"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

Ridding Unpleasant memories
It is memory that makes you miserable or wise. Memory of events and
experiences of the changing finite binds you, and memory of your nature
liberates you. Memory of the ever changing relative, however good or
bad, brings bondage. Memory of the non-changing self elevates awareness.
Memory of past events and worldly concerns constricts the vastness of
the self. It is all a matter of where you are, of what you are. If you
are ignorant, it is because of your memory. If you are enlightened, it
is because of your memory.
Forgetfulness of the trivial is ecstasy.
Forgetfulness of the infinite is misery.
Q. How does one get rid of unpleasant memories and limitations?
1. Know the impermanent nature of the world and events.
2. Know the non-existence of past events right now and accept
them.
3. Be dispassionate and centered. Memories of Self are gained by
service to the noble.
4. Increase prana - So Ham! So what!!
5. Have Divine company / presence.
6. Go to the moon!!
