Knowledge of the Supreme Reality
26. O Noble One! See (in meditation) birth and growth.
ANNOTATION 26. To see birth means to observe the chain of births. One, who observes birth by diving deep into his own mind, regains memory of a number of his previous births through further observation. We easily remember events which had taken place ten or twenty years back. Similarly, the last birth also should be in our memory. But usually it is not so. The reason for this is stupefication caused by extreme pain felt at the time of birth and death.
Jāta mānassa jam dukkham maramāņassa jaṁtuno/ Tena dukkhena sammuḍho, jatim na sarati appano
Bio Uddeso
By observing birth by concentrating on it the stupefication is overcome and the memory of the past is fegained.
