Sri Devi Khadgamala Stotram

Perfect Forgetfulness

"It takes tremendous energy to remember things. This is why Kundalini never gets an opportunity to wake up in most people, much less rise. So long as your memory is strongly connected to your own karmas all of Kundalini's energy will be taken up just in the act of remembering who you are... ...in order to make Kundalini wake completely you must forget to identify even with the memories of past lives; you require perfect forgetfulness."
