Narration
Translated
What is the surest way to enjoy peace? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today of a powerful technique with a memorable example.
Through one’s heart and blood vessels, man’s lifestream is beating. This beat will come to an end sometime. Truly birth is followed by death, and death again by birth, and so on. We should try and understand the secret of this life. Like a man who is swimming and moving forward in a river, we should also forget the experiences we had in the past and swim forward. Only if the swimmer throws back the water which is ahead of him will he move forward. If he does not throw back the water that is ahead of him, he will stay where he is. As in this analogy, only if man attempts to throw back the experience which he has lived through, will he be able to move forward. If one follows such a path, one will find that in man’s life there is no place for anger, no place for jealousy, and his life will move on pleasantly.
- Summer Showers in Brindavan, 1977, Ch 17.

Remember the lessons from the clock – always move forward, leave the past behind. -BABA
