Before talking of a genie... let us understand What is a djinn (genie)?
A Djinn... also spelt as genie means existence of a supernatural being! Some supernatural power having far more extraordinary powers than normal human beings possess! What actually do we mean when we talk of a Djinn or a genie.
The mention of Djinn (genie) can be found in the stories of Aladdin and also stories connected to messages being found in sealed bottles floating in the ocean.
Aladdin as luck would have it (not fate)... was sealed by his uncle in a cave as he was not adhering to the commands of his uncle. His uncle had engaged Aladdin for retrieving an oil lamp from the cave. Before sending him into the cave his uncle gave him a finger ring with the advice that it should only be used in times of need.
When in the cave Aladdin realized the moment he hands over the lamp to his uncle... his fate would be sealed forever in the cave itself. His uncle had planned that after retrieving the lamp he would leave Aladdin in the cave until death overtook him.
Aladdin refused to come out of the cave with the lamp. His uncle in anger sealed the cave. Days passed by and in hunger Aladdin toiled left and right. In the process his finger ring rubbed the stone and out came a Djinn (genie) and asked of his master Aladdin, "What can I do for you".
Similar powers of a Djinn (genie) existing in the oil lamp became known to Aladdin later on. With the help of this Djinn (genie) Aladdin became rich and married a princess.
Now what is this Djinn (genie)... none can understand better than an enlightened one! Every human being has a Djinn (a live genie) supporting one throughout the life. But only one or two in billions realize it. Our soul (atman in Hinduism) existing within our heart is a Djinn (genie) which can make all of us take our destiny under control.
Those who are able to take control of their Djinn (genie) within their lifetime... become enlightened and finally gain salvation (moksha in Hinduism). To be able to understand this crux of life is the real essence of life. More on genie here- http://www.godrealized.org/truce_with_my_inner_self.html
