Inner Dimension

Most people do not realize to what extent their lives moulded by memory.

- Sadhguru

What a human being considers to be ‘me’ is essentially a product of the past. Your body and your mind have been entirely fashioned by an accumulation of memory.

It is past information that has determined your form, shape and biology, for instance. Consider that if a man eats a slice of bread, that bread turns, over time, into a man. If a woman eats the same bread, it is transformed into a woman. If a dog eats it, it is morphed into a dog. That’s one smart slice of bread, isn’t it? of course, as we all know, the transformation has nothing to do with the bread, but with the memory encoded within the system that transforms the bread into a man, woman or dog.

Your very existence is an accumulation of memory. If we erase the memory, you will cease to exist! this is what this tradition meant when it spoke of karma nashana. If you destroy all memory, the very being ceases to be. That is a state of mukti because you are free from existence. Once memory, which is the basis of existence, is destroyed, you don’t have to exist anymore. This is the state of unbounded freedom extolled by seers and sages down the ages.
