Why We Don't Remember Our Past Lives

Tweet

"Who knows what he sowed in past eras? Who knows of his deeds in past lives?" "Your spirit has lived long, but your flesh does not know it. If your body has forgotten the first years of your infancy, how can it recognize the evolution of your spirit along the lengthy journey?" "What do you know about your past, and how far back is your origin? What do you know about where you came from, where have you been, and where are you heading?" "I conceal from you that book of your past, for if you were to contemplate its pages, you would weep of sorrow and sicken with sadness. And in many, the bitterness and horror would be of such magnitude that they would consider themselves unworthy of forgiveness and redemption." "Think upon how many times, in this life that you now have, there have been days when you have prayed at dusk to forget all about what you went through since daybreak. Imagine of the heavy burden that men would have to carry if they were to remember each and every one of their past wrongdoings, mistakes and even crimes of all their past existences. It is my divine compassion the one that protects you with the merciful veil of oblivion."
