Reason for the Provision of Forgetfulness of Past Lives in the Present Life - EMyron Phelps |
|
The cutting of recollections of past lives in the present life is necessary to the present life, else the latter could not take the course which it takes without that recollection. Consider how impossible it would be for you to live over in the same way the preceding years of your life with your present knowledge. Could you possibly give to the various pursuits which then engaged your attention that whole-hearted devotion which was necessary to make them fruitful? Obviously not, as the things which you then considered as important, you have now come to regard as unimportant, and the reverse. But, in order that karma should be exhausted, it was necessary that your life should have been lived as you actually lived it. The case would be similar if you remembered past lives in this. |
