Nasruddin was fast asleep at nine in the morning.The Sun was in the sky,the birds were singing in the trees and his breakfast was getting cold.So his wife decided to wake him up.
He woke up in a rage."Why did you wake me up,just now?" he yelled.
"The sun has risen in the sky,"said she, "the breakfast is getting cold."
"Breakfast be damned,"he said, I was about to sign a contract worth a million grammes of gold!"
With that he closed his eyes to recapture his shattered dream and those million grammes of gold.
Now Nasruddin was cheating in that contract and his business partner was a tyrant.
If , on recapturing the dream, he stops cheating, he will become a saint.
If he struggles to free the people from the oppression of the tyrant, he will be a freedom fighter.
If, in the middle of it all,he suddenly realises he is dreaming, he will become Awakwned.Enlightened
-From TOI.
