Ask Osho!

Do you know our past lives?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The present moment is the key to transformation; all your past lives are contained within it, waiting to be embraced and understood."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, he can know past lives if he chooses, but he intentionally avoids it, because the present is sufficient. What you are now already carries the imprint of all your yesterdays; transformation happens only here-and-now. Chasing biographies of previous births feeds curiosity, not consciousness. Attend to this moment, and the whole chain of the past is resolved.
He says he could know your past lives, but he doesn’t, because fixing your life now is what truly helps.
Why this matters practically
- Focuses your energy on choices you can change today.
- Avoids distraction and anxiety from speculative past-life stories.
- Transforms patterns now, which naturally dissolves the weight of the past.
