Past birth is one of the most fascinating subjects as far as the inner world is concerned. Everybody in the whole world is interested is interested in this subject! Not a single man says, ‘I am not interested in my past births.’ Even the people who don’t believe in past births are interested in their past births! If I tell them, ‘I can show you your past births’, then immediately their eyes light up. They don’t believe others had a past life, but they do believe they had a past life! Understand, whenever people say, I don’t believe in God, they don’t believe that others believe in God. But in their heart of hearts, in their secret heart, they say, ‘I think... maybe... who knows, He may be there somewhere. Why take the risk?’
In the same way, when people say, ‘I
don’t believe in past births’, what
does it mean? It means they don’t
believe in others believing in past
births! I wanted all of you to know
that statistics say that 76% of
Americans believe in past birth, in
the reincarnation theory.
Past birth is one of the most fascinating concepts. Everybody is interested for various reasons. Some people are interested just out of curiosity, how was I? Some people are interested just to find out in what way that knowledge can add something to their personality now, at this moment. Sometimes knowing about your past gives you new intelligence and heals your present. It heals many of the psychosomatic disorders. Many of the phobias can be healed by knowing the past and releasing it.
If you know the past, you will not repeat the same foolishness again and again. Many people want to know about their past so that they don’t repeat the same foolishness again; just to escape from the foolishness. Ultimately, when you know about your past, whatever has happened again and again, how you took birth and died, you will be tired of that foolishness and stop taking birth and be liberated. Understand, the basic truth I want you to know is, we did have past births. The reincarnation theory is true. And by knowing the past births, you can be liberated from all the problems of the present birth.
