Memory

*******************
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. wei wu Wei

The Natural State ***Once Ramaswami Pillai searched for a key.
Aftersometime 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.
