The Alpha and the Omega - Kabir Kadre.Com

support to your ego you remember, and all that was
not a support you drop it, you forget it.
So everybody has a great storehouse of dropped
memories. And whatsoever you say is not true, you
cannot remember truly. All your centers are
confused, and they enter into each other and
disturb.
Right memory. Buddha has used the words "right
memory" for meditation. Patanjali says if memory
is right, that means one has to be totally honest to
oneself. Then, only then, can memory be right.
Whatsoever has happened, bad or good, don!t
change it. Know it as it is. It is very hard! It is
arduous! You choose and change. Knowing one!s
past as it is will change your whole life. If you
rightly know your past as it is, you will not like to
repeat it in the future. Right now everybody is
thinking how to repeat it in a modified form, but if
you know your past exactly as it was you will not
like to repeat it.
Right memory will give you the impetus how to be
free from all lives. And if memory is right, then you
can go even in past lives. If you are honest, then
you can go into the past lives. And then you have
only one desire, how to transcend all this nonsense.
But you think past was beautiful, and you think
future is going to be beautiful, only this present is
wrong. But the past was present a few days before,
and the future will become present a few days after.
And every time every present is wrong, and all past
is beautiful and all future is beautiful. This is wrong
memory. Look directly. Don!t change. Look at the
past as it was. But we are dishonest.
Every man hates his father, but if you ask anybody
he will say, "I love my father. I honor my father as
anything." Every woman hates her mother, but ask
and every woman will say, "My mother, she is just
divine." This is wrong memory.
Gibran has a story. He says, one night one mother
and daughter were awakened suddenly because of a
noise. They both were sleepwalkers, and the time
the sudden noise happened in the neighborhood
they were both walking in the garden, asleep. They
were sleep-walkers.
It must have been a shock, because in sleep the old
woman, the mother, was saying to the daughter
that, "Because of you, you bitch, because of you,
my youth is lost. You destroyed me. And now
anybody who comes to the house looks at you.
Nobody looks at me." A deep jealousy that comes
to every mother when the daughter becomes young
and beautiful. It happens to every mother, but it is
inside.
