Human Brain: A Marvellously Rich Storehouse of Memory-IV

= Pt. ShriRam Sharma

This is how he was able to distribute, on his own, hundreds of postal articles every day. There was never any mistake on his part or any complaint against him during his tenure as a postman. The example of Mr. Nebur of Germany is rarest of its kind. Exceptional memory of this man had made him known across the world only in a single day. Once the office where he used to work as a clerk caught fire. Many important papers and files were burnt. Nebur's supernormal memory came into light when he successfully reproduced the lost records in a short span of time. Many of these records, reference numbers etc, were verified against the copies available with the clients and no mistake or slip of memory (on Nebur's part) was detected. 

His hidden talents were also recognized on many other occasions after this amazing incident. Mr. Joseph Burnheart Duncan had nine secretaries for different languages when he was the director of the national library of Munich. He had such a control of mind and command over several languages that he used to dictate official letters and other deliberations in nine different languages to all his secretaries simultaneously. He had also memorized the Bible by heart and was able to reproduce the corresponding sections completely whenever asked from any page of the Holy Scripture. 

Recalling the location of the millions of books in the library was so easy for him as if the catalogue was kept open before his eyes. It was popularly said that his brain (intelligence) would 'weigh' more than any amount of linguistic knowledge and stock of information existing on the earth. Rebi Elisa of Lithuania was popular for her exceptional mental power. However, for want of proper direction and control her talents could not be used for anything significant. In her lifetime she memorized about two thousands books just after one reading. You open any page from any of these books and ask her, she was able to repeat every line, every word of it without any mistake. In the days of emperorship in Germany, the royal library was located in Prasa. 

Its Librarian Mathurin Bessire had unique hearing memory. In one of the planned tests of his exceptional memory, twelve ambassadors of different countries visited him at the same time. One after the other, they spoke twelve different sentences in their languages before him. After a few moments, Bessire repeated the same sentences without flaw although he did not know any of those languages. Benjamin Schultz had translated the Holy Bible in three Indian languages. He was able to speak and read about hundred languages of the world. He remembered and used to sing devotedly the Christian prayer hymns and their translations available in as many as 215 languages and dialects. 

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
