One must not cling to the memories of past experiences

According to Sri Aurobindo, when one dies do we retain memories in a certain way, so that it is integrated into something finer and grander or is there a certain relapse, forgetting 'human experiences' as other world views would suggest? Ive read a couple of books about this great man by Chaudhuri etc. but don't know his interpretation on this clearly. If anyone can make a suggestion I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Also there is the common knowledge that the mother constructed a bridge - a tunnel of light - in the first part of the last century, that allows that psychic being to pass directly to the psychic world without the perilous s-and sometimes long- journey through the 'lower' regions.
