Questioner : Dada, surely memory will have to be
removed.
Dadashri : This memory itself tells you that it wants to
be cleansed, erased. There would be utter confusion if there
were no memory. What would you erase if there were no
memory? How would you know where your attachment and
abhorrence lie? Memory arises for its spontaneous resolution. It
comes forth so the link to attachment and abhorrence may be
erased. So erase whatever comes forth and when you do that
you will free yourself. You remember only because you have the
link to attachment and abhorrence here. You should repent for
it and make a firm resolve never to repeat that mistake and thus
erase it. You can wipe it (raag-dwesh) out by doing just this and
that memory will leave forever. Real Gnan is the Gnan that will
make you forget the world.

People find discomfort in the sofa they have had for a
few years, because they find it outdated. People create discomfort
in situations of comfort. Some even sit on an easy chair and yet
remain uneasy. Mooah! During your entire life you are allowed
to be uneasy just once and yet you spend the entire day being
uneasy. The whole daylong you spend crying out your pain and
sorrow. In Bombay there is an abundance of happiness and yet
people pass their days being unhappy. Discomfort and
inconvenience is when your brand new sofa breaks within five
days of purchase. But here you create discomfort as an excuse
for a new sofa; you create discomfort in a perfectly comfortable
sofa. A woman sees new sofa (imported furniture) in her
neighbor’s home and pesters her husband for weeks to buy
