Relive and Relieve!

A devotee once asked me, 'How do we overcome karma?' I replied, 'I will give you a simple technique. Practice it. From this moment, try and remember all the incidents in your life. Start going backwards from this moment until you reach your childhood days. Recall whatever you can. Don't bother about what you can't. You must realize that what you can't remember is really only a hangover. It has not deeply touched you. That is why it is not retained in your memory. Try this technique for a year. It will help you let go of your memories. It will help you to release yourself from karma. Reliving is a wonderful way of relieving.'

There is a qualifier to this exercise. We all can't go back and relive every memory. To do this totally, completely, we need to have the emotional freedom from our memories.

It will work for us only if we have total emotional freedom, to recall any memory we wish to. No memory, when it is recalled, should create any emotional bondage or baggage. Only then are we emotionally free from them. Remember: if we are emotionally free from any memory, we will be able to access and store memories anywhere. Don't create an emotional bondage with any memory. Release it.

Meditation is another useful method to control the influence of our mind. We can pass up anger, depression, and memories by meditation. Our body is nothing but the individual sparks of consciousness. Each spark in fact is a reflection of the Whole. Every spark makes a valuable contribution to the larger hologram or picture. There is a technique simpler than meditation.
