Verily Meditate On Memory As Self! O Mortal!

By Anand Krishna

Verily if you have no memory, you shall not hear.
Verily if you have no memory, you shall not think.
Verily if you have no memory, you shall not understand.
Verily you can hear only if you can remember.
Verily meditate on memory as self! O mortal!

Verily you can think only if you can remember.
Verily you can understand only if you can remember.
Verily through memory one can recognize his own sons and progeny.
Verily through memory one can recognize one’s own cattle.
Verily you shall have unlimited freedom as far as memory reaches.
Verily meditate on memory as self! O mortal!
