Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 4.29.64
नानुभूतं क्व चानेन देहेनादृष्टमश्रुतम् ।
कदाचिदुपलभ्येत यद्रूपं यादृगात्मनि ॥ ६४ ॥
nānubhūtaṁ kva cānena
dehenādṛṣṭam aśrutam
kadācid upalabhyeta
yad rūpaṁ yādṛg ātmani
Sometimes we suddenly experience something that was never experienced in the present body by sight or hearing. Sometimes we see such things suddenly in dreams.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The mind stores thoughts and experiences from previous lives. Impressions not experienced in the present body may suddenly appear in dreams or thoughts.
These stored impressions show a chain of continuation from one life to another. The purport also explains natural devotional inclination in terms of this continuity.
Constantly thinking of Kṛṣṇa leads to His kingdom at death. Even if our attempt at Kṛṣṇa consciousness remains incomplete, it continues in the next life.
Śrīla Prabhupāda's own sentences, chosen from the purport as its central points. Read the full purport on Vedabase to see them in place.
