The Secret of Bhagavad Gita

by Vishwanath

Although we’ve seen that it isn’t necessary that there shall be the memory of past lives.Yet at the same time, we’re in a position to assert that there are instances which show that this memory does come, and that each one of us will get back this memory in that life in which he will become free. Then alone you’ll find that this world is a dream; then alone you’ll realize in your soul that we’re but actors and the world is a stage. Then alone will this idea of non-attachment come to you like thunder. Thirst for enjoyment, clinging on to life and this world, will vanish for ever . The mind will see clearly as daylight how many times all these factors existed for you, how many millions of time you had fathers and mothers, sons and daughters , husbands and wives, relatives and friends, wealth and power. They came and went. How many times you were on the topmost crest of the wave, and how many times you were down at the bottom of despair. When memory will bring all these to you, then alone will you stand as a hero and smile when the world frowns upon you. Then alone will you stand up and say “I care not for thee even, O Death.What terrors hast thou for me?’ This will come to all.
