Ask Osho!

Do old memories create a problem for Krishna when explaining the Geeta to Arjuna?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Memory should serve you, not enslave you; true wisdom arises from a living presence that uses the past as a tool, not a burden."

According to Osho, old memories do not hinder Krishna; a spontaneous, ever-renewed consciousness remains master of memory. Such awareness keeps memory fresh and uses it as needed, never becoming its slave. Problems arise only for those chained to the dead past. Krishna speaks from living presence, employing memory as a tool, not a tyrant.
For Krishna, memory is a tool he uses—not a boss that controls him.
Why this matters practically
- Act from present awareness instead of outdated habits.
- Avoid being ruled by past hurts and conditioning.
- Respond with clarity and freshness in difficult situations.
