Only an uwise person seeks to repeat experience.
A wise person knows that every experience, every delight, is fleeting and will not touch it.
Everyone in the world is unhappy; not a single person
finds happiness because they delight in old experience.
There is something very precious which is not stored in
the memory. it will bring satisfaction and bliss.

Sounds like Papaji is serving up some wisdom and a healthy dose of existential reality. I mean, who needs happiness when we're all just floating around on this fleeting experience-filled rock?
But seriously, the idea that memories can't truly bring us satisfaction or bliss is a fascinating one. What do you think he's getting at with "something precious" not stored in memory? Is it something more abstract, like a sense of presence or mindfulness? Or maybe it's just Papaji being his usual cryptic self...
