After listening to Swamiji on the Ashtavakra Gita Chapter 16
MEMORY
I am that Memory that makes you dance
I am that memory that makes you cry,
I am that memory that makes you forget ME
You have to forget You to reach ME
Or drop me to find ME.
The memories and thoughts of the Past are like a
Lodestone around your neck,
Drowning you in this
world , Samsar,
The older you grow, the heavier they get....
Release them as you would a helium balloon,
and then see yourself fly to ME.
Memory says I am going to poison you with the
pain of remembrance
OR
make you pine with longing for remembered pleasures.
In either way I have captured you my dear,
and made you my prisoner.
How are you going to release yourself from me?
The basic premise being that when we meditate our past memories come up to the surface and these memories prevent us from experiencing the bliss which is our soul.
