Wake up from the dream of material consciousness by Krishna consciousness

In the condition of dreaming, when one’s consciousness is almost

covered, one may see many unfavorable things which cause disturbance or

anxiety, but upon awakening, although he remembers what happened in the

dream, he is not disturbed. Similarly the position of self-realization,

or understanding of one’s real relationship with the Supreme Lord, makes

one completely satisfied, and the three modes of material nature, which

are the cause of all disturbances, cannot affect him. In contaminated

consciousness one sees everything to be for his own enjoyment, but in

pure consciousness, or Krsna consciousness, he sees that everything

exists for the enjoyment of the supreme enjoyer. That is the difference

between the dream state and wakefulness.
