Dogs or Cats as mentioned above, just represent the spiritual seekers in broader perspective. For either of them the journey on the pathless path begins from an assumed point: For the first (Dog) say Bhakta ….it starts with “YOU- Only YOU” – I am Nothing ( Not me ) whereas for the other (Cat) say Gyani…it starts with “ME- Nothing else- I am Everything ( I AM )…! 🙂
 
With breaking of a Dream..during the course of this so called journey…The First wakes up at HOME with an understanding, “MYSELF- What is not me! I am Everything” and the other wakes up from a dream with an understanding,” YOU-What is not you! I am Nothing”!. 🙂 The circle gets completed, when reaching HOME happens…(not from an external door)..waking up from a ‘waking-state dream’ happens! What is common in both the cases is “waking up from a dream”. Does not matter what is the assumed beginning point ’cause it is alwyas a part of the dream including the dreamer!
