Maharishi - Forgetfulness, Loss of Memory, Aug 10, 1988

Maharishi Nagar

Maharishi: …pragyaparadh is just forgetting the Samhita and

getting bewildered in the field of Rishi, Devata and Chhandas. This
forgetfulness is a quality of consciousness or intelligence.
Some proper use of medicines functioning on the level where
consciousness becomes matter... Now see, consciousness becomes
matter, there is a gap between the two qualities. Gap between the
qualities means the pradhwamsa abhava, atyanta abhava, anyonya
abhava and pragya abhava are different from one value to the other;
they are different.

Ayurveda suggests some frequency, some leaf or some bark or

something which will be suitable to that particular level of
forgetting. One could locate what has been forgotten so that this
action has resulted. From the action one determines, one diagnoses,
what kind of Devata is lacking or troubling or what Chhandas is...So
take the thing which is available somewhere in the creation and put
it together. In this way the lack is supplied to transform the gap in a
proper quality so that full memory could be made lively.

For this thing the intellect should be very clear about the beginning
and end of knowledge and the total package of knowledge, the
whole field of Rishi, Devata and Chhandas and Samhita and all its
progressive values and the entirety. If the intellect is free from
doubt, then that non-doubting intellect will be accepting for its own
fuller wakefulness whatever comes as a bubble of bliss. Naturally
that will be nourishing it. But if it is a doubting thing, then it gets
stopped and then it gets muddled...
