Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who is troubled by the inability to recall the details of a long spiritual session, comparing it to a monkey trapped by its own grip on a cherry. He explains that the desire to retain information as memory or knowledge is a sign of a restless, fearful mind that acts like an accountant, keeping track of every penny. In contrast, the inability to recall a profound experience is a sign of deep peace and proximity to the infinite. He asserts that true spiritual work is like a gymnasium where one loses weight rather than gaining it; it is a process of reduction, not accumulation. When the mind is truly silent and trusting, it stops recording and registering, leading to a state of 'samadhi' or wordless silence where memory becomes irrelevant. He further explains that memory is primarily a tool for the ego and is often rooted in problems and suffering. He quotes Kabir Saheb to emphasize that whatever does not leave the mind is 'Maya' or illusion. Acharya Prashant describes his own state of being 'carefree' and 'unarmed' when speaking, noting that he does not carry the burden of preparation or the desire to influence others. He argues that while memory is useful for mundane tasks like remembering where a toothbrush is, it is a hindrance to actual living and love. He critiques the modern obsession with 'mindfulness' and 'constant remembrance,' suggesting instead that being completely empty and forgetful is a higher state. He concludes by warning against the desire to occupy someone else's mind or heart, calling such mental possession a form of violation, and advocates for a mind that remains unoccupied and silent.
