The past need to be let through

Nov 6 aft

Adhyatma Upanishad
Ramakrishna
However supreme a state an individual may attain, the past that is attached to the body will complete itself. Happiness and sufferings will come and go, but the liberated person will know that it is only the accumulated past actions. Knowing so, he will stand apart from them too, and his witnessing will not be affected by them in any way. His witnessing is now steady.
Just as an arrow that has left the bow cannot be called back, just as a word that has left the lips cannot be called back - in the same way the body is just a mechanical arrangement.
Whatsoever happened though in the past will be completed. So the body will have to suffer and endure.

Soul
Maybe just take my tots of the past as my past action. Keep observing. Need not react.

Adhyatma Upanishad
The mind has first to be purified through right listening, right contemplation and assimilation. When the receptivity of the mind becomes pure, so that it can produce an authentic copy of whatsoever is happening.

Similarly like dark clouds covering the outer sky, clouds also cover the inner sky. The clouds of inner sky are called thoughts, choices, desires - whatsoever we want to call them. When such clouds cover the inner sky, there too one feels no cloudless sky exist behind them. Removing those inner clouds and seeing into the inner blue sky is meditation.
