SV: Nirvikalpa Samadhi and Memory

[Guest guest]

I do not know if I ever will be able to take part in discussions like this

one.

You see, when talking to my teacher I could never use any foreign words.

 

I remember once saying something with the word Moksha.

I would have preferred being hit by a stick.

 

Only two or three 'quotes' was ever accepted, after very many years maybe

two or three of my own.

And mentioning such an experience a second time, you may imagine the

expression in her eyes

A simple and effective way to prevent parroting

as well as stimulation to contemplate on issues

like formulation of experiences. The word "sunset"

is a classic, the sun neither rises nor sets :-)

You could have given a description of sudden, unexpected

change regarding responsiveness: total obliviousness of issues

related to fear, guilt, shame, to mention just three from the

palette of afflictions called "the potential for suffering".

 

IOW, what doesn't need memory no longer can be experientially

veiled, whatever the event and eventual memory resulting from it.

Strictly speaking, any talk is quoting the dictionary ;-)
