What does this sutra stir in you? Ask anything — Ananda draws from many traditions and honours your own path.
Walk with us
One passage, one question, every Sunday. Nothing else, ever.
Here, as before, the mental power is explained in terms of mind-images, which are the material of which the psychic world is built, Therefore the sages teach that the world of our perception, which is indeed a world of mind-images, is but the wraith or shadow of the real and everlasting world. In this sense, memory is but the psychical inversion of the spiritual, ever-present vision. That which is ever before the spiritual eye of the Seer needs not to be remembered.
