और और और बाबर और नवजात जात
some people say that past should not be contemplated along with the future, because future has no relation with the past. Some people believe that the future is same as the past. A being takes the same form as it had in his earlier birth, man, woman, animal or bird.
From the spiritual angle it is said that one should neither remember the experiences of pleasure and pain in the past nor desire for such indulgences in future.

Some special words from this paragraph are explained as follows—
Tathagat-The commentators (Tika) have interpreted it as sarvajna or omniscient who is absolutely detached and who knows the real form of things. Vidhoot kalp-those who have washed away the dirt of karmas are called vidhoot; the conduct propagated by them is vidhoot kalp or ascetic conduct. Aggahe-devoid of the desire of acquiring. Which means that he should move about without acquiring attachment and aversion. In other words, he should lead a life of detachment, disciplining his senses as a tortoise draws its limbs and neck into the shell.
मित्र- अमित्र - विवेक
१२६. पुरिसा ! तुममेव तुमं मित्तं, किं बहिया मित्तमिच्छसि ?
जं जाणेज्जा उच्चालइयं तं जाणेज्जा दूरालइयं । जं जाणेज्जा दूरालइयं तं जाणेज्जा उच्चालइयं ।
१२६. हे
पुरुष ! ( आत्मन् !) तू ही तेरा मित्र है, फिर बाहर मित्र क्यों खोजता है ? जिसे तुम अध्यात्म की उच्च भूमिका पर स्थित समझते हो, उसको सब आसक्तियों से दूर समझो । जिसे कामनाओं से अत्यन्त दूर समझते हो, उसे उच्च भूमिका पर स्थित समझो। JUDGEMENT OF FRIEND AND FOE
126. O man! You are your own friend, why then you look for a friend outside ?
