I am a big, great diamond

this is a recurring dream from a fellow spiritual student. 

'my spiritual teacher gives me a sari, all wrapped up. it looks old, dusty. she says, "unwrap it." well, since it is a sari, it is 6 yard long and it takes a while to unwrap. i feel like i want to give up. she keeps encouraging me, "keep going." finally, in the midst of a pile of stale, dull fabric, a big diamond reveals. my teacher says, "this is you. this is everybody."'

indeed, i have been having the experience that what i am really is a brilliant gem underneath all this mental crap of old sari.
