According to Osho, recalling one’s birth and past death matters because it opens the unconscious’s “tremendous treasures,” revealing a continuous identity flowing through many lives—even as animals, trees, or stones. Through relaxed regression (jati-smaran), repeated, consistent memories indicate it’s not imagination. Such remembrance widens awareness beyond the narrow conscious mind, easing fear and loosening egoic fixation on a single lifetime.
Remembering birth and past death shows your life is part of a much bigger story, so you fear less and live wiser.
