no matter how I come if I come with devotion. I am so blessed when I bow to the Guru. Guru is my mother and loves me and cares so deeply to touch me in this way. To refine parts of myself when I am offered the opportunity is a gift and a way of deepening my relationship with the divine. The divine feminine puts the sweetness in the prasad. The divine feminine shows me how to pray. The divine feminine shows me how to be respectful and honorable. And when I sing Gods praises and bow to the light of my own highest consciousness the master himself will bless me to feel His presence in me, see it around me, and act accordingly. Or should I say Her presence?
