“The fifth item is memory.”

The fifth item is memory. It's a very powerful thing. Please understand, memories what we- what I call ‘pain body’. Here with the right knowledge only with your action, connection with it, can create suffering or joy. With the wrong knowledge, only your response can create joy or pain. With imagination only as support, supporting to imagination only that can create joy or pain. With the sleep you are support your sleep, you are part also. If it is done only then you will have joy or pain. But with memory you don't need to do anything. They are independent. Suddenly they will come up, they will occupy your whole inner space, put you in suffering for no reason.

(01:19) You can't say, "Why did you come?" They are uninvited guests. Memory is uninvited guest. Suddenly he will come and create so much of joy in your inner space and fill you with ecstasy. You can't ask, "How did you come? Why did you come? Who invited you?" No! Suddenly some memories will raise, you know you are in joy, you are in ecstasy. "Why that memory came. Why so strongly it came?" You can neither question nor understand. Suddenly you know the memory of Master is inside you, for last 10 minutes you are in ecstasy, you are in joy, just soaked in His memory, being in His presence.

(02:14) You can't say, "Why did this memory came?" You can't ask your mind, "How this memory came?" In same way, suddenly memories, which you don't want to cherish, some suffering will raise. You can't even ask, "Why did it come?" And your whole day is gone, your whole day is gone. Just one wrong memory, one wrong awakening, your whole day will be in depression, low mood. Memory is such a powerful thing. It can come up by itself and put you in joy or suffering, put you in anguish or peace, put you in bliss or suffering. It can lead you to anything on its own, by its own right. It doesn't need cooperation from your side. Right knowledge, wrong knowledge, imagination and sleep needs cooperation from your body and mind.

(03:26) All other four things your body and mind needs to cooperate but with imagination with- sorry with memory you don't need to cooperate at all. It will just erupt and you don't know why it is there. You can't ask, "Why it is there?" You can't even question, "Why did you come?" But you are in suffering or joy. That is the power of memory. Memory means the ideas, thoughts, imaginations, visualizations collectected, which is still alive inside your system. One important thing, if your memory is complete it won't lead you to suffering, it will lead you to joy. But it is not complete. If your memory about your past, if it is complete you will have knowledge about your future. Please understand, I am not giving you false promise. I am stating simple, straight truth. (04:46)

If your memory about past is clean and pure, complete, you will have a clear idea about your future. Because your future is nothing but the reproduction of the past in different dimension, that's all. Maybe the, some of the quantity will be different, but basic structure will be the reproduction of your past. Earlier you might of had one car in the past, in the future you may have few cars, but the future is going to be reproduction of the past. But the big problem is we don't even have the right idea about our past. We remember our past only after editing.

(05:42) If you think your whole life is suffering, as we usually think, you will edit and connect only all the suffering incidence. And you will think your whole life past was suffering. That one idea is enough to feel, to imagine, to visualize, to think your whole life was suffering. The memory, it is not a right memory, it's a wrong memory. Same way if you think your whole life is joy, again you will edit, cut, fix, paste and see your whole life as joy. You will connect all the joyful incidents, memory and start seeing your whole life as joy. We never comprehend. We don't have the complete memory. We don't look at the past as it happened.

We don't smell the past as it happened, as it is. If you have a simple, straight idea about the memory, past, a simple straight clear idea; you will have simple, straight, clear idea about the future. Your miscomprehension, your wrong idea about the past is responsible for the wrong idea about the future. If you think you are not able to plan your future, be very clear you don't have vision about your past. Any incident happened in the past adds some juice to your being, understanding to your being, awareness to your being, knowledge to your being, experience to your being.

(07:42) So if you are aware of all these memories, that knowledge, that essence which is added to your being will continue to guide you in the future; but when you forget those incidents, those memories. When memory loss happens, which is happening in all of us, that juice of that experience, knowledge of that experience, memory of that experience will not express itself in the future; so confusion, so confusion. Understand, right knowledge, wrong knowledge, imagination, sleep and memory. These are the five modifications leads you to suffering our anguish, suffering or anguish. So realize all these five can be either used or abused. Just this knowledge, this understanding, that it can be used or abused. It can lead to joy or suffering is enough, that is enough. You will start using them rightly. (09:00)

Whenever all this file is leading you to suffering, you are abusing it, you are misusing it. Whenever it is leading you to joy, you are using it properly. So whenever you are in suffering understand, some one of this five is misused by you. So decide you will use that properly. Whenever you are in joy, understand this five, any one or all the five are used by you rightly.
