Episodic memory. Day to day memory

A
Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. ~Anne Lamott

HARI KATHA

.............(((((Tirtha Das)))))
🪷"BHAKTISIDDHANTA VANI"🪷

🙏Why does a person who was once properly motivated develop material attachment after some time? 

💗Answer:
☆This person must not have heard hari-kathā, due to inattention while hearing. 
He has not tried at all to refrain from seeking immediate happiness. Rather, 
he is maddened for sense gratification 
on the advice of sinful people. 
The most important thing is to take 
the shelter of the Supreme Lord. 
It does not matter whether we are educated or uneducated, powerful or weak. The living entities are transcendental by nature, but when they think they belong to this world, consisting of the three material modes, they become attached to this world.  

【Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati
