NO !! A dream may be defined as a group of thoughts, images or feelings experienced during sleep or semi conscious state of mind. Let us confine to Sai Baba and His dreams. We know Baba has chosen dream visions for communicating any instruction to His devotees.
One Mr Muthu Swamier of OOty had written in October,1944 issue of Sai Sudha that all dreams and chits drawn are not correct. Let us note his practical experience in this regard. His son was an intelligent student. He appeared for SSLC exam. He was devoted to Lord Sai. He had a dream in which HH BVN Swamiji told he had failed in the exam. After waking he cast chits before Baba's photo. The chit picked up by him showed negative result. Being disturbed he left the house with some money. After two or three days the result was announced and the boy passed. Even though he returned home within 24 hours his faith in Baba and Swamiji was lost.
Sri Muthu Swamier opined that all dreams should not be taken as God sent and true visions are Visions of truth. He also noted that the constant consultation of Sri Sai Baba by anyone and everyone casting chits in any state of mind was a serious mistake. He felt a Sai surrendered soul had a right to consult Him. If a devotee was in immediate need of Baba's direction could draw chits. It should be for guidance not merely to get a prediction as from an astrologer.
Dear readers, now a days several devotees feel they got Sai's instructions through dreams, they even go to the extent that Sai Baba spoke to them. We cannot say NO, we have to believe as that is one way of guiding the devotee. Sometimes a doubt arises can't Baba appear in the dream of a concerned person instead of a mediator. Even if some gets a dream, Sai's Grace is a must for correct interpretation of the dream.
Drawing chits before Baba's photo is being done by ardent devotees like Narasimha Swamiji, HS Dikshit etc., Once Pujya Sivanesan Swamy told "People draw chits at times when they don't want to do a thing." If we seek Sai's guidance with full FAITH,He will guide.
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI !!!
