"The question is why we don’t remember our past lives and if we did perhaps, we would operate in a better way. Let’s face it, It’s not a perfect system. It’s work in progress. Having said that, there is no why to it.
That’s the way things are. Even science cannot explain you the why. It can only tell you the reason which would equate with why. It will say that this is happening, and this is why it is happening but why that is happening to begin with nobody knows.
And that’ what scriptures call “Maya”. That’s what maya Is where you forget and even if you remember you forget. We read stories, we connect and very quickly we forget. They remain stories even for people to whom they actually happened. When we remember those, we feel incredibly grateful and then when we go through our own challenges, soon we have forgotten everything and then we question and self-doubt or we doubt our object of faith whether it is our guru or god or anybody else. That’s what maya is, that we know and yet we don’t know.
