Replacing the Memories of the Past

"Actually, in every day-to-day life how to kill the memory of the past? To kill the memory of the past, is to have new memories. You must remember when you first got your realization. Always think of it. Whenever any such memory comes to you, you try to think how you got realisation. Any memory that is troublesome or even so-called elating, you just try to remember how realisation has come to you. When you feel aggressive about something or angry about something, just try to remember how you felt the joy of surrendering. Just think of that joy of surrendering, of dissolving yourself. So the new memories must be built up ... If you could record the joy of raising the Kundalini of others, you will feel a new wealth of these beautiful moments will be accumulated. And all these moments which were giving you confusion or fear or so called unhappiness and happiness will drop out and pure joy will remain. Because now most of the experiences you have had are more of joy. Joy has no thoughts."
