"To love someone whom you like is insignificant. To love someone because they love you is of no consequence To love someone whom you do not like means you have learned a lesson in life. To love someone who blames you for no reason shows that you have learned the art of living..." ----- His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji

Memory-Hindrance&Blessing
The forgetfulness in the nature of man is the root cause of all problems
and suffering in life. The very remembrance of one’s nature, which is
godliness, brings freedom in life. Here, memory is your best friend. The
purpose of knowledge is to remind you of your true nature. In the
Bhagvad Gita, Arjuna said to Krishna, "I got back my memory. Now I have
realized and will do as you say."
Memory is a blessing and your
best friend when it comes to your true nature. Memory is a hindrance
when it does not let you be free of events, pleasant or unpleasant.
Pleasant
events create cravings and competition in the mind and do not allow
fresh experiences, whereas unpleasant events give a biased perception
and create paranoia. So the memory is both a blessing and a hindrance
depending on whether you remember your nature or you are stuck with
events in time and space.
