Who were You in Your previous births Swami ji?

[A question by Shri Jayesh Pandey]

Swami replied:- What is the use of knowing this because My spiritual knowledge alone will help you in giving the right direction in your spiritual journey? You have switched on the light and are using it to study the Gita. What is the use of knowing the design and technology of the electric bulb?

Shri Jayesh Pandey: Was I also there with You in my previous births. If I was there then how was my behaviour towards You?

Swami replied:- The fact is that I was with you in all your previous births and it is not correct to say that you were with Me in your previous births. Your previous behaviour is not important because the nature of any created item changes with time. I am concerned with your present behaviour only because past is useless history and future is unpredictable story. Present is only the reality. If you can forget the past and do not bother about the future, you can fully concentrate on the present, which has every possibility to continue in the future as well, destroying the useless past.
