Meditation strengthens Memory.
The re-creation of an object already perceived is called memory.
Cerebral memory we require nerve fibers and nerve-cells is
the medium. Memory of this life May be carried over to the
next life but the nervecells of this life won't be carried
over to the next life, because nerve-cells will become one
with the earth. Then how is memory of one life carried over
to another life ? It is due to extra-cerebral process. In
this process one of the factors of this quinqelemental world
serves as the medium. Here Samyak Smrti means proper Smrtii,
that is, proper memory. You should remember the proper thing
which deserves remembering.
The glands and sub-glands also are directly affected
by negative or positive microvita, which in this way
influence the hormone secretions as well as the nerve cells
or nerve fibres. One may gain or lose memory or gain or lose
strength as a result of positive or negative microvita.
This knowledge may be of various
types. In the process of meditation, the crude mind merges
into the subtle mind and the latter loses its identity in
the causal mind. In the second phase, when the subtle and
crude minds return to their active states, they perceive
something; but in that perception, there is no scope for
organically created earlier perceptions to act. This kind of
perception is called experimental knowledge or perfect
knowledge. Truly speaking although this fundamental
knowledge does not fall within the scope of perception,
surely it is also a kind of action
"Memory is strengthened by spiritual vigour. When one successfully eliminates all
impediments to spiritual progress by developing spiritual vigour
born out of shraddha' and moves towards the spiritual goal
without interruption it is called dhruva'smrti or fixed memory.
The difference between intellect and memory is this: memory
is re-creation of something already known and intellect
is subjectivisation of an objectivity. Intellect is not a propensity,
When perception becomes meaningful, that is, when a particular
name is given which corresponds to the nature of things already
perceived, it is called conception..
