Chinese Vegetable Plate Where Is My Veggie Plate? I shouted in the cafeteria having gathered stir-fried string beans, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn— ready to eat and now it's gone. The neighbor said a waitress took it away while I was searching for a clean fork, and helping hold the pan for the pastry chef slicing pieces of cake to a plate. The manager promised to make me a fresh plate of vegetables. Then suddenly I wake up, but want to return to the dream to finish my dinner and taste a slice of that angel cake. Just wait a minute!— why be so foolish to satisfy the dreamer's hunger when I could get out of bed and have a real bowl of oatmeal. Sage Ramana Maharshi told his students "The same mind creating the dream world is makng the waking world now and both states are illusory!"— It's time to wake up, wake up to the real eternal state and taste the bliss of fullness.
