Hare Krishna we can’t change our past but we can change how we see and explain our past many things have happened to us in the past and all of us have had bad things terrible things happen to us and we can’t change it and we feel that we are reduced to helpless victims because of our past because if something is unchangeable what can we do about it however we need to understand that we do have power over how we see and explain our past that means the past is a set of events but we don’t just see them as discrete events we create a story that makes sense of those events and that story is often a misleading story that story can be changed so for example we may have been neglected by our parents we may have been bullied by others in school we may have been cheated by maybe our loved ones somebody whom we trusted and now when we see all this we may see how we may create a story that people are terrible and then that story is what we can change yes several people may have been terrible to me but we can also look at people who have been good to us or if we feel that nobody has been good to me which is usually not true still we can look around us to see where people are good to other people so what we see in our past with what story we see our past and what story we use to explain our past that is in our power to change and beyond the specific social, economic or other causes that we might we might make as the main storyline of our life oh I was born in such a poor country and that’s why I am suffering so much instead of that if we look for a higher storyline and Gita Wisdom offers us the storyline of the divine hand of God guiding us that there is a divine being in 1323 in the Bhagavad Gita it is said that there is the divine being, there is Krishna Upadrashta, he is the overseer, he is the permitter and he is he is our maintainer, he is the ultimate enjoyer and he is the parmatma he is the supreme being and he is the well-wisher of everyone in 529 Krishna says that so when we see that there is a divine plan working in our life and there is this divine plan supreme divinity is ultimately our benefactor then we look for and eventually find the hand of God working in our lives if we look at that if we are just alive then there is more right than wrong in our lives whatever be our age there are so many people who die before they come to our age so there is definitely much right in our life and if we change how we see and explain our past then we can create more positive energy within ourselves and we can use that positive energy to create a better future for ourselves thank you Hare Krishna
