BEING

For the unrealised soul every moment comes steeped in its own glory of pleasure or pain.
For the Realised Soul every moment is a moment.........
No Beginning , no End
Just NOW  -  BEING

You can be the drop and joyfully ride the wave
or
You can be the wave and rise and fall
The CHOICE IS YOURS
FOR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF IDENTIFICATION

Memory

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.
