An extract from “A Hermit in the Himalayas” was found in the “Sunday Times”. It related to recapitulation of past incarnations. In it P. B. has mentioned the Buddhist methods for gaining that faculty. Sri Bhagavan said, “These is a class of people who want to know all about their future or their past. They ignore the present. The load from the past forms the present misery. The attempt to recall the past is mere waste of time.”
