Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the mind's tendency to weave dreams around new life events, such as the birth of a child. He asserts that nothing in human life is truly new; our experiences are ancient, primitive, and purely biological. We perceive events as new only because of our limited memory and lack of self-awareness. He compares humanity to someone with amnesia who finds an old shoe and thinks it is a novel gift, failing to realize they have repeated the same cycles of attraction, repulsion, and suffering for millions of years. True memory, as seen in the Jataka tales of Shri Buddha, is not about superficial events but a deep realization of the repetitive nature of existence across countless births.
