Freedom from the Past One of the reasons due to which we lose much of the joy in our life is that most of the time, we remain in the past. We float in the past on three accounts: Most of the people remain immersed in the memories of the past and miss the present.

1. We constantly dream of whatever good and pleasant has occurred to us in the past and remain immersed in those memories and scenes and wish the same to be repeated in future in the same form or in a more exciting form. So you can see that the future is nothing but the projection of our past.

2. Whatever bad or unpleasant has happened to us in the past, constantly trouble us and we keep asking ourselves as to why it happened to me or why was I so unlucky? You also feel shuddered to imagine those incidents which were heart-rending/shocking and tragic.

3. If something wrong or undesirable has been done by you in the past due to your fault or negligence the past (whether from social, legal or moral consideration), it constantly moves with you like a sword hanging above your head in the form of guilt. [More about Guilt in chapter 46.Now think whether any of the above serves some purpose or it simply spoils the joy of our present also.

The point no.1 mentioned above simply makes you more and more excited because you want to repeat those pleasures of the past but life never repeats itself. Repetition is not the law of the universe. Here every moment comes as a fresh package.

The point no.2 mentioned above makes you simply depressed by thinking about the bad things which happened to you and the third point keeps you in a state of guilt. From spiritual perspective, we should continuously die to the past whether good or bad and be reborn in the present. After dealing with a moment fully and wholeheartedly, we should be able to let it go and welcome the next moment. No clinging should remain with the moment which is passing away.

Swami Vivekananda always used to emphasise that concentration and detachment should be practised simultaneously. This is actually the key of spirituality, i.e., concentration on the present moment and detachment from the past moment. Of course, consciously recalling some information of the past from your memory for making its use in the present is a different thing and this shouldnt be confused with what we are talking about. Please remember that spiritually, the only use of the past is to learn various lessons which various situations and events have presented before you. The actual events are not that important.

Regarding your attachment to the pleasures of the past, please note that God has designed this life and this world in such a manner that pleasures and joys are not concentrated in a particular time and in a particular place. They are scattered across all times and all spaces. So instead of clinging on to the old pleasures of the past, enjoy the fresh and new pleasures of the present, otherwise in the attempt to hold on to the past, you will continuously miss the joys and pleasures of the present and therefore, will not be able to live your life to the fullest.
