“Because your left side is weak, means, you always live in your memory – your memory is stronger than yourself. If you could make yourself stronger than your memory, nothing can possess you. But after you get your realization, you are not still identified with that state of mind in which you see your ego and super-ego as myths. Still you get caught up into your ego and super-ego, and that is why your attention is still in a mess. In a pure simple way of Attention, in an innocent child, he sees everything in ‘Pratyaksha’, means in actual experiencing of something, for a child, because he has no memory… So you have to balance that side also and this side and you have to be in the centre, in the ‘equilibrium’.

Now this word equilibrium does not exist in our day to day life, it exists only in the fiction or may be in the so-called scientific research. But as far as human beings are concerned, they do not know what equilibrium is “Because” of this, the Attention, though ‘after’ realisation comes up, still on the sides they just go down – this side or that side according to your vrittis (tendency). And when these identifications still act in them, they are prone to go down again in their Attention.

And again start bubbling out the same thing as they had… So now for you, because you are enlightened now, is to understand that our Attention has to move higher ‘and’ higher, at a higher space.”
