But Arjuna went on to another point. This doubt is not Arjuna's alone; knowing that such doubts come to ordinary people, God said, “The dhīra is not deluded by this,” and answered that doubt right there, without delay. “Arjuna! Through the changes of state the Buddhi can keep its memory up to a point; but at the time of death, that is, in the conditions of passing into another body, the Buddhi is shattered. With that blow it forgets everything that has gone by, all at once. Remembering and forgetting are a property of the Buddhi, not a property of the Ātma.”
