"Forget for-getting God"

My father was an intelligent lawyer. He had a fantastic memory. One day, he was sitting on the portico when Swami came and asked him, “Hey Pandya, what do you want?”

My father didn’t really want anything as he had everything in life. So, he didn’t have anything to ask for. However, thinking himself to be intelligent and smart, my father said: “Swami, I want Moksha.”

To that, Swami said, “Accha, you want Moksha? Come on, let's go inside.”

So, saying Swami led him into the interview room. My father was extremely happy and thought to himself, “I'm going to get my Moksha inside the interview room.”

Swami made him sit and said, “Tell me, what is your name?" This set off a volley of questions and answers. Swami asked several questions on where my father was born, his father’s name, mother’s name, wife’s name, son etc. This went on and on until some 100, 200, 300 questions were asked – countless. My father priding himself on his sharp memory power, gave a pat response to every question.
Eventually, Swami said: “Aah! Itna yaad hai toh kaise "moksha" milega?” (If you remember so much, how will you get liberation?

You need to forget stuff to get Moksha, empty the head of unnecessary information. God is very simple. Swami is a very, very simple Avatar. Let's learn to forget everything. If you are able to forget and live this moment freely in life, then you are a happy person. If you carry your such a baggage at this very moment, then you're a dead person".
