Description

Acharya Prashant explains that forgetting is an inherent property of the mind and advises against asking why we forget, as the very act of questioning implies a temporary state of remembrance. He emphasizes that because the mind is so prone to forgetting, even the answers provided to such questions are quickly lost. He observes that people often forget to the extent that they are unaware of their own forgetfulness. This blissful ignorance leads to a false sense that 'all is well,' whereas he suggests that one should remain vigilant, constantly questioning what has been forgotten, because the current state of the self rarely warrants such complacency.
