SAMADHIPAD SUTRA-11

                            ANUBHUTA VISHSYA ASAMPRAMOSHAH SMRITI

               MEMORY IS RECOLLECTION OF PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED THINGS
      The five different things that create the waves in our mind were mentioned in past sutras. Now this one explains the 5th and the last one.Memory is recollections of previously experienced things. So we can not remember thing that we have never experienced. In the process of recollection,we may depend upon any of the previous;y mentioned things that we normally use to come to a conclusion. Say for example we are in a house and hear the sounds of screeching tires . We conclude that some car went by with sudden increase in speed . Or it is 4th of July and we hear sounds out side , we conclude that there must be fire crackers going on .In the first case we base our conclusion based on previous experience and our conclusion was right . In second case same thing was applied , but we could be wrong as the sound that we hear may be a gun fire and not fire crackers.(SEE SUTRA7 FOR THE 3 DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CONCLUDE.)
         In any case we must have had experienced it before. Now some one may state that the recent research had shown that false memory can be implanted in anyone by telling a story. Young kids who were told about getting lost in moll ( false story ),in series of different childhood memories that were real, could recollect the false memories in great detail, when asked about it in future. In this case it is still a memory and it may not be actually experienced by them , but it still was memory that was created by repeatedly being told. We can not recollect anything that we have never heard , or seen or experienced with any one of our 5 sense perception organs .
       So these are 5 different categories of the thought waves.
       In the next one we will know how to control these waves .
