In our entire life, in this entire world, whenever we have remembered something or somebody, we have remembered that thing, that person, for our own personal reasons. I do not remember you. I remember what I get from you. You are not important. What is important is what I seek to have from you. This is not only loveless but also quite exploitative. It is equally truthless and foolish.

Questioner: “Remember God so much that you are forgotten. Let the caller and the called disappear. Be lost in the call.”
~ Rumi
The question is, Acharya Ji, what does "being lost in the call" mean? Does it mean being totally aware at all times? Is it the same as an empty mind? What is it?
Acharya Prashant: We have to go into remembering, forgetting, calling, and disappearance. We remember and we call. Our remembrance of anything or anybody is always related to us. This would be borne out from simple observations of life. You don't always remember anything or anybody. You remember only in particular conditions related to you.
When do you remember food? When do you remember water? Please.
