No amount of memory can prepare you for the present.

Q: Don't I need a lot of experience before I can reach such a high level of awareness? Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Experience leaves only memories behind and adds to the burden which is already heavy enough. You need no more experiences. The past ones are sufficient.

It’s like looking at one’s footprints in the search of direction, while ignoring everything else that’s going on in the present surroundings. A rather fruitless endeavor, yet we even built the whole study of history in this spirit. 😂

😄 I love that analogy so much! Can I add it into my repertoire of analogies? Yes, I agree. Memory is a lovely thing but it's an aspect of the present not a prerequisite.
