unconscious mind-III; Pujya Gurudev


Do you understand the language of your unconscious mind?
= Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The picture of the hole in the draggers tip seen in the dream became clearer in his mind and sparked off the idea of making a sharp hole at the tip of the needle for the purpose of threading. This is how a dream led to a great invention of the modern era. Interestingly, the method of large-scale production of bullets was also learnt through a dream. Until about two centuries ago, lead balls were used in the pull and press type guns. 
These types of guns may now be seen in some backward villages, where people use them to scare away the wild animals. These guns were used in the battlefield those days. Production of the bullets was a tedious task as these were prepared by stretching lead wires or cutting lead sheets and then shaping them round. James Watt found this process too cumbersome and crude but he had no alternate solutions. His scientific instinct began searching for easier mechanisms. One of these days he dreamt that he had been blown away by stormy winds. Suddenly it started pouring. 
He was amazed to see (in the dream) that instead of water or snow this was a rain of tiny balls of lead. It clicked to him in his dream state that this was the alternative improved method of making bullets. He woke up the next moment but the clues provided by the dream were not clear to him. He had written at one plac. "I saw the same dream for four nights in a sequel. It forced me to think and decode the message conveyed by it - blow of wind, rains (stream of water) and lead balls! One idea flashed that all this is an indication of blowing the drops of melted lead in water with the help speedy winds!" The above idea materialized soon thereafter, when James Watt experimented near a water pond. Unlike today, there were no well-equipped laboratories for scientific experiments in those times. James was looking for a pool of water near a huge tree or wall. 
He found a pond right behind a church. The place was breezy too. He got the permission to climb up the wall. From there he showered the droplets of molten lead into the pond. To his surprise, these droplets of molten lead were getting converted into tiny solid balls in the pond. These were indeed the bullets he saw in the dream. Rene Descartes is honored as a great mathematician and philosopher who laid the foundation of several major principles of mathematics and hence of modern science. His invaluable contributions can be attributed to the three history making dreams, which he saw on the 10th November 1619 at around 3 a.m. in the early hours of dawn. Descartes was puzzled those days by the complexities of his own life. 
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
