Memory Full ?

I wanted to record some music on my iPhone 

But it said 'Memory full'. 

I was advised to delete some old, not-so-useful material to make some memory available for the new or more important stuff. 

Needless to say that I followed the advice - deleted some unimportant pics and videos and made some memory available to save what I wanted to.

However, it made me realize later that our minds are also full of countless old memories. 

Some are useful, and some are useless.

We have stored so much useless information in our brains and minds that we cannot accept any new ideas and concepts.

Moreover, I started getting another message that my iCloud was full.

Apparently, it was storing everything from my phone - regardless of whether I wanted it to be saved or not. 

Similarly, whether we want it to be saved or not - our subconscious mind also stores everything - every event and incident we ever encounter. Therefore, piles and piles of unwanted memories - concepts, and dogmas gradually get saved and imprinted on our subconscious minds. 

Sometimes, the clutters of such useless memories and concepts can cloud our judgments and even become hindrances in our progress.

The times have changed and are changing rapidly. 

We need to 'unlearn' and delete whatever is of no use to us anymore. 

Only then new ideas and more beneficial thoughts can be learned and accumulated that might help us grow and improve in any field - professional or spiritual.
