Memory

[Guest guest]

*******************

 

Memory alone seems to justify our idea of

continuity, our impression of being the same

individual from our birth until our death rather

than a series of innumerable individuals, each

resembling the other but each one different, in the

end giving the impression of gradual change; so that

this faculty of memory would seem to be the least

illusory element in our 'self' We can claim that

alone as being truly ourselves. Our notion of

continuity has no other basis.

The Natural State

 

***

Once Ramaswami Pillai searched for a key. After

sometime he found it.

 

Maharshi :

 

The key was in its usual place. It was not lost.

Only his memory of it was not there.

The Self is everywhere.

Not being aware of this due to forgetfulness

of our real nature ,we keep searching for it.
