The Palm Leaf Dream

I had a dream in which I found myself near a temple surrounded by palm trees, banana plants, and elephants.

I saw Savitri and me sitting inside the temple, while a learned pandit held in his hands long, narrow leaves inscribed with text. The pandit was reading from them in a foreign language—most likely Sanskrit—and another pandit was translating the words into English for us.

The script was small and exquisitely beautiful, more like tiny pictures than writing. Because the letters were so fine, the reading took a very long time, and I couldn't believe how much was written there. They were palm leaves—the very ones I had first heard about as a child.

When I woke up, I told Savitri the entire dream, and she immediately began searching for the temple on Google. When she found it, a wave of heat swept over me. I was drenched, as if I had just stepped out of the shower!

The body's reaction intrigued me, and to understand its meaning, I turned to the Master for guidance.

Question:
Why did I feel that intense heat when I realized that the temple with the palm-leaf manuscripts is in South India, where one can have their destiny read?

Answer:
Your heart chakra and third eye are open. You correctly received the information that records about you are kept there.

Your soul knows everything—even that its story is written there: how it was first born, and what its purpose is. If you truly wish to know all, you may visit this temple at any time and make great decisions. Whenever you desire, you may learn everything and fulfill your purpose—or you may continue your search, as others in this world do. Many things are said about this place, but only the courageous set out to reach the temple of this world—to act.

Question:
What message does all this carry for others?

Answer:
This message holds meaning for all who receive it in their hearts. Not everyone born into this world has a record in that library. Not everyone would benefit from this message. It is not something to read for amusement, as one reads fiction or anything else to be entertained. Not at all!

The message reaches all who take part in the "infinite" incarnation of this world—those who have accepted this planet as their home through many births. For only brave souls pass through this "school."

Earth has its own magic, and to be born here is a gift of life, love, and endless "suffering." Cherish the opportunity of being born here, for some are granted only a single birth—and even that is infinite grace.

Now I sense where my soul is calling me next. I could have my life's path read and sent to me online, but how sacred and transformative it would be to step into the temple itself—to hear, from the lips of the pandit, the words that carry the imprint of my destiny.

The soul would resonate—as if recognizing the truth it has always known. The presence within the temple, the words, and the energy would allow my soul to vibrate like a chord on a perfectly tuned instrument.
