Description

Acharya Prashant explains that our tendency to remember loved ones as physical bodies stems from our own identification with the body. He asserts that memory is a material configuration within the brain, and as long as we view ourselves and others as material objects, there will always be a sense of separation and suffering. True closeness does not require the assistance of memory; in fact, needing to remember someone often indicates they are distant from us. As one's identification with the body diminishes through spiritual advancement, the insistence on memorization also fades, leading to a deeper, inseparable bond that transcends physical presence or absence.
