According to Osho, you can live in the present only when the mind is unburdened by the past. ‘Returning to the past’ is not dwelling there; it’s a conscious revisiting to release attachment and aversion, so the memory’s sting dissolves. By letting the past drop—like a shed skin—the inner mirror is cleaned, allowing fresh, moment-to-moment seeing.
To be fully here now, calmly look back just enough to let old hurts go, then drop them.
