Chapter XIII<br />

Memory as Brahman<br />

"Memory is, verily, greater than the akasa. <strong>The</strong>refore<br />

even when many people assemble, if they had no<br />

memory they would not hear anyone at all, they would<br />

not think, they would not understand. But surely, if<br />

they had memory, they would hear, think and<br />

understand. Through memory one knows one‟s sons,<br />

through memory one‟s cattle. Meditate on memory.<br />

2<br />

"He who meditates on memory as Brahman can, of<br />

his own free will, reach as far as memory reaches-he<br />

who meditates on memory as Brahman."<br />

Narada said: "Venerable Sir, is there anything greater<br />

than memory?"<br />

"Of course there is something greater than memory."<br />

"Please tell that to me, venerable Sir."<br />
