Memory is never lost. What happens is that, when the mind is upset, the memory becomes blurred. It is the stillness of the mind which makes one capable of distinguishing all that one's memory contains. When the mind is upset, when a person is not tranquil, then naturally - in spite of all the record the memory has - one is not able to read it. It is not true that memory gives away what is stored in it. It is only man who loses the rhythm of his life by over-excitement, nervousness, weakness of nerves, anxiety, worry, fear, confusion; and it is that which causes a kind of turmoil in the mind: one cannot distinctly find the things which were once recorded in the memory.
