KAIWALYA PAAD SUTRA - 9

                             JATI  DESH  KAL  VYAVAHITANAM  API  ANTARYAM
                   
                                       SMRUTI - SAUSKARAYOH  EKARUPATWAT

                  EVEN THOUGH  THE LIVES  ARE SEPARATED  BY  CLASS  PLACE  TIME

                                       THERE IS  CONTINUITY  OF MEMORY

       This Sutra is continuation of the last one . This one based on the concept of the reincarnation . We go through the cycle of birth and death , There is no end to the cycle unless we have exhausted all the desires -VASANAS and payed all the debt that we accumulate through out our multiple lives . So the soul goes through the multiple different physical bodies but the Astral and the Causal bodies will continue through all the lives . Until we drop all 3 bodies are dropped , the soul is not free . There is no 'fixed' time that is lapsed between the 2 different lives . So someone may be born in very short period like months  and someone may be born after years -many many years .
      When there is big gap between the 2 lives  there is chance that the memory of the experience may fade away. One may not be born in same place or even same class . The class does not mean class of human being , but sometimes even different species . So the Sutra states that the memory of this continues beyond the time . place  and the person .So how does this happen  and if it does happen, the impressions of various experiences must be stored somewhere other than physical body . The physical body is destroyed with death and so the impressions can not be carried from one life to other if they were stored in physical body. So these are stored in Astral body. As I understand these are stored in ABSTRACT form. These are the one that drive our DESIRE to be reborn . So we are born with certain Desires which are created y our experiences that are born out of our actions .
  So inspite of change of time and place  and the cast or species , we continue to have memories of our previous impressions . This does not mean we have memories of our previous lives .But we do have impressions from previous lives that will make us DO things  and although we have some control over our actions , they are guided by our previous impression -just like it is in this like , Say I was attacked by a dog . My reaction to a dog will be different than someone who had dog as a pet as a child . He will be friendly and i will be scared. But this Sutra tells us that this impression continues even after the death and is 'stored' in abstract form.
